Gotta Bee Loved

Hola Chicas!

I want to give a shout out to a very special person and an awesome invitation designer, and my friend, Joann Sosa of Bee Loved Paper Designs. As some of you may know the love of my life has his own clothing line and for his birthday, I asked Joann to create a card that captured his style and personality and she nailed it! It was so awesome and he was totally shocked. Sorry my bb pictures don’t do it justice, but please believe this card was haute!

If you are looking for unparalleled custom invitations for your bridal shower, bridal luncheon, baby shower, birthday cards / invites etc., you have got to Bee Loved!

Container Store to the Rescue!


So!

I'm preparing for my May 15th wedding, and while I was checking off my to do list, I realized I still needed candy scoopers for the couples candy bar... Originally, I was supposed to pick them up from Michael's Arts & Craft's Store, but of course when I got there ... nobody knew what I was talking about :/

Naturally, I turn to Google and begin furiously typing and searching for a local retailer ... I did find that Oriental Trading had them the cheapest online but at this point I refused to pay $20.00 in shipping fees for something that was $3.99 :/ For crying out loud, I'm in NEW YORK CITY, somebody has to friggin sell these things! LOL

So after calling Dylan's Candy Bar, the M&M Store, NY Baking Distributors and about 6 other NYC baking/candy shops, all they had to offer me was ice cream scoopers ... I was about to have an I Scream moment lol. Finally, when I called the Hershey Store in Times Square, the gentlemen was nice enough to inform me that it was something that he thought I could get at the Container Store! That young man is a Genius!

So looked online and lo, & behold ... there they were!

Shop Happy Brides :) See what us planners go through for you LOL
