Obviously this is the best post you’ve ever seen. I can only guess I was in 5th grade or so when this was taken & look at me, I am planning my future right there at that desk. Did you guys ever do “Take Your Daughter to Work Day?” Well here I am, sitting with my Dad learning how he crunches numbers for a living while “may the force be with you” scrolls across that computer screen. As if I could’ve taken a more opposite path in life…nice try, Dad.
Nice Try, Dad
I Promise I’m Not a Stalker…
…is what I wrote to Joe this morning because I just can’t get enough of his wedding! I featured their felt flowers, (made by the bride herself!) in a previous post, but that was just a peek at this unique celebration. Look at these photos! This seriously just looks like FUN, doesn’t it?!

Home Plates

oOOoOoOo, so pretty!! Oh Martha, you never cease to amaze me. I used to think registering for fine dishware was kind of old fashioned but, this ain’t your grandma’s china. Nowadays there are some really great modern patterns out there including these by Martha Stewart. I am a huge fan of the clean designs and funky prints. I guess when you’re younger you don’t really understand why you have to do the dishes when there are perfectly good plates & cups in the china cabinet, but alas, when you get older you realize the need. These are perfect: fun, funky, formal. Martha Stewart Fine China
TUESDAY SHOES-DAY
Mint Condition

If you’re anything like me, you are not a lipstick fan. The best I can do is a tinted lip gloss & these ones by C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries are the best! You definitely need something on your lips to be picture-perfect for your wedding day, and these will add the perfect hint of natural color and shine. Added bonus – they are infused with 2% peppermint oil so it actually helps keep your breath fresh & minty on your big day! Mentha Lip Tint in various shades, $7.50 
Thoughts on this Throwback?
Have you guys seen these? I saw them for the first time today while shopping & they are pretty neat. Now this goes against everything I believe in, being that I am totally anti-Pepsi, but not only did I look at them, I wanted to figure out what they meant by “throwback.” The design? Well, sorta. They’re calling it a “throwback” because they are using real sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. (What about that commercial with the kool-aid and popsicles that said high-fructose corn syrup wasn’t bad for you?) Anywho, you win Pepsi. I came, I saw, I blogged and I liked your designs. What do you guys think??
