My Latest Deals

Yesterday, I took my fall quota to Repeat Boutique. I also managed to spend some money...well a gift card really :) Here is Hank checking out my loot: a terracotta pot for $1.00, a really cute white flower bowl for $3.00, Jenny McCarthy's Belly Laughs for 50 cents, 8 tan linen napkins for $2.00, a glass water carafe for 50 cents and three cute white and red polka dot place mats for $3.00. These would be so cute for a child's party. They remind me of mushrooms and gnomes. I also got a roll of silver wrapping paper for 50 cents and a picture frame for $5 that hold three pictures. I am going to spray paint it black.

The Prefect Smell of Fall

OK, I am LOVING this new scent from B&BW. I bought this candle a few weeks ago and I already need another one. Everyone who comes over comments on how good it smells and asks me where I got it. Next time you go to the mall, check it out.

Flashback Friday!

Awww...this picture brings back such good memories. This was the summer of 2005...my first summer visit to Minnesota and right before we got engaged. In fact, Joe had brought the ring to MN to show off to everyone and I had no idea :) Joe took me for a ride in the airplane that his family owns and we went to visit his dad "up north". We had only been dating for about 6 months, but were already so in
L-O-V-E.

We are in print....

Joe and I are one of the featured couples in the magazine, The Nest, this month. We are featured with other young couples who had fun Halloween costumes. Well if that wasn't already exciting enough...a friend sent me a test today that we were also on msn.com. How fun!

If you are not familiar with thenest.com and The Nest magazine, it is the step after theknot.com and before thebump.com. They are all really cute sites that are also really helpful. It's geared toward young married couples. We were really excited to be apart of it.

Happy Fall!

Time to bust out the Uggs...it's Fall Ya'll! This is my favorite season of the year...here are some fall things that make me happy :)

Cute Pumpkins and fun ways to display them....still need to buy these :)

Yummy apple crisp....nothing better on a fall night!

Taking a nice walk when the leaves are changing...one of my favorite ways to relax.

YUM! Apple cider....give it to e hot or cold, I do not care. I LOVE it! I think I get this from my dad, who always had to have this treat in the fall.

Rehearsal Dinner Ideas

My little brother is getting married in December. The Varsity in Atlanta is catering and we wanted to do something fun. I am doing a candy buffet too! I am trying to stick to candy that you remember eating (and LOVING) as a kid. Here are some pictures that gave me ideas:

I wish our budget allowed a photo booth...how cute and fun would that be?!

I REALLY like the red with black and white polka dots. I am 99% sure that is the look I am going for. I already got sqaure red dinner plates and black and white polka dot napkins!

Nashville Flea Market...Here I Come!

In two weeks, I am driving up to Nashville to stay with my BFF, Kristy for "Girls Weekend". I am sooo excited to go to the Nashville Flea Market. Kristy goes at least once a month and is always talking about it. I have a few things on my "to find for cheap" list and I am hoping to get some of those items checked off. Here is my list so far.

I am loving vintage flash cards. The right ones look so cute in a frame.

Old skeleton keys....I do not know exactly what I am going to do with them...maybe just put them in jar. I have a few and I want more

Any big metal/wood/galvanized/plastic letters. I am looking for M's but also other letters for some projects that I have in mind.

Old grain sacks. I have seen these used to make everything from pillows to table runners...the possibilities are endless!

Vintage seltzer bottles. I just think it would look neat to have one on a bookcase or something.

An old fan for the guest room. I do not care if it works, only if it's cheap and looks good.

Old locker room baskets. I have a few ideas for these....maybe in the pantry to hold snacks, mixes, etc., maybe in the laundry room for single socks or stain removers, maybe in the kitchen on a shelf. I would love to find about three of them.

Vintage milk bottles with a carrier. I REALLY want one of these. I have found the bottles and I have found the carrier, but they are NEVER together and I never know if I will ever find a set. I want to use these as decoration on the kitchen shelf and and as the occasional flower vase. One flower in each jar looks adorable sitting there on a table!

Vintage soda crate. I have NO IDEA what to do with one of these....but I like them. Maybe it would work to hold magazines or something?

Vintage soda bottle caps. I plan to put a magnet behind and use these on my magnetic chalkboard in the kitchen...so cute!

Vintage letterpress printers block. I have been loving these for a while. I want to try and spell out "MOSKE". I found the "MOS" the other day at an antique mall here in Memphis, but I need the "KE". I also want the letters to spell out "LOVE". I am not REALLY sure why this last part was underlined....
