Precious

What a cool fort for kids...


...Although I'm sure it wouldn't look this clean forever.

I. Hate. Colds.

But I don't hate these handkerchiefs...

What a Weekender

I just spotted these weekender bags from Made by Nanna, ranging from $39 to $46.  The designer lives in Arnhem (which, yes, I had to google map), but will ship to the U.S. for $18 - not bad for international shipping!


For the traveler (or geographically challenged).


A night out with the girls.

 
Garden club goer.

 
Everyday user.

 
Or sunscreen surrenderer.


There's something for everyone.

Mushi Sushi

I was eating some sushi


and drinking green tea

Not knowing the guy across the table


Would propose the next day


(and he's terrible at hiding things...terrible!)

Here it comes again...

snow.

yep, it's snowing again in Tennessee!  
Which only makes me want to:


Curl up in my oversized red floral chair
(it's not quite the color of my chair, but doesn't she look lovely?  
I've been watching this dress for months!)


Sip a cup of tea


Read a good book

 The Chronicles of Narnia

And watch it all come down







 
...have you read any good books lately?

Over the river and through the woods...

...to grandmother's house we go

I just about melted over these olive shorts Joanna Goddard posted today.
Don't you love how they scrunch and flair out at the top?


And then, I realized, they're the exact same color as the swimsuit 


I just bought: wood.

So, to go along with this woodsy theme, one of my favorites:
a mug (with a dogwood flower).


 And who knew Missouri and Virginia shared a state tree?










...ah, if only grandma lived in Palm Springs
but then again, she wouldn't be here...

First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage...

I was going to save this post for Monday, but it's too cute not to share now!

And besides, I haven't posted since Wednesday anyhow...and I told myself I wouldn't get behind!

1.  What do you all think of online save the dates?
I go back and forth
...but I think this one from Fresh Sugar Printables is precious



And, 2. The irresistable post that couldn't wait til Monday!

New Year Newsies

I just stumbled upon this website yesterday: Libby Story

Ever heard of it?  It's reminiscent of a small boutique, but can be broken up by apparel, vintage, recycled, shoes, or accessories in their online store.


These are my favorites.





And, depending on your style (or where you're going) these could be fun too!










...wandering, wandering
it's Wednesday

Hope that it comes true.
