a new love - vintage magazines!

this last weekend i picked up 3 vintage better homes & garden magazines from 1952 & 1953 - oh my goodness what on earth has taken me so long to grab these beauties.  the ads are completely and totally over the top - i've never been so in love.  the classic coca cola and car ads are my absolute fav!

retro design is a new favorite of mine - especially since we started planning our scarlet & cream business :) do you have any favorite vintage ads or magazines to look through?  please do share!!

52 years and counting...

i cant even believe that matthew and i have already been married for 5 months, it seems like just yesterday we got back from our honeymoon in cozumel after celebrating our big day on 6/12/2010 with friends and family.

the other day i was cleaning up a little bit and came across this beautiful picture of my grandparents (we had gathered old wedding pictures of our family to display at our wedding and this one was an extra). this photograph was taken during their honeymoon in miami...they were married on september 19th, 1958.

52 years of marriage and still counting! i can't wait till matthew and i can say that ♥

our photographer Corey Rourke is still working on getting us all of the pictures (my gosh were there a lot!), but i thought i would share just a few that he captured on our very special day :) our wedding theme was vintage carnival/circus...it was so fun and playful!

a picture of my shoes :) i ♥ feathers!

matthew and i seeing each other for the first time!

have a magical day ♥ xo lindsay

i heart postcards...

...especially when they are vintage! matthew and i picked out about 200 different postcards from a local antique store to use at our wedding. we wanted to do something a little different for our guest table, so we decided to use these postcards as the "guest book." lucky for us we bought enough so that we could use the extras as our thank you cards!

here are some of my favorite postcards that our guests signed. the colors are so pretty and i absolutely adore the hand drawn ones at the bottom.
