Bridal Show!

It is that time of year again! The beautiful, wonderful time of year that zillions of brides gather in an organized chaos and attempt to plan their wedding in one day, by eating more cake and chocolate covered strawberries than one person should eat in a lifetime.



It's Bridal Show Season!



And for those of you getting married, yes, there is a season for everything, including Bridal Shows!



And we are there to guide you through the chaos of a bridal show, and help you with cans of "Yoo-Hoo, so you're getting married!" and "Stress Relief Pills"

So if we missed you on Sunday, at the Performing Arts Center, for the Gainesville Wedding Expo, we'll see you on September 12th, for The Florida Wedding Expo, at the University of Florida Hilton!



We'll be in-between Too Jay's (and you guys know how much I love me some Too-Jays, I wonder if they'll bring me a corned beef sammich?) and Dream Day Cakes!

Pencil Tip Art

So, I went to school with a kid that would fiddle with his pencils and make the tip into fun shapes... and so when I came across this, I thought of the that kid.

Yeah, that's right, he's carved the alphabet out of pencil tips! Not that kid I went to school with, but Brazilian born, Connecticut based, Dalton Ghetti carefully crafts the tips of pencils into amazing micro sculptures. These miniature masterpieces are a side project for the professional carpenter, who has been perfecting this art for the last 25 years. Dalton uses a razor blade, sewing needle, a sculpting knife, a steady hand and lots of patience to meticulously carve the graphite which can take anywhere between a few months to a few years. Over time he has broken many works in progress and keeps them in what he calls the cemetery collection. One of the most fascinating things about these tiny works of art is that he has never sold them, only given away to friends as gifts.
