Craigslist is back!

We all knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Today I made my first wedding-related purchase on Craigslist.


Aren't they pretty? For $50 I got 28 of these vintage blue glass Bell mason jars. I'll use them to make lanterns to hang or set on the tables. I'll probably put sand in the bottom and use votive wax candles or oil candles. If I get some sturdy wire we can hang them from a rope tied to a few trees. It will be pretty and practical, providing a lighted path for our guests when it gets dark.

I've spent the last few days reporting a story about "green" weddings. I'm a little "over it" at the moment, but when I find my positive attitude I'll post the article and a few links to some eco-friendly wedding websites. I don't know that we'll go so far as to hand out energy efficient light bulbs as favors, but Tyler and I will do our best to be green, too.
