etsy love: CreativeSpiritGlass

After a relatively quiet summer, wedding season has been on full blast this last month. Jen’s wedding was on August 5th, we had a family wedding the following weekend, and next weekend will be my college friend Sayee’s wedding in metro Detroit.

While I’m all about sticking to the registry when it comes to wedding and shower gifts, I’ve also enjoyed finding opportunities to give couples a timeless gift that will always remind them of their wedding day.

A favorite Etsy shop I’ve discovered is Anne Malone’s CreativeSpiritGlass. Anne is from Greenwich, Connecticut, and her shop is filled with beautiful stained glass art pieces, jewelry boxes, and sun catchers. Anne also creates custom-designed frames and keepsake boxes using invitations.

A few years ago, I found her shop when I was looking for something special to give my friend Adrienne for her wedding. Adrienne’s invitation was so beautiful, and Anne was able to create a custom stained glass frame with dried pressed flowers. It made me so happy to see the gift hanging in Adrienne and Jon’s bedroom at their Chicago apartment.

When I received Sayee’s invitation earlier this summer, it was so unique and ornate that I thought it would make for another beautiful gift in Anne’s creative hands. I contacted Anne through her Etsy shop and we decided on one of Anne’s keepsake box designs. She was very open to working with the different elements of Sayee’s invitation in order to make the perfect gift.

In the matter of about a week, Anne sent me photos of the finished product and it turned out wonderfully.

I love her work because every piece is unique, just like every wedding invitation. Anne sent Sayee and Scott the box directly to their home, and it sounded like they were both very happy with it.

If you’re also in the middle of wedding season, or need an idea for a wedding or anniversary gift in the future, Anne Malone’s CreativeSpiritGlass is simply wonderful!
