calling boston photographers!

{each photo links to its shop}

my dear friend is eloping to boston this friday (!!) and i am *thrilled* to go join them as a witness. i would love to find an amazing boston photographer who might be persuaded to donate an hour of their afternoon this friday, july 17, in downtown boston, to photograph a tiny wedding of four low-key people.

i can offer a permanent text link on the blog, a post about the experience, plus a gift certificate for dinner. can you recommend anyone who might be interested and available? if so, kindly let me know by wednesday, etsywedding (at) gmail -- if you are a photographer, please include your website.

thanks so much, everyone!

wedding DIY contest, updates, et cetera

{ vanessa's pick: jacky earrings by loellamedina }

yesterday's etsy finds email, "my american gothic wedding", expands on vanessa + mickey's wedding posted last week, with vanessa delving into all the etsy details -- it is seriously wonderful. great ideas, and lots of etsy sellers to check out!

also, may be old news since i've been away but just in case, etsy and marthastewartweddings.com are running a great DIY wedding photo contest where you can submit photos of your wedding crafts. see the site to enter through september 1, 2009, or get more info and rules -- MSW is featuring the best photos online, and your craft might just get featured on martha's show.

also, check out the slideshow with marthastewartwedding.com's favorite etsy crafters. so much etsy love! here are links to a few also featured on etsy wedding: 5eizen, blanca monros gomez, the english dept. and enjibeck.

i just so happened across this great-sounding contest at hiphostess -- win four beautiful kiwi green pashmina shawls, enter by july 31.

finally, my disclaimer du jour: the day job is once again trying to swallow me, so please be patient with posting this week and next.

just for fun, here are some of the etsy crafters picked by marthastewartweddings.com:
