The Toad Gets Hitched and Discovers the Wonders of Lost Crates

Wedding site: The Silver Lake Meadow
So, the Toad went and got herself married last weekend. It went swimmingly and was very easy. I credit our great friend Sue Ann Jewers (who does fantastic hair in L.A.) for doing all the hair, officiating the ceremony, making the huge paper flower I carried, designing and crafting the veils, and just being incredibly supportive. It wasn't conventional, but it sure was fun.

And speaking of fun, I happened upon an excellent wedding gift idea: Lost Crates. Lost Crates is a subscription service of one crate monthly filled with choices from categories like Housewares, or Design, or even stationery. It's a brilliant concept because it gives the happy couple a lovely little surprise for a few months. It's also an excellent way to support artists and small businesses. And it beats the hell out of Williams Sonoma; don't you have enough marinade and frying pans by now?

Take a look at Lost Crates, and enjoy the wedding pic. Read more about Sue Ann (including contact info) here.
