happy un-father's day

 While poking through the pictures that I've taken this last month I keep coming across all these great ones of the two dads that are living here right now- my husband, and our friend Miguel. It is such a blessing to watch these guys do what they do best every day. In the story of Alice in Wonderland the characters have a knack for celebrating un-birthdays (every other day of the year that is not your birthday is your un-birthday). I guess following that logic that would make this "Un-father's Day" (one of many  :)). So let's hear it for Daddy's! If you know an amazing dad then tell him "Happy Un-father's Day" today and make sure you let him know how great a job he's doing!

i just love this

What a great little laundry room! C'est chic!

weekend photos

Just a few random photos from my lovely weekend. How was yours?

my storm free weekend

This was the best hurricane ever! Instead of sitting around with the lights off and sweltering, my family and our friends took off to visit our dear relatives that live near Winston- Salem over the weekend while the storm passed. I have never been to this particular city, and let me tell you, it was a surprise. It's a great little city, relatively clean, and the arts district is chock full of amazing little stores, boutiques, and (slurp) gorgeous little restaurants and wine bars. Just lovely. Here are some fun shots I got of the city. Can't wait to go back.

high water

I just wanted to let you all know that I am evacuating my current location on account of Irene, the old party pooper. But the good news is that I will be holing up with a best friend, her husband, and a few other friends...what better way to spend the weekend anyway? So away we go and I pray you are all safe. Take care, and I will be back as soon as the power comes back on here after the storm!

time for a squishy quilt

Anthropologie

I love my room, and I love my bed. I took this shot a few weeks ago and it looks mighty alluring today. I keep thinking it's time to make a bedspread for it. There's this one at Anthropologie that I've been drooling over- it looks like a big pile of pillows...so squishy. Yes, isn't it funny how every time I look at the linens at Anthropologie I can't help but think it's time to sleep under something that didn't belong to Chad while he was in college?
