it has potential


Still searching for the perfect wall calender as it is one of my goals to actually put one up before November this year. This one is by Oven Door Owl spotted on Design*Sponge. 

Also, a little home decor inspiration.

random acts of etsy


Poking through shops suggested to me by etsy, I came across Leanne Marshall (aka Leanimal) from Project Runway. One of my top 5 contestants of all time (keeping in mind I haven't had cable in several years). I can't tell if I'm happy that she's still creating handmade and selling to individual buyers on etsy or sad that she hasn't made it further since winning Project Runway. In any case, I enjoyed seeing her designs again and look forward to keeping tabs.

Why are all the planners that I fall in love with unavailable?

The latest...

This year I will

1) Move into the new house!

2) Marry this man
HIP_296917630.682237

3) Go on once monthly date nights/days, take advantage of the many activities so close to home (visit museums in DC, historical sites in VA, beaches, mountains, etc)

4) Actually list something on Etsy. Preferably multiple things.

5) Take even more photos. The Hipstamatic app has done wonders for my photo collection but I'm hoping to do an even better job of documenting my life, what with all of the new beginnings and all I find it to be appropriate timing.

year in review

1) I started a new blog!

2) we got some snow (understatement of the year)
CIMG0062

3) I got a new toy (this is very important to me)

4) fun mini trips to Harper's Ferry, DC, NYC

5) Big Time trip to Disney World!

7) I left a job that made me miserable (really, take a look at some posts from the beginning of the year. (I'm tired and I'm not posting today are common themes) and started working down the street from this instead of one of the craziest malls around.


8) We went to some fun carnivals and even the State Fair and got tons of amazing photos that make me happy.

9) We looked at wedding venues, but didn't find anything we could really work with, so instead...


All in all I'd call the year a gleaming success, and next year is set to be completely off the charts!
Have a Happy New Year and be safe tonight, ok?

a few of my favorite things

As the year is coming to an end (can you believe it?) I thought it would be appropriate to do a little roundup of some of my favorite posts from this past year.





















Hope you have enjoyed this year with me, I know I have. Thanks for reading, your support is much appreciated! (And if you enjoy my blog, please share it with others who would enjoy it. And remember to comment on the blog, not on facebook. It helps, it really does.)

fab frocks


Now that we have a fabulous fifties house, I'm going to need a fabulous fifties dress for the housewarming party, right? Right?

We painted the living room today and I am in love. :)

Cat Rabbit


These little creatures have so much personality! I kind of want a small gang of them to hang out in the corner of my room. Guys like this really shouldn't be forced to live in solitude.

heart


A decade of iconic looks from The Beatles by Max Dalton spotted (quite some time ago, thank goodness for Google Reader or I would lose so many great things!) on Hi-Fi Weddings. Pretty bummed I can't find any for sale anywhere though. Hmph.
