I came across Night Owl Paper Goods while I was planning my wedding. I saw they offered wood invitations and save the dates and I fell in love. Unfortunately, I we couldn’t afford them but I still plan to use that idea for something in the future. As I took a look around their shop I just couldn’t resist smiling at all the cute and unique items they sell. I just had to make them shop of the month. They rule!

Super crafty team, Alan Henderson and Jennifer Tatham, show their love for handmade goods, the earth and folk art through the design of their website as well as all the items they offer. They have been featured in numerous publications like Everyday with Rachael Ray and Cottage Living as well as the Today Show. Their unique goods can be found in hundreds of stores. I can see why!

Here are a few of my absolute loves from their shop.

There are so many things one has to think about and plan when getting married. Between the kind of event you will have to all the many details that are involved, you could seriously drive yourself crazy! Its great there are so many resources out there for information and inspiration but sometimes that could make it more difficult. Too many choices can be overwhelming.

Well, since I am a big fan of Etsy and have a shop on there myself, I wanted to write a post about their Weddings and Registry section. I swear, this is one of the best things to come along since Martha Stewart Weddings! If you love unique handmade goods and live an indie lifestyle, than Etsy is right up your alley. Not only can you find amazing and beautiful items and accessories, you will be supporting artists who love what they do instead of large companies who certainly don’t need it.

Etsy Weddings has everything organized to perfection. From paper goods and decor to dresses, rings and accessories, you will find it all here with ease. Everything you need in one place! Even outfits and accessories for your wedding party. Just when you thought that was enough, there are plenty of blogs, stories, advice and real weddings you can read about. This is the placce to be when planning a wedding.

The Etsy Registry is so easy to navigate. All you have to do is sign up and pick the items you love. How much fun! I wanted to share some of my favorite finds from each of the categories. I hope you can all get some inspiration from them or even purchase a few for yourself or a friend. Here we go!
