Miniature Candle Favors

I'm a huge fan of candles. I always have one burning in my Dollshouse (that's what my house is called... the Dollshouse). When i saw these gorgeous mini candles, by Glasshouse Fragrances, in a store in Brisbane i seriously wanted to buy them all and store them somewhere incase i ever get married myself. They are so chic and elegant and come in a myriad of colours, so no matter what colour theme your wedding is, there is a candle perfect for you. I know that if i was attending a wedding and saw one of these sitting on the table as a favor, i would be very impressed and de-lighted !! Flaming fabulous i say !!

Chelsea De Luca Statement Jewellery

Last month i finally walked into Chelsea de Luca jewellery boutique in Brisbane.

Tiffany Locks

Oooohhhhhhh Tiffany's ... they always get it right! The release of Tiffany Locks is the perfect way to commemorate your wedlock. What's more exciting is that you can be really cheeky and ask your husband to buy you one every year for your wedding anniversary and create a divine heirloom jewelry piece. For me... it would be perfect next to the Tiffany key that Frog Prince gave me. He told me he held the key to my heart, but now i'm locking it up so it will never be broken and battered again.

"A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out, and we can be completely and honestly be who we are. We can be loved for who we are and not for who we are pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life."

Quote by Richard Bach

The Missing Piece To Me

I don't know about you, but when i met Frog Prince, everything just fell into place perfectly. It didn't take long for me to realize that he was the missing piece to the complex puzzle that is me!! He truly did complete me. So when i saw this puzzle necklace design by French luxury jeweler Akillis, i couldn't resist but add it to my romantic gift wish list. Wouldn't it just make the perfect wedding day treasured gift?... Swoon !!

Unfortunately Akillis is currently only available in a few locations throughout France. I am yet to find another jeweler who makes an equally elegant jigsaw puzzle charm or pendant. If you know of anyone please leave a love note below with the details.

Memories In Sketch
