Our unique wedding list...

We are getting married on 4th April 2009 and we are really looking forward to seeing you on the day.

We would love to finish our house and add a few special touches. As you may know we love art deco and "previously loved" things with character and charm. We often buy from ebay, auctions, charity shops,unusual websites and flea markets.

We have therefore given you a few ideas of things we would be really grateful to receive. Some items are readily available, whilst some may require a little more searching!

1. Browse the site and find something you/ we fancy!
2. Please reply to the item if you would like to "source" it for us, so other guests are aware. Some items are "multiple"...but obviously you don't have to get the total number (1 picture frame rather than 20!)
3. Click on the heading and then the comment box will appear underneath the item.
4. Please leave us a message, either with your name (click "name/URL" on the drop down menu) or anonymously (click "anonymously").
5. When something has "gone", i will make the post red - for future easy browsing!

For an example, of this working smoothly please see the post called "Testing, Testing....1,2,3"

Thank you...

Veggies and Salad for our Garden - £36.99

We would like some vegetables and salad plants for our "garden"....so if we win the battle with the snails, we can have home grown (and cheap) veggies this summer.

www.rocketgardens.co.uk sends you ready started plants so you have more chance of success. (or your snails are fed well from day 1!)

The Patio Container garden has toms, lettuce, rocket, peas, beans, strawberries etc.....or if you have green fingers you can start them for us !

Material for our door curtain -£?

Stoods and i need another trip to a Peter Jones to decide on the exact fabric... but we are leaning towards dark, patterned, velvet...

don't panic GP - it won't touch you when you come through the door...due to the nifty portiere (see previous post)!

Some John Lewis vouchers for the material, lining, heading tape and cotton will get Thelbridge Curtains and Blinds started!

Georg Jensen sugar bowl - £36

sugar and spice and all things nice....

this is in john lewis and the lovely Georg Jensen shop on Bond Street

Georg Jensen teapot - £126

more tea vicar?...!

this is a gorgeous design classic by Georg Jensen. It is in John Lewis and also the GJ shop on Bond Street.

Portiere for the Front Door - £56

i have learnt a new word today...

portiere = special curtain pole made for the back of a door...

Our front door is quite drafty and a gorgeous dark velvet curtain will look great.

we would like a "self-closing" portiere from jim-lawerence.co.uk in the polished finish with glass finial (code:686L) with a length of 97cm.
(14 curtain rings would also be great, if possible)
