Although I adore Public, they didn't ship to Canada, so may I suggest Linus bikes? They're awesome and I love mine and they're much cheaper than a pashley.

Inexpensive Budget DIY Ideas For Outdoor Wedding Arbor?
Good Question

My cousin got married and my uncle made this for him http://i54.tinypic.com/25tzx8y.jpg (sorry about the bad picture, it was the best one I could find).

Anyways they used reclaimed wood and it was really simple to make, plus really cheap (my cousin was on a tight budget). My uncle is really good at carpentry, so if you aren't, I'd suggest a more basic arbor with strips of fabric, like so http://www.100layercake.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/100lc_WS_peachy.1.jpg.

Hope this helps!

@Velgal,

Cage free just means no cages. So maybe they don't have a cage but they can still be packed up so tight they don't have room to move around.

I would reccomend "Eating Animals" if you guys want to know more!

You know, it's quite easy to make them yourself. I have a surger, but you could always use bias tape. I found some plasticy/nylonish water resistant fabric for the inside, and I use fabric scraps for the outside. It's much cheaper! And you get to pick your own designs.
Just my two cents :).

I definitely agree with everything on the list except dishwashers, which are oftentimes more energy efficient than washing by hand!

I love my Clocky.
He rolls off my nightstand and hides after I press snooze (different place every time), and his alarm really wakes you up.
Of course, the searching for him while half-asleep may not work for everyone so you can turn that function off.

I had the same issue. I took off the glass bit to leave the exposed light and gold base, and then I covered that with a paper shade (I hung it upside down and you couldn't tell!). The shade has a shape that it's bigger at the top than the bottom so you couldn't see the ugly base.

Hey! I don't know what tande925 means about sourcing? I think you mean source how I found it, because that would be Tineye?

Anyways, that blog post was from last year and looking at the website it's sort of upscale stuff, so I'm thinking maybe it's a past collection. Maybe try Tineye yourself? It's in beta so you may get a result I didn't. Sorry, that's the best I can do.

It's Pheobe Howard

I did a Tineye image reverse search, found the image on another blog with the source, and the source is a furniture company, where your bed is made.
