Springtime walk

I am so loving the warm weather these days (except for nights/mornings when it's still only 40 degrees. one of these days I'm hoping to pack away my winter comforter, but not quite yet). So today I decided to actually leave the store on my lunch break (ok fine, I had to go buy food anyway because we haven't been to the grocery store this week to buy lunches. But I then decided to stay out for the whole hour, so yay!) and I took a little walk around the neighborhood. I should do this much more often because apparently people think that because you work somewhere you know where everything within a 30 mile radius is. Don't know where this restaurant is? Well don't you work here? But rather than take on the task of familiarizing myself with local businesses I just took in some scenery instead.

All of these photos were taken within the single block where I work. I didn't even cross the street.

I do love this town.

Mr. Google

Thanks to the mister for bringing today's Google logos to my attention. I loved the Mr Men and Little Miss books when I was younger, and still have a small collection of them to this day. Today is the 76th birthday of the series' creator, Roger Hargreaves.

Happy Mother's Day

To my mother and all the other fantastic mothers out there (hey I even had a few strangers wish me a happy mother's day and I'm not even a mother). I love you, mom!

what kind of a museum is this anyway?

Stunning. Swoon-worthy. Makes me want to learn to quilt, but I'm not going to kid myself into thinking I can duplicate this. Carson Converse Studio via sfgirlbybay

I don't think I would ever send these cards to anyone, they are just too pretty to give away!

Party at my house!

Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo (in case you were not aware) and nothing would make me happier than staying home all day hanging streamer garlands for a lovely little party. But alas, I am not so lucky. But just in case you are, Martha Stewart tells you how.

They're out!

I just posted the full story of our wedding invitations over on our wedding blog, but of course I wanted to post an abbreviated version here. So if you're happy with just seeing a couple of photos, this will do. If you want to hear a little bit more about what went into it, you need to click here. 

Without further ado...

thanks, Dr.

Thanks for the chuckle, Design Crush.

This photo has nothing to do with anything except that it's cute.

But can you believe it's May already? This year is flying by like nobody's business so I'm trying to make sure I take some time just to sit back and breathe for a bit. There's still so much to do before the wedding, but we are steadily checking things off the list so that's good. And I will be able to share the invitations with you very soon! Pretty excited about it because we put a lot of love into them. :)

I would say I hope you all are having a great weekend, but it looks like it's cold and nasty pretty much everywhere so oh well. Hope the coming week will serve us better!
