Goddesses in the Dust: Getting Ready for a Wedding
An archaeologist unearths the divine feminine, one archetype at a time...
My daughter is getting married in a few days, and for a few hours this weekend my best friends gathered to put together a favor for each guest
Start with tiny mason jars
Put your husband to work cleaning them out
Buy a ton of light and dark purple M&Ms (purple and silver grey are my daughter's colors for the wedding)
Fill each jar in a parfait of light to dark purple candies
Apply a tiny sticker with the couple's names (yes, some ended up being crooked - I'm no perfectionist!)
Tie each one with purple ribbon
And enjoy, enjoy, enjoy being with friends.....it's amazing what a group of women (and one man!) can accomplish in five hours! Many hands make light work and lots more fun...
Only 5 days to go and lots left to do.........

ReplyDelete5 days Mama!!! How exciting.
ReplyDeleteI love them Amanda. At first glance I was thinking, what's she got rocks in there? Purple rocks? You would think I could just move on down the page but no I've got to speculate and analyze the whole thing first.
Weddings are one of the best things in the world. Next comes....
Oh, how darling! Congratulations!
