Black & White Damask with Yellow Wedding Theme
Your Invited...
(to join me as I drool over these ideas for a black and white damask wedding with pops of yellow)
I'm loving this cake because the formality of the damask takes a back seat to some black and white polka dots and a huge flower that add a hint of playfulness.
This idea board has so many wonderful things, I'm not sure where to begin...
Top Left:
These invitations are to die for! The modern flower design, is simple, yet powerful...and not too dark for a wedding invite (making this wedding classy, but not landing it in the evening-wedding-only category.)
Top Right:
Chandeliers...need I say more?
Bottom Middle:
I love how this cake looks like the decorator took a piece of lace from an old wedding dress to recreate an edible design. It's also perfectly paired with a black milk glass stand, which is really just as good as the icing on the cake :-)
Bottom Right:
This adorable black and white damask clutch has great shape, and could likely be used for a night on the town even after she says "I do". With a satin yellow bow and rhinestone/crystal brooch to add to the fancy factor, this little bag is ready to be stuffed with tissues and lipstick.
This next photo is for the boys.
Want your wedding photos to stand out from the crowd?
Try mixing it up with a patterned necktie!
With mustaches being all the craze, think about easing wedding day jitters by adding a little humor to your day via mustache on stick!
And for the ladies...
Your shoes typically aren't seen too much on your big day, so why not have fun with them?
Go for a bit of a surprise when your new groom goes to slip off your garter.
While we are on the subject of accessories...
Might I suggest, The Little Black Book as a perfect complement to your theme?
Another fun way to add interest to your wedding day photos, while saying thank you to your bridal party! You can find these, and many more for your big day in the shop at
I saw this tablescape and instantly fell in love.
I love how they have made a dramatic statement while keeping in fresh and airy.
Thanks for taking that little journey with me.
Even though I've already had my wedding day,
I still find so much joy in others'.

Guest Post on Thrifty Living
Today's guest post on Thrifty Living comes from a very special source.
Meet Darcie.
I talk about her often on this blog, and if we've met at a local show, you have almost definitely met her as well. She is fun, hard working, and has a heart the size of Texas.
She is my baby sister.
After finishing her Undergrad degree at OSU, she has been working as a CNA at the hospital, while taking classes to prepare for nursing school. The big news came this past week with a late morning phone call from Darcie, "Lin, I got in!"
She did it. She got into the nursing program she was hoping for.
Chills covered my body, as I fought back the tears of pride and joy in my little sister.
Just yesterday, she read one of her scholarship essays to me.
By the end of the short and sweet 500 word ditty, I found that the corners of my mouth were turned up in delight. She had produced an entertaining read on a topic that has become a way of life for this stay-at-home mom...making me proud yet again.
Without further ado,
Darcie Rabun on Thrifty Living
During my time
at Oregon State University where I earned my undergraduate degree in Human
Development and Family Science I also learned the science, importance and sheer
thrill of penny pinching. It was during
these college days that I held down a position at a local feed store, assisting
the community of self-appointed bird and wildlife animal conservationists with
all of their bird seed and squirrel feed questions and concerns. The money I earned working 20-30 hours every
week helped pay groceries and rent for my modest apartment I shared with 2
other girls. I had a vehicle to drive, however
the old Toyota with 300,000 miles was saved for lengthy trips, so the majority
of the time I opted to hit the pavement, saving money on gasoline. It wasn’t uncommon to walk 20 minutes to
campus then another 20 to work, equaling a grand total of 40 minutes hoofing it
home, usually in squishy water logged shoes thanks to a typical Oregon rain
storm. Over the summer months I was a
bona fide poop scooper for local horse stables, which earned me cash that I put
towards paying for school tuition and used during the school year. By the time I graduated from college I was
catering to over ten barns by feeding horses and cleaning stalls.
Today, I am
still nurturing my thriftiness but I am doing it bigger and better. As I am about to start nursing school in the
fall I have adopted many great methods of saving money. The most impressive gesture I have made yet in
the name of saving money is living in a barn.
My husband and I have seized the opportunity to live rent free in an old
barn on my parent’s property. We have successfully
converted the old space into a cozy, semi drafty dwelling, with only the
occasional uninvited bat, spider and mouse. (Although that takes the guess work
out of what’s for dinner that night, another money saving tip.) We utilized
yard sale finds and Goodwill treasures to furnish our abode for dirt cheap. I physically cannot pay full price for
something, my stomach begins to churn and I get clammy all over. I treat this self-diagnosed physiological
disorder by shopping at brilliant places like Ross Dress for Less, TJ Max and
second-hand stores. I have no mercy in
the game of saving money, not even on my beloved tresses, so I have implemented
the practice of minimal hair washing, usually every 3-6 days, and in turn my
long locks are healthier for it and I save a great deal on shampoo and
conditioner, although my husband can and does enforce the sniff test and
informs me if my hair is due for a washing.
Along with these efforts I have bought a new cell phone for one cent,
which does not have internet capability, I put water in my mascara to make it
last longer and I line dry my clothes.

It's Derby Day
Howdy Ya'll!
I'm back from the wonderful state of Texas, and while I wish I were in Kentucky to watch the most exciting two minutes in sports in person, I am going to suffice for a date with NBC and a homemade cocktail.
Just in case you too would like to enjoy the official drink of the Kentucky Derby,
I am sharing a how-to video for the famous Mint Julep.
Bottoms Up!
As I had mentioned in this previous post, I'm laying my money down on I'll Have Another!
If you want to check out the contestants in today's big race, you can head on over to the Official Kentucky Derby Horses page.
On another super cool note...
The TFD Signature Cowgirl Canteen was on TV!
Yes, real, live, Television!
You can watch the Kings of Swag as they show off this year's
Celebrity Gift Bag by clicking on the link below:
I know it's a baby step,
but it's enough to make me smile!
Enjoy the Race.
Cheers,
from The Farrier's Daughter
