A lot of people spent their Memorial Day Weekends at the lake, at the pool or on a mini-vacation. We, on the other hand, spent ours shopping. I know that a lot of you are wondering how I could possibly get J to shop with me ALL weekend, but I must say that he was a really good sport about the whole weekend.
We had two goals for the weekend. The top goal was to find as many teapots as we could for $5 or less. The secondary goal was to find outfits for the engagement pics that are coming up in July.
We scoured Goodwill stores, thrift stores, antique stores and any other location that we thought would provide cheap teapots. In case you haven't been a regular reader, these teapots are going to be used as the centerpieces on all of the tables. We found 11 in all, which is a pretty good number for one weekend. My mom has 10 so far at her house which means we are over half way to our goal, which we currently think is about 40 teapots when you include all the tables that will need the decoration.
Despite the fact that we went all over the metroplex finding teapots, it was not as difficult as the search for the engagement picture outfits. I had an idea of what we would wear when we started, but that idea was worthless because it bears no resemblance to the final outfits.
There is a lot of pressure in picking out these outfits! You only have one shot to make the engagement pics look good. We have three locations and three outfits and we are not the "matching couple" type, but I don't want us to clash either. So I think we have it figured out, and the outfits include some polka dots, some stripes, some fantastic shoes and most important... the clothes that are going in the lake!
One more side note... the wedding shoes are here and they are FABULOUS!!!
