A Friday giveaway is my fave

May 29, 2009 // 57 Comments

It’s been a while since I’ve done a good old giveaway. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to, honestly if I had loads of money I would make giving presents my full time job. Anywho, Abby sent me two perfectly pretty flower shop prints when I only ordered one! I guess she’s just awesome like that. If you want to win this little beauty leave a comment telling me why you read this blog (a little market research). Leave it before Monday morning or sorry Charlie, no chance of winning for you.





Alphabet prints are my fave

I kind of want the whole alphabet. They even do custom prints. M is for Melanie is awesome. Do you think that would come across as too cocky?

I just heard a cheer from the other room. Apparently Bob Ross is coming up on TV. You know, the painter on PBS. I guess Ryan is looking for a hobby now that the second year of law school is donezo.

Whitney takes some stunning self portraits spotted on Darling Dexter

Who knew lyrics could make some lovely wall art? The bottom one was handmade by Meghan. I would have a hard time deciding what song to use. I’d probably want to do something by Bon Jovi just for kicks. Woah-oh living on a prayer.





Yellow striped bedrooms are my fave

I’m just recovering from a long car ride and enjoying this space on a rainy morning. Excuse me while I get back in stride.





Teepees are my fave

Decided – my child will have a teepee in their room, even if I’m the only one who plays in it. Or naps in it.

PS And I don’t want any snarky comments about, “Oh I didn’t know you were pregnant.” Katie, I’m looking at you. I’m just preparing.

PPS Hooray for three day weekends, even though all my weekends are seven days long. Have a good one. 




Pretty dinner parties are my fave

Oh, don’t these just make you want to throw a dinner party? I’m thinking of gathering up a rustic wooden table and chairs, plopping down in the middle of a field and eating like a European. You in?





That’s a dealbreaker is my fave

// 16 Comments

the best birthday card I’ve ever received, from Natalia 

I feel like my love for Liz Lemon jumped leaps and bounds during last week’s finale. I have a feeling “that’s a dealbreaker” will replace “I want to go to there” for the most loved Liz catch phrase.

Angie: I just found out that Tracy has a secret credit card I didn’t know anything about–
Liz: Not on my watch, biotch
Angie; And he’s been using that credit card to pay for a hotel room here in New York two days a week.
Liz: S that D, shut it down. DEALBREAKER.

I just had to comment, it was just that good. Did you see it?

A cake covered in peanut butter cups is my fave

The last time I posted a photo of a delicious looking baked item a friend surprised me by baking it a delivering it to my doorstep that very day. So I’m trying it again – blog world, bake me this cake.
