Logic, overruled! The Case of the Invisible Ringbearer

 

Wow, six months. That means:

A) I survived the endless (and often pointless) researching of months fourteen through seven

B) People will stop saying "oh, October, that's so far away, have you done any planning yet?"- I never know how to respond to that - "um, yes, I am completely consumed with planning...?" - and will now switch to "oh, October, that's so soon, ...have you done any planning yet?" Sigh.

C) I'm out of middle-mark limbo and can begin wedding projects!

WOOT WOOT!

One wedding project that I'm not completely sure we need (as we aren't having a ring bearer) is a ring pillow. No ring bearer = no ring pillow, sounds logical enough.  But unfortunately logic stands little chance against:

Martha.

Linen ring pillow using vintage handkerchiefs (try ebay for the handkerchiefs, or a local flea market!)

Ribbon trim ring pillow

Cozy knitted ring pillow

Pretty eyelet and lace pillows

Silk flower ring pillow

Oh Martha. The things you do to my brain. If it weren't for you (and a slight case of housekeeping OCD), my pantry wouldn't be arranged by height and food group, the lids on my flour and grain jars wouldn't be hand-painted a lovely robin's egg blue, a handmade paper boxwood wreath wouldn't hang above our bed, and my dog wouldn't wear ribbons half as much. But he does, and I did, and I do love Martha - even after reading her scathing unofficial biography by Jerry Oppenheimer.

 

So, because I am completely brainwashed (in a lovely shade of hen's egg taupe), I am currently looking at making a ring pillow for a ring bearer that we do not have.

Maybe one of the junior bridesmaids could carry it? What do you think?
