Love Letter Napkins

Love Letter Napkins | Uncommon Goods

What a perfect way to host a party around Valentine's Day.  Okay, maybe not even a real party, but a romantic dinner for you and your significant other.  LOVE NOTES!  On a napkin.  By important literary figures.  The sweetness is unending.

Love notes written by Emily Dickinson, Jack London, Mark Twain, and D.H. Lawrence all have a different feel to them, but they are all love notes nonetheless.  Well, I wouldn't necessarily call Lawrence's a lovenote to his love...it's actually to the husband of his mistress.  Intriguing, no?

Bon appétit!

So It Turns Out...

That making decisions might not be so difficult after all.  I think we knew the whole time that it would come to this.  There are only so many times and so many ways that the same argument can be said and heard.  So instead we go with what is safe.  And warm.  And beautiful.  We will be visiting this weekend before we make a final decision, so keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Snapshots

A few snapshots of my week:

This bracelet...

...because it suits my mood of blue and gold in January.

 This breakfast...



...because quick can be delicious.

 This spot for me...

...because I love cute little favors at weddings.

 This decoration...

...because it was the perfect centerpiece for their wedding.

This song...



...because for some odd reason, it sets the perfect pace to jog a mile.

Tom Binns Quotation Studs

Quotation Studs | Shopbop

I will admit.  I coveted these earrings the moment I saw them.  An English teacher at the school pointed to her ears and said, "Aren't these the best?"

Oh, they are.  They are the epitome of English-y teacher wear without being dramatic.  If they dangled, even a little, I would consider them corny and toss them aside.  Yet thankfully, Tom Binns realized what a crime that would be.  At $88, I certainly will be looking for a cheaper version.  In fact, I have been looking.  But all of them lack the shine and intergrity of these quotation marks.

Perhaps someone (*cough* Karl *cough*) will find it in them to purchase these for me in the future.  I don't care if the students fail to notice them.  I will proudly point to my ears and say, "Aren't these the best?"

Decisions, decisions.

Snapshots

A few snapshots of my week:

 

This haircut...

 

...because the time had come for a big, refreshing chop.  Ten inches gone.

This worn book...

 

...because somebody must have really wanted to polish up.

 This scarf...

...because the blue and gold fit January perfect.  And warmly.

 These candles...

...because they are festive and cheery on Kenz's Bolivian cloth.

 This dinner...

...because I made it on the fly with ingredients that were forgotten (shells, tomatoes, fresh garlic, and pesto). Mmmm.

DATED Bills Calendar

DATED Bills Calendar | REDSTAR ink

Perfect for the future home.  As someone who loves cute planner/organizers, I also love when they are completely necessary.  There will come a time when there are more bills than I can account for.  I do not look forward to this day.  Online bill paying is so easy and convenient, but sometimes, the hard, paper bill is necessary for documentation.

I love this planner because it has multiple purposes.  The pockets allow for envelopes and markings.  The calendar allows for planning ahead.  I do love planning ahead- not necessarily for bill-paying, but again, functionality and necessity are musts.
