House of Hsueh Clutches: Great Accessories, Great Gifts

One thing that many brides are thinking about is what to get their bridesmaids as a thank you gift. For me, the choice was pretty easy. The first thing I thought of were House of Hsueh bags. Hand-made by Toronto-based designer, Benita Hsueh, they are very versatile and can be used as small purses or as make-up bags. They come in different styles - clutches (two sizes) and circle bags with handles and are available in many different styles. In addition to bags, House of Hsueh has also produced jewellery, such as earrings and brooches. All pieces are as enviromentally conscious and yes, unique.

The bags are currently available for sale at stores such as The Fashion District, Distill Gallery and With Love Gifts. Bags are also available for custom order. Price, on average, is around $40-50.

OMG! It's WEDDING WEEK!!!

In less than a week, I'll be married!  Yes, that's right.  My wedding is THIS SATURDAY.  Everything is pretty much done.  I just have to chill for the next few days and, of course, pray for good weather!

I'll post pictures soon.

It's coming up!!!!

So my dress has been picked up (nope, no pics until AFTER the ceremony), the cake and flower deposits paid and things are pretty much set to go. Just a little over 2 weeks until the BIG DAY!  One little frustration I have is that we still don't have an official DJ assignment.  I have spoken with the DJ company and they have a rough idea of who they're going to assign to us, but I'll have to bug them again this week to see if there are any updates.  We also need to confirm our table arrangements with the venue (will send them an email later this week/early next).  Geez, lots to do!
