Westervin Wedding Logo

We’ve done it. We’ve gone corporate. Well, not exactly, but we do have a logo! It’s pretty great, incorporating both the cliché “two become one” concept and a W / E weathervane metaphor — something for everyone. I mean, it’s got an arrow. Southwest trend: check.

Brian and I recently received a lovely email from a Westervin reader who introduced us to her Etsy shop, Cagebreak Bird. Not only was it nice to get an email from a sweet e-friend, but her work also put a smile on my face. The delicate beadwork and abstract designs of her jewelry are really beautiful! I think the Rima Pearl and Silver necklace (pictured above) would make such a delightful anniversary present… Don’t you think (*cough cough*… Brian)? But here’s the real kicker folks: this talented jewelry designer’s name is Farah Fitzgerald. I mean, get outta town! That’s a combination of my alter ego’s name (Farah Mervin, which I was dubbed freshman year by my BFFsties Megan & Grace.) and our new kitty’s name (Fitzgerald P. Cat). It’s fate.
