Weddings and Courtships

Today Show Wedding 2008

The origami cranes you see on the set are made by me!! Bob and I just drove them out to New York City today and got to see the set being constructed. It then rained after we left - I hope the little cranes held up well!

Bridal Trousseau / Hope Chest
It's never to late to create your own trousseau! This can be a simple storage box, or a more fancy, carved wooden box for the foot of your bed or under the window of your living room. The key with a trousseau is that it is added to slowly, one item at a time.

The Bridal Trousseau / Hope Chest

I am almost done with my Weddings & Courtships - Native Americans book! The problem is there are SO many tribes, and I want to make sure I fully cover as many as I can. At this point I am going to try to provide a very complete bibliography and just let people know up front that the book was going to be 1,000 pages if I kept going :) There is always more to learn!

I know many of you are waiting for this one so I'll let you know when it's set!

Forward this along to a friend, and share the knowledge!
