Princess I''m in

with your sapphire!!! I think you should leave it as your e-ring and pair it with a beautiful diamond (or even sapphire) eternity w-band and you would have one of the most beautiful wedding sets I''ve ever seen!!!

I just think it looks amazing on your hand!!!

Congrats again on your wonderful engagement! Your thread has been so wonderful to read...I couldn''t be more happy for you!!!

 

[vita*dolce]

[PrincessDijon]

Thank you all for the sweet compliments! I actually took it out to play in our partly sunny weather today....

Congrats Princess Dijon! Your whole story was so sweet and well thought out! And the rings and watches are gorgeous! Good luck to you both!

What a wonderful story, Princess! I have been following it all summer now, and I am thrilled for the both of you that it has such a happy ending.

 

[PrincessDijon]

Thank you all!


The bummer part, I took my ring in today to be re-sized... They are keeping it for a week but it was spinning on my finger....

FI''s new e-ring will be here tomorrow (yay for correct sizes!)

 

[SeattleSweetheart]

Wowie Zowie! That is one gorgeous sapphire e-ring!

Congratulations on your engagement!

 

[PrincessDijon]

Good news...

SO''s ring came in this morning! I greeted the ups man in sweatpants....lol

Anyway, I woke him up, opened it and put it on him...YAY...

He keeps looking at it and playing with it. I still made him keep the original one I gave him for sentimental reasons...So, he''s going to hang it from the rear view mirror of one of his cars so that I am "watching over him" AWWWWWWW.... I thought that was sweet!

My ring won''t be re-sized til October 1st...boooooo.....

 

[PrincessDijon]

A quick snapshot of his new ring!

 

[PrincessDijon]

One more...it was quick, so not the greatest...but....oh well!

 

[OUpearlgirl]

You BOTH have gorgeous rings! Congratulations!!

 

[Sapphire_Cutie]

[PrincessDijon]

Hello all!
I noticed that I never posted my pottery pics from earlier last Sunday....(Woo hoo I''ve been engaged a week now...lol)

Anyway, the pottery shop finished glazing and firing our pottery so I will post before and after pics of our plates that we painted (actually they are chargers...but still....)



Here are the before glazing pics from last Sunday.....

 

[PrincessDijon]

Here's his after glazing....

 

[PrincessDijon]

Here''s mine after glazing!

 

[PrincessDijon]

Awwww boo, I can''t see them....

I will have to wait until FI gets home to take more pics since he picked them up on the way to work today and he''s still at work right now

 

[blondebunny]

awww boo... i was soo excited!! hehe, but they look awesome!! I want to take my BF now!! If u dont mind me asking, about how much does it cost to do something, kinda like what you did?? thanks@

 

[PrincessDijon]

The studio fee was 8.00, each charger was 18.00, that''s the only cost we paid. It includes unlimited access to paints, stencils sponges, ect.

 

[PrincessDijon]

Here is what the starting point looked like....

 

[PrincessDijon]

His starting point.....

 

[PrincessDijon]

This was the place we went to...excuse the crappy hair and "casualness"...it was fairly early when I woke up!!!

 

[PrincessDijon]

Oh and one more exciting bit before I leave this thread for good.....

I get my blue pretty back tomorrow from re-sizing!

Hopefully no more spinning on my left finger....

 

[PrincessDijon]
