Today was rainy and gorgeous and I finally did something new in my living room!  I used a new wire book shelf, new art pieces and other odds and ends to decorate a wall…all courtesy of thrift stores and recent garage sales.  I might finally be ready to start a house tour soon!  I can’t promise I will be able to show the entire house all at once(I can actually pretty much guarantee it won’t happen), but I think as I finish rooms, I will show them to you.  The new wall makes  me happy to look at and I can’t wait to show you!

To go with my pretty wall, here are some Etsy pretties I found today and am swooning over:

My mom sent me the link to this incredible wedding the other day.  I am literally re-posting almost every photo from the site because I couldn’t narrow down my favorites.  Once again, no – I am not getting married…but I am still compiling ideas for ‘someday’…and this wedding will FOR SURE be going in my folder.  I can’t even put into words my feelings on this…you just have to see for yourself:

I am honestly salivating over these gorgeous dresses!

Just for funsies, I’ve compiled some Etsy Picks that I think would be darling for a rainbow themed wedding.  Can you imagine how many cute ideas you could come up with outside of just Etsy too?!  Ahhhhhhh!….swoon.

(rainbow explosion cake pops by cocoa confections, edible butterflies from sugar robot, candy buttons by andie’s specialty sweets)

(vintage rainbow sandals from lady80vintage, flower girl tutu dress by the little pea, floral necklace by la romantica, child’s bowtie by littlevys, bouquet clutch by afropumpkin)

(vintage polaroid one-step camera from letter kay, confetti eggs by jokey yokey, confetti garland by kristina marie, vintage mason jar solar lights by used and abused, paper straws from sweet estelle’s, wooden cake topper by star house)

You’re in love right?!

If I were to actually do a rainbow themed wedding, I would DEFINITELY have polaroid one-step cameras at each table with film…kinda in love with this idea actually. 

Love,

Stormie Dae

Happy Monday dear readers!  The birds are singing and today is a beautiful Spring day – or at least it is for us and we hope it is the same for you as well!  This year has flown by and we (the sisterly team of MayDae) are still surprised that May 1st is fastly upon us already.

Although it is not our namesake, when we were younger our mom homeschooled us for a few years and during that time, we would participate in the Celtic festivities of celebrating May Day.  For us, it consisted of taking the little plastic strawberry baskets – decorating them, filling them with flowers and/or candy and placing them on a neighbors front door – at which point you would knock or ring the bell and run away.  This is something we always enjoyed and we wish it was a fun little activity that kids still participated in but it seems to be dwindling more and more in popularity.

In any case, we thought this year we would contribute to keeping the traditions alive by posting our Etsy picks this week to reflect May Day fun.  We hope you enjoy them, and happy almost-May to you!

Stephanie May’s Etsy Picks:

(Flower head piece by Which Goose,  moss covered bunting from Flora Bond, white month of may necklace from Love Little Darling, green tie by VKnit, bird nest ring from Oliver Wave)

Stormie Dae’s Etsy Picks:

(May flowers vintage dress from Vera Vague, Scandinavian wall hanging from Vakvar, Cake bunting by Vintage Green Limited, Natural vine crown by Which Goose, Vintage berry baskets from Over the Moon Vintage)

Hip hip hooray for another Monday!  Last week was a busy one for us, and we are drinking lots of coffee to try and stay ahead of the game….or at least trail closely behind.  We made lots of new listings in our MayDae shop, so head over and take a look – they are pretty cute, and we hope that you like them too!

This week we looked through many many Etsy shops to find some really beautiful items – all in the color of lavender.  A special thanks to all of these Etsy sellers, they are pretty amazing.  Enjoy!

May’s Etsy Picks:

(floral dress from Closet Case Vintage, vintage crochet and wood shoes from Passion Flower Vintage, lavender lace tea cup by Flower Vintage, “May” photograph by Erin Tyner, lavender dress from Bread and Roses)

Stormie Dae’s Etsy Picks:

Mondays mean early mornings, work, the daily grind, downing enough coffee to fill a swimming pool, and…..Etsy picks!  We (the sisterly team of MayDae) like to give you a little something to look forward to as you head back into job land.  Even though it’s still a few weeks away, it’s never too early to start thinking about Easter fun – and we can’t wait to have us some deviled eggs – although I think as children we called them “angeled eggs” for Easter…it seemed more appropriate.

We hope you enjoy this week’s Etsy picks which are all about Easter!

This week’s Etsy Picks are very near and dear to our hearts – because we (the sisterly team of MayDae) LOVE tea and parties, and most definitely, tea parties.  All of these items have been lovingly picked for your viewing pleasure, and we think we found a pretty incredible collection of Tea Party inspired items.  Hope you like!

In honor of moving into my new home, we (the sisterly team of MayDae) are bringing you the best in living room decor from Etsy this week.  I never realized how similar our taste in decor was until I saw Stephanie May’s picks compared to mine…one of which is exactly the same:)  Enjoy these fantastic living room finds and make sure to check back over the next few weeks as I’m sure we’ll be showering you with lots of photos from my new house!
