where?

where did this week go?

i am blaming it on the three day weekend.

and the fact that in 30 minutes i will be leaving the office to head home.

a little bit later today,

when i have a few more moments,

there will be something awfully special happening on this page.

stay tuned...

a couple of thoughts

via darjeeling dreams

...taking a photo a day of what you're wearing is more of a commitment than i thought it would be.

...this book is in the forefront of my mind. i know what i am going to write about and i couldn't be happier that my mom is going to write in it too.

...i've been thinking a lot lately about work/life balance. it is hard. my plate has been really full lately and even though i love it, i am starting to pull away from things that i really love because i don't have time. scratch that. because i have not found a good way to make time.

...holly hoffman is a blogger i totally connect with on so many levels. i found her blog today via a non-blogger friend. she says so many things that are just so right.

...cooler days mean more baking and cooking [always a good thing in my book]

...next week i am de-stashing. pretty sure I am going to do a combination of putting it on etsy and then a giveaway here?

...nie nie and christan. i think most of you have heard by now. my thoughts and prayers are with them. the best way to help out here? donate? purchase? thinking about this one a lot because they really seem like an amazing family.

thoughts on this?

do not leave unattended

have any of you heard of this?

jude of randomly run 4ist run is doing an awesome project called "Do Not Leave Unattended - Random Dispatches from the Blogosphere."

i read about it on krissy's blog and immediately knew that it was totally something that i needed to be a part of.

and then, i got an e-mail this morning letting me know that i was next on the list!

i seriously cannot wait.

this project is one that makes my heart all pitter patter. snail mail is a wonderful thing in itself but a notebook sent through snail mail full of wisdom and writings and other wonderfulness from other bloggers...that my dears is priceless.

incognito because it was 6:30am and i had yet to put my face on.

i don’t remember where i got the top, leggings from target, shoes from payless.

Trying some things out over on tumblr.

Not really sure about it yet.

I kind of like the layout?

[i have no idea where these images are from - i saved them on my harddrive before i was good at linking]

Things I like about this [line by line, left to right]

• clean white lines but its still really warm and inviting; shabby chic-ness; arched dorways.
• I think I would like these more in the bathroom; amazing use of space, the wall paper, fantastic inspiration board; ampersands and black and white photos are perfect together.
• guest room loveliness; high beadboard walls and wood floors; vintage modern goodness.

Up for discussion.
