Discovered blogs after I got married...

I was not into blogs until I became unemployed and needed to fill my days with something, so I started reading food blogs, which led to design blogs, fashion blogs, mommy blogs (don't ask, never been pregnant), and then somehow wedding blogs. I was married at this point, in fact JUST married. I was unemployed because I moved to him for his job, and finding work in D.C. in 2008 was not all that easy. Anyway, after the discovery of blogs, I started kicking myself for not finding them earlier for all the great wedding advice. I loved my wedding, sure the groomsmen forgot black socks and I forgot to make a schedule for the reception, but hey that's life right? I mean details are simply NOT my thing...I apologize to my future children when I will forget to wash your shirt for purple shirt day and am frantically sewing on your boy scout patches on the way to the banquet.

Anyway, then I started my own blog for shits and giggles, mostly so I can catalogue cool stuff I see on the internet and I can have all the blogs I read i

n one place.

However, I recently ran across these:

How freaking cute! I would plan my wedding again (not really) to use these!

yummy...

This and this is why She Eats Bears is my new fav. Try them, these recipes are summer dream food.

I can totally make this

This is an amazing chair, but anthropologie is charging $200 for this chair. This is a folding chair with cool fabric, and I feel quite confident I can do this, and I shall.

from balloons to banners to books, I'm seeing inspiration everywhere!

mason jar lovin'....

So, i think everyone loves mason jars, right? I mean what isn't to love, and now seeing them as chandeliers makes me want them even more. Right now I have a rockin' chandelier from Urban Outfitters, but some day, I'd like to make this first one and put in on my back porch....

Here is a tutorial on how to make it.

I think I'd put it over this table:

Only I'd have some blue jars as well!

This one is an anthropologie display that was then show on apartment therapy. Not practical in a house, but very, very cool.
