I have been recently inducted into the magical, addictive world of Etsy— “your place to buy and sell all things handmade.” Why, yes, it is my place, thank you! Nicole introduced me to it while she was planning her wedding, and it’s apparently the new hotspot for hip (and hipster) brides to find creative, fabulous wedding accessories, decorations, invitations and pretty much anything else that can be stitched, beaded or tie-dyed. It’s awesome! It makes me want to buy an old loft with Brian and fix it up with silkscreened prints and refurbished furniture like these people.

Nicole found this awesome guestbook from Etsy artist lmoss that would be perfect with our carnival theme (“Carnies. Circus Folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands.”):

Oooh, pretty.  This one is small (5.5 x 4.25) with inner pages made of colorful index cards, but the great thing about an independent artisan is that she can make one customized to our specifications. I’m thinking an 8×10 horizontal book with ivory linen pages. I’m also thinking our guests should write all messages in the form of haikus or limericks (or perhaps caricatures for those good draw-ers). Whatchya think?
