invites, rings, outfits

i can hardly believe it's mid-july & the wedding is next month!  this week, a lot has happened:  my ring arrived (more later...i need to take pix!), we got a beautiful vintage ring for patty, picked out her outfit (our "non-green" splurge!), and FINALLY sent the invites to the printer.  i'm really hoping to have the envelopes this weekend so i can begin to address them!

i also got most of the backyard planted (with some help, of course), but more on that later!

the ring

ok, maybe i'm crazy, but i found the most amazing ring on ebay, bid on it, and won!  it seems so weird to buy a ring online, but it was so lovely...i can't wait to see it "for reals!"  i wanted diamonds with sapphires because patty's birthstone is a diamond (april) and my birthstone is sapphire (september).  i tried looking for a pink sapphire...but those are REALLY hard to find!  we also went to lots of vintage ring places, but the ones with diamonds & sapphires were priced a bit out of our league.  this one is 18k white gold...i should probably take it to a jeweler when i get it...it's from the 20's or 30's most likely, which is the time period i love...

what do you guys think?
