I (will) heart NY

I would love to say, "Oh, hey check out this video, who doesn't love NY!?" But in reality I've never been there. It's my goal to make it in the next 6 months, so we'll see. For all you real-life NY lovers, this one's for you.

Winter Goal

silenceofthethumbs via oh hello friend

With cooler weather starting to roll in, it's about time to get tucked into some great movies. I'm a complete sucker for period romances, so this post over on Oh Hello Friend was perfect! My goal this winter is to watch all of these with big mugs of tea while wrapped homemade quilts.... oh man. I'm pumped. (nerrrrd alert!)


Anne of Green Gables (I love these books when I was little), Jane Eyre (2011), Cranford, Under the Greenwood Tree, Persuasion, Jane Eyre (2006), North and South, Pride and Prejudice (an all-time fav of mine already), Emma and The Young Victoria... Thanks for the recommendations, Danni!

inHouse at Target

I was able to bond with some of the Target peeps during last weekends Design Camp, so I was super pumped to find some cool inHouse stuff on the web... I'm sure I'll find more, but take a peek at this for now.

Hello?

Ever have one of those moments where you're not sure if the person you're talking to is listening? Or understanding?  What's that? All the time, you say?

Yeah... me too.

Swearing Makes Me Smile

Some days you just aren't as jovial as you want to be. Today is one of those days for me. One side of my nose is runny, I haven't had any coffee (only tea, for said runny nose) and blinking seems to take an enormous amount of effort. Needless to say, I could've passed on the whole "work" thing today. But alas...

Luckily I came across this video. I've posted about the site and the poster in the past, but this is my favorite installment from these dudes thus far. The whole "Go for it." sentimentality really strikes a cord with me.

Flashback

buy me!

When I saw this vintage nut cracker bowl I was jolted back to my grandparent's house where one of these sat on the coffee table. It took my brother and I YEARS to figure out what it was. Even when an adult would tell us "it's a nut cracker," we had no idea what that meant (really, when you're that little peanuts and cashews are about all the nuts you eat and generally are pre-shelled- what's the need for tools?).

But, all that didn't stop us from playing with it. From the smasher and pickers (them there's technical terms), to the conveniently shaped dish (looks like a good pretend wheel to me!) we could NEVER leave it alone- I'm sure much to my Grandma's chagrin.

Anywhoo, bop on over to the pinkshirtsandcarwrecks vintage shop if you have some children to entertain and or need a good wheel for the fort you're building out of couch cushions in the living room.

Pop Up Party Jealousy

Jordan Ferney, of Oh Happy Day, wrote a great post yesterday on the Real Simple blog about throwing a pop up dinner party.

Needless to say, I'm super jealous. This is now on my to-do list for the fall. Which has me thinking, where would be a good place to hold this lovely par-tay?

So many choices. So little time before the flurries start to fly....
