My centerpiece found ME!

Remember when I was boasting about my amazing new dining table and mentioned that all I could think about was how to spruce up the top of it? Well, in the past week, two gorgeous pieces randomly found their way to me! 

First, I received this beautiful pottery barn vase from my SIL for helping with her wedding paper designs. Thank you Emily & Aaron... can't wait for the wedding this weekend and to share some of those designs with all of y'all soon! And then, kind of an interesting story about how I received the burlap runner... I got an order for a custom label to match my camping party invites and the name of the customer sounded familiar. So, being the nosy gal I am, I clicked on her etsy profile and linked to her shop on etsy! And what do you know, I happened to already have one of her burlap runners starred as one of my "favorites"! So, I mentioned to her how much I loved her runners and we decided to do a trade! I design her labels and she send me a runner... Deal!

I love it... so simple, love the texture, not too flashy... perfect! Check out Rayna Lane to spruce up your own table tops! :)

Ok Monday...

I know a lot of people think Mondays aren't hard on SAH Mamas the way they are on business peeps, but man, am I feelin' a case of the Mondays right now! But, I'm ready to attack this week, and this print says it like I'm thinking it! :) I think I need it hanging in my bathroom.

I Heart Linda & Harriett

I just had a birthday. I'm currently in my last year of my twenties! Yikes. But anyway, that's not the point of this post! I received a gift for said birthday from a friend who happened to hit the nail on the head with this gift for two reasons... 1. I love anchors and 2. I love the designer who created these note pads {and my b-day gift} below!

Yummy, hey?! Let's just say when I opened the box with this simple, clean, crisp, nautical notepad inside I was beaming! Who knew a little white notepad could do that, hey? Well, see, I follow Linda & Harriett's blog and have admired Liz, designer and owner of L&H, for quite some time! {She doesn't know me, but I know her ... kind of creepy deal... I even met her at the New York Stationery Show a couple times and got all nerdy and jittery around her!} So anyway, getting this notepad, felt like it was coming from someone "famous"! Ya know? So, thanks H, for feeding into two of my favorite things... anchors and Linda & Harriett!
