After visiting the Angevine farm on the 11th, we decided to go exploring the area in and around Kent and Litchfield a bit more.
This past Sunday, Melissa and I packed into the car for a day trip back to Connecticut. With no specific destination, we went to a few antique markets with the possibility of sparking ideas for wedding decor on a local level among other interesting things...
I caught Melissa off-guard a bit when my jaw dropped looking at this thing photographed below. Mermaid doesn't leave much to the imagination. Kinda looks like a figurehead from an old ship. I say pirate ship. Probably not though. Funny because we were just talking about crows nest, a location at Montauk we had considered, and of course, we met at a Pirate Karaoke joint.
We both liked how comfortable this couch was. It was sitting a bit lonely in one of the flea markets we went to, so we joined it for some downtime and sat on its face.
Unlike the figurehead, the couch was important as it reiterated our shared sentiment that the Wedding be casual and comfortable, perhaps even featuring a relaxing nook for people to sit and hang out.
We currently have a big folding table semi-established in the vestibule. Melissa picked out a really cute picnic cloth at a garage sale to place over it which looks great. Melissa currently has her typewriter on it, although this below may be a viable solution with some modification to length. Utility and space is everything right now. At our apartment here in Scarsdale, we're using the walls and going vertical as much as possible. With consideration of many wedding items to be on hold until next year, it's important we think of solutions on short space. This is kinda sweet because it has a few mail slots to organize.
This was a start to our journey toward CT. We have love, we enjoy intrigue, we found comfort, and considering utility helps too.
I just realized it's about time to take some photographs of the apartment here. It's our nest and we'd love to share it soon.
