Fab {ric} Finds

Here are yesterday's textile treasures:

We changed up the color scheme of the whole room..whoops! They were having a 1/2 off sale!! We bought all that they had left of the blue/white stripe..it just happens to be very similar to these:

I have been DYING for some since Grace Happens mentioned purchasing them a couple of weeks back!

I've also been meaning to take pics of the things we've "given a new life" so far for Emily's apartment...I'll get on that.

Can't wait to see the bench and pillows covered in her new fab!

Always A Bridesmaid...

Well, not ALWAYS. This is my first wedding and I could NOT be more excited!!

A few weeks ago, my phone rang and it was my brothers' {precious- adorable- funny- smart- pretty...the list goes on} fiance!

We don't get to have too many chit chats over the phone- so I was just happy to hear from her!..

THEN-

It happened!...

After talking and playing catch up for a minute....

SHE POPPED THE QUESTION! :) :) :)

She asked me to be in the wedding!! YAY!

I could not have hand picked another person in this world that is better suited for Seth.. and I am absolutely estatic to be gaining such a wonderful Sis figure!

I miss you guys! Hopefully I'll see ya soon... Love ya!

Choc-ohh-lot

OK, the chocolate is missing, and even if it wasn't- you would not want to partake of its remains. Trust me.

I found this wonderful little tin while on a yard sale extravaganza with the girls about a month ago. She was a bit of a bank breaker at $0.10- but I had a feelin' I could shine 'er up. :)

Here she is in all {well, about half} of her beaut-





Aww..isn't she a cutie? I've only had time to knock the dust off the top so far, but she's come a long way- her top was teetotally black when I purchased her!

I just love the little bird and flower details! :)

I'll let ya know when I decide what the heck to use her for!

We're off to find some fabric to spice up Em's new apartment! :)





Be back with the results later!

So Hard To Say Goodbye..

Yesterday evening, I decided to have swimfest at Mom's house! Sadie, Emily, Taylor and I had a great time!

But the whole time, all I could think of was my sweet little Ginger not being there :(





I miss her SO much-

The first pic was taken last week and the second was the last one I took of her Saturday before we took her to the vet...

Something was def missing- swimfest just isn't the same without her!! :)

The Good Life

Just thought I'd share with you my plans for after work today! :)

Today, the sky looks like this:



Therefore, Sadie and I plan to do this:



She absolutely HATES the water- can you tell? :)

On a sad note:



My beautiful Hydrangeas are wilting :(

I just love having fresh flowers scattered throughout the house!
{and I'm a sucker for Milk Glass!}
Any suggestions on what to use next?

Ginger

When I was about seven years old, a stray puppy showed up at our house one day. Of course, my parents said what most parents would say, NO! But after a few days of convincing, they were just as hooked on her as I was. What we didn't know was- she would quickly become a member of the family and spend the next fifteen-ish wonderful years winning us over a little more everyday- and with every little hand shake :)

Those years have flown by entirely too fast!





Saturday afternoon, after weeks of debating, my family decided to let our sweet little girl go.
:( She was getting older and more fragile..and a few months ago developed an external cancerous growth, which got progressively worse over the past few weeks.


It's unbelievable how attached we become to pets! We miss her so much already, but know that she is in a better place and no longer in pain! :)

Love you G!
