Glass Half Full




It's a good thing LAS and I live in a small apartment, because otherwise our kitchen would be overflowing with glassware.  I LOVE drinking glasses...different shapes, colors, textures....I dream of cabinets with glass inserts displaying gobs of tumblers, goblets, & glasses.

Monogrammed Monday: Rope Swing





How amazingly heirloom-ish (new word!) is this?! I imagine this was lovingly handmade by a rather crafty grandfather, don't you?

ETA: Thanks to Rachel, for passing along the original Etsy listing for the swing! Source problem solved.

Target Run




I went to Target today against my better judgement and it was all I could do to make it out alive.  There were so many great things!  I picked up that green dress for an upcoming wedding, that I plan to dress up with some big baubles and summery wedges, some fancy soap for our guest bath from J.R. Watkins and some headbands similar to these, which everyone is talking about.  I'm lusting over those Webster for Target flats and the Privet House placemats....you know how I feel about burlap.

Monogrammed Monday: Sunnies




As if I need anymore reasons to love Grove Gal K (met her in Atlanta last summer...LOVE her!), she goes and adds these gems to her online shop.  I mean seriously. And for $36.50? Go ahead, buy these. You know you want to.
