The Wedding March - 1950 - Lace Loveliness

This group includes a rare groom sighting. Those guys weren't very important in the overall scheme of things. Back then it was all about her, the dress and the cake.
(Let's forget about Bridezillas, Say Yes To The Dress, and all those Cake shows- we've come a long way baby.)

South Carolina!!!

To my favorite readers. You better be stoked because May first I'm starting something so AMAZING you'll all want in. So totally excited. But it's a secret... and I am NOT telling you!

The Wedding March - 1950 - Satin and Lace

I'm back with a charming look at "The Wedding March" -"A Guide for the California Bride", published in 1950 and sent out to brides-to-be "upon announcement of engagement in Southern California". It's a large glossy magazine all in black and white, but it gives us a glimpse of the lush gowns these gals had to choose from.

More to come....

Bird Nests!

I found this really great idea over at All Things Heart And Home.  Have you ever had no-bake cookies?  Because they're my favorite.  They take five minutes to make, and are so scrumptious.  Oh my goodness.  Her recipe is a little bit different than mine... she's added peanut butter and butterscotch to her cookies.  I'm kind of a plain girl so here is my recipe just in case you are too!

Chocolate Rolled Oat Clusters

Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 T unsweetened chocolate
pinch of salt

Combine: sugar, milk, butter and salt.  Stir and bring to a full boil for one minute.  Remove from heat and add: vanilla and chocolate.  Stir till smooth.  Add oats and mix well.  Drop by spoonfulls onto wax paper.  Let cool.

So YUMMY!  I make these almost every Sunday!  :-)  So much for my weight loss goals! ha ha!!
