First, let me just state for the record that Good Will Bunting is the very best name for a shop whether you’re a fan of Ben Affleck or not. Secondly, not only is the name great, the entire stock of bunting is perfectly patterned and making me raise the roof just a little. Thirdly, Heidi is everybody’s BFF today and offering you the chance to win one large or two small bunting in the pattern of your choice.

Visit Good Will Bunting and leave a comment on this post before next Friday, August 6th. Make sure to leave an email address if your contact info is hard to find. The winner is chosen randomly and will be contacted by me.

Necklaces that make you instantly cool are my fave

I’m adding another name to the list of people who are much cooler than me. Her name is Sarah Fox and she designs awesomeness in necklace form. The party necklace is so aptly* named, wouldn’t you agree?

*Do you ever question whether you’re using a word correctly so you hurry and check it on dictionary.com? I just did that but only because Ryan wasn’t in the room.

Vintage mini golf sets are my fave

I love the idea of buying a vintage mini golf set for summertime play. Although right now we would have to play it in our cement ridden courtyard or on our soiled carpet. Isn’t soiled the worst word ever? Oh! Discussion time, what are some words you absolutely hate? Yes, I’m looking at you panties.





Interior barn doors are my fave

Ryan has this idea in his head that he wants to live on a farm. Maybe some sliding barn doors around the home will satisfy him.





on-hand + modern is my fave

onhand

I think I’m going to form a fan club for Celeste’s blog on-hand + modern. I just love the execution of both her photos and words. These balloon in a box birthday invitations are genius. And I love her simple and sweet celebration for her son’s fourth birthday involving reeling in balloons floating outside his bedroom. Fan club powers activate.

My mom called me yesterday just to tell me that Julia Child’s cooking show was sponsored by Polaroid. It’s the little things that make my days happy.

Marta has started a how to series to celebrate the things we know. Isn’t that so great? Today I’m sharing how to send an ice cream party in the mail. You heard me correctly, it can be done. Ice cream and all. I guess I figured out that sending themed packages is my specialty.

Also, if you read Marta’s blog, you know that she is one of the sweetest persons. Unfortunately she’s suffered a great loss recently. I just want her to know that our thoughts and prayers are with her.





A lover of polaroid and being interviewed for something other than a job is my fave

It’s taken me entirely way too long to perk up and notice the amazing Susannah Conway and her love of the ever great instant polaroid. Come on guys, I thought you had my back.

Breenuh asked me a few questions so if you were wondering if I’m a fan of the NBA tattoo situation, take a look at my answers.
