Happy Holidays Everyone

Just came outside from taking a few pics of our house in the snow we have been receiving for the past three days. I figured I would post one since it looks so festive.


Mr Corn and I are headed to PA for the holiday and then on to California for New Years. In order to travel more lightly, we opened up a lot of our Christmas presents tonight...one of my gifts was a web cam!! YAY!! So I am hoping to broadcast again sometime in the near future.

In Mr Corn's family, they have a tradition of giving ornaments to each family member that represent things that have happened throughout the year. This year I got this ornament:


What 'new' family traditions for the holidays will you be a part of this year?

Well, thank God it didn't rain!!

I am sure you have already heard about this wedding since it seems to have popped up on every news feed I read this morning. But just in case you didn't, the full story can be found here.



Jennifer Cannon and Doy Nichols were married in a public restroom in Times Square Yesterday. The bride wore a Hanah Kim dress made entirely of toilet paper, glue and tape.

Personally, the short dress that Mrs Onion and I fashioned in our webcast last week was MUCH MUCH better...not that I'm bitter or anything :)

Took me long enough...

...but I FINALLY took the shadow box that I used to make the Guest Book Wish Tree Sign and made a memory box of our invitation suite.

Here is the box just prior to our wedding...


And here it is now...


I have it in our dining room, on top of an etagere case that we purchased with some of our Crate and Barrel Registry gift cards after the wedding. I also re-purposed the jar that held the wish tags as an pseudo-atrium filled with some of the sand, shells and grass from the wedding. The whole display is finished off with one of the manzanita branchs that we used for the wish tree and some candles I had around the house.

Are any of you planning to incorporate any of your wedding decor into your home? Any suggestions/tips?

Hey there ladies! It was super fun to chat with y'all on Thursday and I had a BLAST meeting Mrs Bee and Mrs Onion. If you missed the highlights, you can find them by clicking on the calendar icon in the chat area of Bee TV. It really is a sight to see if I do say so myself :)


Annnnyway, a friend of mine sent me an email about a blog she reads written by a woman in NY who does hand written stationary and invitations. I headed to the site and the invites are G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!! I have no idea what the company is like; if they have exceptional service or what-not...but considering how much the site made me drool, I figured I had to give a shout-out on the Bee.

Here's a really fun wedding card that you could use for announcements or for Thank You's...



The company is based in NY and is called Citywrites and the owner, KJ, blogs over at KJ the DJ.




Some personalized stationary that you could get for your bridesmaids a-la Mrs. Onion...

Citywrites also does hand addressing of envelopes and seating cards!
Lastly, I just LOVE this note card set: "Questions for the chicken meeting:"



Do you have any off-the-radar finds to share with the Bee?

Comings and goings

Hey ladies!

I haven't posted in a while, but last night I got to thinking about how Mr Corn and I have been married for almost three months now and, as cliche as it sounds, it feels like the wedding was forever ago.

Part of that stems from the fact that we got married at the end of summer; just after Labor Day weekend, and then were in Italy until late September. Soon Fall came, and in typical New England fashion, we have snow on the ground and although it is still technically Fall, it looks awfully winteresque outside. In other words...we have experienced the best of three seasons in only three months.

Summer in Newport...

... Winter this morning.

Weather woes aside, even though the wedding seems to have been in the distant past, every once in a while I look over and literally think, "Holy shit, we're married! When did THAT happen?"

How long did it take for you to to settle in to your new marriage? If you aren't married yet, do you have any expectations on how long it will take you?
