I'm Not Gonna Write You a Love Song...

But I might buy you some love letter sheets.
Soft sateen imprinted with romantic verses? Yes please.
What a gorgeous way to ensure sweet dreams.

Hope you all are having a lovely Thursday!

Mirror Mirror...Finally on My Wall

Good Tuesday morning lovely readers! Thank you for being patient during my little absence- I haven't been in a blogging mood since we lost my Papa. I am back today and feeling a bit better, so I thought I'd share my newest purchase with you guys. I have been coveting a peacock (or honeycomb) mirror ever since I saw Liz Lange's entryway featured in Domino Magazine a few years ago. I was so excited to come across this beauty at Wisteria, but, unfortunately, a $2400 Mirror is just ridiculous to me. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw an affordable version at Pier 1. As soon as we got some wedding loot, I knew this baby would be mine. Luckily, I waited long enough for it to go on sale and snagged it last week for $150! It now hangs proudly over our mantle (pic coming soon...)

I hope everyone is having a lovely week!!

Catalog Living: A Lesson in Hilarity

Good Monday Morning lovelies,

How was everyone's weekend? Ours was CRAZY! Only 2 months till the wedding people, and I have to say, I was a little stressed out over the weekend. Maybe it was the 8 hours spent putting together wedding invitations to mail? Ugh. I guess that's what I get for being a picky-pants, Type-A designer.

Anywho, I also checked our registry this weekend, and spent some time clicking around Pottery Barn & Crate and Barrel. Love these sites! But I will never look at them quite the same way since my friend Laine (hi Lainie!!! Miss you!!) turned me on to the Catalog Living Blog. Um, holy hilarity! If you are having a rough day and need some good old fashioned yuppie comedy, head on over and check out their commentary on the ridiculousness that is Home Catalog Staging. Seriously- how many apples does one need on their coffee table? And why so many fans Pottery Barn? This site makes me cry with laughter every time. Here are some of my fave posts...Join me, won't you?

Now I know my ABC's...

Next time won't you sing with me?! Ok, maybe I'm a little old for the ABC song. I'm still totally obessed with type-and am toally loving all of the alphabet art I keep running across. Looks like I am going to run out of wall space...

When the fiance's away, I will...decorate

Its Thursday, which means Geoff comes home tonight! Finally! I always hate it when he travels, but I always get a lot done when he's gone. Besides the Wedding Welcome Sign I posted yesterday, I have also been working on a cute little vignette for the dresser in our bedroom. The dresser had basically become a drop zone for all things: keys, change, receipts...basically just a bunch of crap that I got tired of looking at. So I got to thinking, if we had some actual decor up there, maybe we would be less inclined to make it messy. We'll see if it works! Check out the pics of my effort below- I tried to use things we already have around the house: my cute owl vase from Antique Alley, a stack of old books, some greenery I've had in my craft room for a while, one of our engagement photos, and a framed page from a Buddhist calendar. I'm so happy with how it came out. Have a lovely day all!
