is it beach weather yet?

we had a nice break in the cold weather and actually had a few nice, almost spring like days. however, today is full of sleet and cold. i’m pretty sure i’m over winter, and i’m ready for warmer temps. so today, i’m liking these sea urchin prints. they remind me of sunshine and the warm beach waters ahead.

percy handmade

these beautiful handmade rosette sashes caught my eye today. they’re fashioned out of silk dupioni and embellished with pearls, vintage rhinestones and glass beads. so, so lovely.

thanks for all of the sweet comments on the color palette we’re considering for the nursery. i think we’re leaning more and more towards it!

ornament tradition

since getting married, every year kacey and i share a holiday ornament tradition. we reminiscence about the events that took place over the past year and search for an ornament that reflects what we’ve experienced.

in 2009, we took a memorable trip to paris and experienced lots of change including finding out that we’re expecting. we chose this limited edition gilded leaf “christmas nest” ornament by paloma’s nest to depict our year. it’s a stretch, but we see symbolism in the leaves of the ornament. to us, they represent the leaves of our nest coming together, and the largest leaf reminds us of a bird which is symbolic of our flight/journey to paris. it took many months to find an ornament that encompassed our memories, but i love what we decided upon.

i’d love to hear about some of your special holiday traditions!

mini pouches

for a while now i’ve been thinking that i’d like to have something to hold my business cards in. i don’t like just throwing them into my purse or even my wallet. i’d like a little more protection. i think these mini pouches might be a cute option!
