Registry!

We don't really need stuff for inside our home. We've been out one our own for years now, so we've taken care of that stuff. That said, we would like, one day, to own a place to put all our stuff (and maybe even progeny!)

So, here's the plan for our registry. We would like to have our guests to sponsor a section of the down payment on our future place, should they want to get us all swollen-headed with the compliment. For instance, maybe you'd like to put a down payment on the kitchen cupboards, or the floor, or maybe a window or two. You can send us an email (to erinandbrenden@gmail.com) with which part you'd like to sponsor and we'll update this post with what's been claimed every week or so. Next, we'd love it if you could find (or make!) a picture, preferably smallish (less than 6"x6") picture of the part you're sponsoring. At the wedding, we'd like if you could just tuck that in with your card and gift. Then we'll be able make a big wild house collage or album (to be determined!) from the pictures with a key to figuring out how you all helped up put it together!
