Wedding Chapel Three. Maryland







The third 'chapel' happens to be an attempt to replicate the actual building, in a vineyard, where the reception was held. It is a beautiful old stone farm building, with a loft space for parties and weddings and such.

This invitation was handmade by the couple, with loads of patience, creativity, and joy, it seems. They used small strips of colorful illustrations from magazines and other sources to create obi-wrapped bundles of paper. The colors they selected evoked the Tuscany-like place they had their ceremony; and were a great contrast with the naive austerity of the printed invitation.

Great imagination to meet a tight budget, and perfect materials for a tinybuilding.

Hi there Sharon! I found your blog from the threepotatofourshop blog. I love the tiny buildings and the fact that you are continuing the tradition and really connecting these with memories and events. What a great thing to do!

I was quite surprised to find a Boordy building!! I used to work there during college with my sister and know that barn well.

I've posted a link to your blog and the Boordy building on my blog:

Cheers,
