Wedding Wednesday: Personalized Stamps

Etsy artist, Kozue, is amazing! If you send her a photo, she'll turn it into a drawing. After you approve the drawing, she'll hand carve the image and turn it into a stamp. They are perfect for wedding announcements, invitations, and thank you cards!

Elsie, from A Beautiful Mess, plans to use her stamp for stationary and thank you notes. ♥

We swoon over wedding details like this. How will you personalize your wedding?

Let us make the flowers our bed, and the
Sky our blanket, and rest our heads together
Upon pillows of soft hay. 

Let us relax after the day's toil, and listen
To the provoking murmur of the brook.

My perfect serene moment.... a white crochet hammock between two weeping willow trees next to a lake, a slight cool breeze that lightly swing a dainty windchime for some sound along with the leaves blowing softly through the air, and me wearing the “met you by chance striped tank” and “flowers of the field floral skirt” with the “inner beauty indie flower hairclip” in my hair, while napping with my two beautiful baby boys; my oldest tucked under my arm and my little one sound asleep on my chest....what a dream come true!
