Birthdays

Apparently I never published this... So, here you go!

I recently had a birthday.

It was pretty nice.

It was the first birthday I had a boyfriend, so that was cool.

The sweet guy showed up at my house with these

And this (which I've been wanting for so long but could never bring myself to purchase because of the price.

He's seriously the best. I won't bore you all with telling you how much I like him.

But I like him quite a bit.

Sewing but...

... hates that Utah has NO good fabric stores.

None.

Or at least none with good websites that allow me to locate 4 inch satin ribbon to use on a ring pillow I'm making for a wedding that happens next week.

I guess I'll be making some calls tomorrow.

In other news, I love my puppy Cleo and my cute boyfriend Christopher.

Sentimentalism

I found this is Christopher's car the other day

Yep, the ticket stub from our first (well, technically second. Our first was, like, three years ago) date. He's so cute.

Yesterday, he showed up to my house before church with a cute rose and a scone from Sill's.

He's so thoughtful and great.

The poor guy showed up while I was in the shower and had to sit out in the hot sun for about 15 minutes until I got out and let him in.

This is my best friend Emily. We love each other a lot.

Have a lovely week, my dears.

Chris Clark

I have a boyfriend and his name is Chris.

We love each other a lot.

He's a really fantastic man.

He gives me footrubs (without me even having to ask.)

When I get headaches, (which happens often) he rubs my head.

He goes to see Harry Potter with me at midnight.

He goes to breakfast with me and poses for silly (but adorable) pictures.

He's wonderful.

In other news, Harry Potter is over. It feels weird. Maybe I'll start filling my time with productive, grownup things.

Wedding Blogs

...not that I'm planning one anytime soon.

I just love them. They're so pretty and lovely and happy.

I sit for hours at work (I have a lot of free time when I work the opening shift)

scrolling through wedding blogs

(my favorites being Utah Bride Blog and

Green Wedding Shoes )

I found this beauty on Salt Lake Bride and Groom the other day.

Instead of a sign in book at a wedding, you have people write their

well wishes on a piece of paper and hang it from a tree.

I dedinitely plan on doing this for my wedding when that time comes.

Me and my man bought a picnic basket

(I don't know if I've already posted about it or not.)

Which is adorable, right?

Well, to add to the adorableness, I've decided to make a super cute picnic blanket.

Fear not, my dears! I shall post pictures of it when it is complete!

Have a lovely week darlings!

Hello dearies. Happy Flag Day!

I want these pretty things:

This pearl ring from Sundance

Gold Toms


A blue beach cruiser with a basket
(I'd prefer a wicker basket over metal, though.)

Luckily, I have this brilliant boyfriend who is good with bikes.

He says we can find an old one and fix it up for me,

which will probably be difficult because everybody wants them.

Wish us luck!

Have a lovely week!

Brandon Flowers

My newest love is Brandon Flowers of The Killers.

It's a fantastic album and you should all check it out.

Confession time: I like Ke$ha sometimes. Like Tik Tok and Your Love is My Drug.

Please don't judge me.

Lately I love this:

I did it to my toes today, since making pizza makes it almost impossible to keep my nails looking nice for longer than a shift.

Have a lovely week, darlings!
