summertime

Finally! I have been trying to post and nothing was showing up. Now that I am [hopefully] back, I am so happy to be finished with the hardest semester of my life. Now that it is officially summer time for me, I really want to throw an outdoor party. Look at all these pictures that would be lovely to do!

How great are these things? I really need to find a reason to have a party (like I really need an excuse) so I can try these things! Last week, we went to the garden shop and I bought the first flowers for my first garden ever. I am excited to start one, with poppies! Once the weather is nice, I am hitting the garden. Next on the list...peonies!

a place to call home

Lately, I have been getting very excited about decorating. Maybe it's because many of my friends are becoming homeowners. There is just something about dark hard wood floors and tiled walls that make me happy.

Oh I just love that rug!

Take these and add some dishes from Crate & Barrel and Anthropologie and I will be oh so happy.

SWAK

Valentine's Day is coming quickly! Do you remember SWAK? I know I sealed all of my letters with a kiss. I found some lovely festive items.
