Day Three.

It's Tuesday! Tuesday should technically be day four but I totally brain farted last night and neglected stripping. I put one on my top teeth this morning while I was getting ready for work. I will double up top/bottom tonight while watching LOST. So far, I am really happy with this product. I am already starting to notice a difference with my teeth and I only have some slight sensitivity immediately after removing the strips. I avoid antagonizing this tenderness by using warm water to rinse as opposed to cold.

Steve and I did not find what we were looking for on Sunday. He is applying for a new job and had to spend 85% of the day working on his portfolio; I managed to get him out of the house for an hour or so. I was hopeful but the venture proved to be fruitless. For the record, this is what we're looking for: These are going to be the 'vases' for our center pieces. After spending two hours with our florist (Jane) and coming to a lot of great conclusions, Steve and I both kept poo-pooing the standard glass square/bowl that typically holds lower arrangements. We're both very shabby-chic, vintage inspired, created by Brooklyn, type people and the cookie-cutter flower holders weren't lighting our fire. Jane had a cut glass bowl on her shelving and I said, 'Couldn't we do something like that?' She had never worked with such a vase - but that doesn't mean she wasn't excited about the idea of using them!

We're never going to be able to find twenty of the same bowl and that's half the fun of it. As long as they are vaguely the same size and shape, I think it will work out splendidly. I don't even care if they are all clear. These bowls - I'm sure you've seen them in your mom's garage? Come in blues, greens, clears, etc. Since our colors are navy and orange with yellow and green accents - whatever color the bowl is can be heavier in its complementary color. No two center pieces will be exactly alike! Jane has done this before and showed me the end result:
She is just so talented. I never thought I could ever be so excited about flowers. To me, the best part of this all is Steve and I have a year and a half to hunt and find the twenty perfect cut glass bowls for our Wedding. We figure we will just scout out flea markets, second hand shops, tag sales, etc. Jane is kind of enough to allow us to periodically drop the bowls off at her studio so that tragedy does not befall them in our apartment.
