Awhile back, I posted some photos of the little favors we have for the smallest guests at our wedding.  When I shared our plan for the heart-shaped crayons, I hinted that we were also working on favors for the grown-up guests, too.  After weeks of waiting, I'm finally ready to share a peek with you...

I've mentioned, from time to time, the shop where I work, but I don't think I've told you about Bedrock Industries, where my partner-in-crime spends the bulk of his days.  Bedrock carries a lot of beautiful stuff--most of it made from recycled glass--but one of my favorite things has always been the little glass hearts they sell.  They might seem a little cliched, but I think they're beautiful.


And--lucky me!--I actually got to make some of them a few weekends ago.  Mostly, I followed my man around and did whatever he told me to.  "Crafting" together isn't really something we do much of--usually I'll craft near him and he'll offer an opinion now and then.  I really enjoyed working side-by-side.  I wasn't the only one, though, looking for his love and affection.


The process involved quite a few steps, and I kept thinking that I wasn't doing things quite right, but I guess it all turned out pretty well.





And now, we have beautiful little somethings for our guests to take home to remind them our of wedding day--and of our love and affection for them.
