Newport Wedding

Welcome to the new and improved Fidget Finds Blog! I updated the layout a bit and added a new header and footer. Hopefully you'll find the sight as aesthetically pleasing as I do. Putting together the new pad is coming along slowly, but things are definitely getting done. One thing is for sure though, I absolutely love living here. I can't wait to show you photos when everything is finished getting set up. Stay tuned!

These photos are from the final wedding of the summer, number four for me and five for Brian. This wedding was for one of his childhood friends and it was held at the Officer's Club at the Navy Base in Newport. The location was just wonderful. It's on the water right near the Newport Bridge and the sunset was magnificent. The dress I wore is very special to me. My next door neighbor gave it to me a while ago and I hadn't had the occasion to wear it. It was her aunt's and it's from the 1940's. For that age it's in really great shape and it fits me perfectly. It has a sorta blousy top and a more fitted pencil skirt with two black lace trimmed ruffles cascading down the front. I was so happy to wear something so old. I modernized it a bit my wearing strappy thrifted sandals and layering on vintage silver rings and bracelets.

Moving Madness

Howdy strangers! How have you been? I have been crazycrazy as Brian and I just moved into an apartment in downtown Bristol last weekend! We were going to wait until October but we just found a place that we loved so much that we decided to move a month earlier. I am so excited to get settled in our new home but moving is just the worst. It takes so long to pack and even longer to get everything set up and situated. I have so many things to show you and talk about, but no time right now. Expect many more blog posts in the near future and more regular etsy shop updates when market season begins to wind down. Until then, catch me at SOWA this Sunday from 10-4. Hope to see you soon!
