My Seventeenth



This is me right now. Yes. I had eight teeth (yes, eight!) pulled on Wednesday. What do you think of my new chipmunk look? Days 2 and 3 following the surgery were the most painful. Glad to have that part over. But now I'm just so tired of being in bed. So today, at last having a bit more energy, I resolved to do something fun. And thus this post. But I couldn't resist sharing the pictures of myself. It's a sight to behold, I think. 

 This post features pictures of gifts I got for my seventeenth at the beginning of the month--September 1st, to be exact. :) Anyways, I was given lovely things, and wanted to share a few pictures with you all. 


Little spice jars...for anything!


Good reads to anticipate. 


This is a little pot whose shape and color delight me! Is it not adorable?



Antique candelabra. Gorgeous. 



Linen dress. Lovely and comfy. I'm SO in love. 




Glass water bottle! Been wanting one of these. :)


Earrings--adorable with any outfit. 


Lapus Lazuli ring from my Mama. 


Pearls. Nothing can beat their loveliness. 



Lanterns! I got seven of them. They create such a nice, cozy space. 


An antique fountain pen. So look forward to learning how to use it.

Spice Jars: World Market | Books: Antiques | Journal: Moleskine | Ceramic Pot: Antique 
Candelabra : Antique | Linen Dress: J. Jill | Glass Water Bottle: Life Factory | Earrings: World Market Ring: Antique | Earrings: Thrifted | Glass Lanterns: World Market | Fountain Pen: Antique

All in all, I was a very blessed lass on my seventeenth birthday!

Now, with my loss of teeth, I'm trying to fill my time. It often becomes a conglomeration of reading, Pinterest, and eating soups and smoothies. If you've got a favorite recipe, let me know! :)

xoxo, 
Madeleine

Constance's Wedding Dress


Earlier this summer I had the pleasure of photographing Constance in her handmade wedding dress. I wanted to share the photos with you all, as I am so in love with the design of the dress and the white-on-white embroidery.












I was a bridesmaid in her wedding on June 14th. It was a truly glorious event. Best wishes to Constance and Ruben!

Love,
Madeleine
