Country Wedding

We had so much fun this past weekend. As I mentioned, My cousin Jocelyne got married and it was such a sweet, wonderful wedding. It was all very heartfelt with lots of attention to details, making it a very special day for the couple and their guests. Lots of barn boards, cowboy hats and good ole fashion family fun!

The ceremony was held at my aunt and uncles ranch, complete with animals and pets taking part in the ceremony. Wren made some pretty fabulous friends with all the pups.

All the guests sat on home made benches during the ceremony, which made it feel really open and easy to see all the action.

 

Dogs under some of the benches during the ceremony made for a couple giggles.

The reception was a blast, and basically a big family reunion! My favorite part was the cute barn board photo booth they had along with props for guests to take pictures in.

Wren was not digging the props at first but I took her in mid-cupcake. It garnered a few laughs and she was all about the photo booth after that!

We literally danced the whole night and had ourselves a grand old time. Definitely a night to remember.

Congratulations Jocelyn and Kyle!!

Things That Make Me Happy

{ homegrown snacks }

My Mom bought Wren a tomato plant at the start of the Summer and for the last few months Wren has been a wonderful little gardener. I am sad I can't enjoy the fruits of her labor with her (tomato allergy), but cherry tomatoes have become her go-to snack the past 3 weeks. 

{ a little good luck }

they say it takes 90% hard work and 10% good luck to be successful. If that's true than it doesn't hurt to have a horse shoe hanging around! Wren and I made this one as part of our wedding gift to my cousin Jocelyne and her new husband Kyle who got married this past weekend. It was especially fitting since the Bride came riding down the aisle on her horse, Ben!

 

{ the dollar store }

I hadn't been in a dollar store in years until just this past year when Wren developed an insatiable appetite for balloons. But they have some pretty amazing finds in there! Our next batch of cupcakes will be extra cute with these dollar store cupcake liners.

{ pencil crayons }

I am so happy to be transitioning out of crayons in our house!!! No more broken crayons, little shreds of paper from taking the wrappers off, etc. 

 

{ salt bowls }

These tiny little plates are so dainty and cute! I found the stack of them for a couple quarters and they make perfect little jewellery dishes. I haven't put much thought into other possible uses, but I have no doubt they will be spotted around the house in different ways.

These are just a few of the things making me smile today.

What is making you happy?
