New Blog: A Twin With Its Own Identity…

September 15, 2008

Bonjour Mes Cheries!

Great news for you on the days I may not post here on “Here Comes The Bride…”

I desperately needed a second blog to discuss all things non-wedding – so, now it exists!

Sometimes, you just arent hungry for wedding cake... I like to think of my new blog as a chance to eat a cupcake less fancy.

It’s also a great way to follow along with the two new Etsy shops I added: “Blush” by GaGaVida for my custom wedding veils, fascinators, jewelry, etc.  & “Gingercream” by GaGaVida for my handmade fashion & accessories line.

In fact, the new blog shares a name… just call it “Gingercream” as well!

I’d love to know what you think if you have the chance to stop by and visit… thanks!

XXOO –

GaGaVida!

PS… Don’t forget that you can always link to ALL GaGaVida sites, shops, blogs, etc. in one spot!  Just visit xxoogagavida.com to make life easier!

New Design… Holla! And Wedding Bands, Too!

April 17, 2008

I just wasn’t happy with the old version, so I changed the blog design up a bit. I think it’s more pleasing to the eye that previously designed… but, that’s just me. Your thoughts?

******************************************************************************

Furthermore, going very loosely from this topic of design to the next… we are currently buying our wedding bands!  And, where else would I go to find fantastic rings to choose from? Wedding bands from my favorite Etsy stores, of course!

We are having a custom design done for Josiah – and, it is a handmade combination of these two designs below… which, are from the fantastic Artisan Look shop on Etsy…

Aren’t these fantastic? They have three types of metal – yellow gold, rose gold, and silver… and, I love how they are so elegant, yet modern at the same time!

Now, on to my choice… I think I have it narrowed down to one, from the Etsy shop Shade Jewelry – it is a simple, yet thick, brushed titanium band – with a tiny diamond or aquamarine (my choice) embedded within the band, so that it does not stick out at all over the top! Here are a few pictures below, with subtle differences in options:

Okay – here is the deal with me kind of wanting a light blue stone instead of a typical diamond…

  1. My engagement ring, which was handed down from my Grandmother, already has a huge diamond that has a standard look (well, okay – it has a very cool marquis cut, however…)
  2. I like the idea of a blue stone, because it would be like continued “Good Luck” wearing my “something blue” every single day!
  3. That’s it – I just felt like this list needed at least 3 numbers…. sorry.

Let me know what you think of the rings – and, for sure go visit the stores that I linked above, so that you can see the whole inventory for both stores.  Who knows – you may find an Etsy wedding ring that you want as well!  :)
