|| the striped shirt ||

thanks MATCHBOOK for highlighting one of my all time faves

I could never ever get sick of wearing striped shirts....

it's been my signature uniform ever since I can remember.

A good friend told me the other day that her love of stripes came from me

and I couldn't have been more excited....

Here's to a lifetime of those perfect horizontal lines.

|| conversation heart trail mix ||

we threw a little valentines day party this year...

complete with conversation heart trail mix, heart shaped pb&j's,

fancy love potion, party favors and cupid himself,

delivering love notes of course...mwah!

|| valentines oh eleven ||

busy life = no time to make the valentines day cards of my dreams...

but there was time for felt hearts, a little stitching and lots of love.

|| quick wrap ||

i don't usually buy wrapping paper...

mostly because it's fun to create something with what I have.

I didn't give myself enough time to create a masterpiece but

some anthropologie tissue paper, scissors, a leftover snowflake 

and a trip to my ribbon box worked quite nicely for a last minute quick wrap.
