{p.s.}

Mister is coming home today! His homecoming may not be as glamorous as what you see above, but a girl can dream, right?!

Lovely day!

{what a girl wants}

As you {may} know, we recently moved. This has struck a 'create / decor / organize' nerve in me. I'm anxious to get painting. After finding a couple of colors and splashing them around our little space, we may have found the paint. But, on to more depth. What I really want....is wallpaper! I know, right?! Crazy. Hello....we rent. One could say, "It's not happening. Be happy that you can paint". But, I personally don't like that answer.

Last week, I scouted out contact paper, thinking I could make a temporary solution. All I want to know, is where was I when the Tempaper buzz was going around?! Apparently not within ear shot. Fear not though, I stumbled upon this ideal solution (particularly for renters). Tempaper offers a variety of removable / temporary paper (thus the name)!!!! Yay for us. I saw some other temporary papers from a few locations, but not nearly the stock options.

I'm seeing some design in my near future. Hmm. Though the selection is limited, I will not push my luck any further and will be happy with the choices.









What do you think?! Should we be so daring?

{loving love}

Perhaps it's the fact that Mister is away and I miss him, or perhaps it's the fact that I've been seeing 'it' all over the place....but, either way, I'm loving love right now.

{happy independence day!}

Happy 4th of July!! I hope that you and yours are blessed on this special day. And a special thanks to my Mister, my American hero.

{DIY update}

Well, I did it. My version anyway. I wanted to go with the whole frame thing...to mimic THIS, but had all of these materials hanging around. And, in effort to get this project done (at least for now) I thought I'd put everything together. I'm thinking of painting the embroidery hoop, but we'll see. The project was so fast, I even had time to make some more earings (see above). They hang proudly around my fave rosette earings from UO. Love how it looks - and once this drab wall is painted, I'm sure to love it even more.

Also - a little update on our 'plants'. Remember me talking about them HERE? Well,they've been repotted and are happy and healthy. The Boise sun did them some good. The tomato plant is even producing fruit. Yay!

Happy day!

{leaving on a jet plane}

I just dropped Mister off at the airport. The last time he got on a plane was to go far, far away from me for a very long time. The memories flooded back this morning when saying au revoir. Luckily for this trip (and for his/my sake), he'll just be in Texas...having the time of his life! If I squint hard enough, I may see his plane take off in a bit.

I hope you all have a beautiful Thursday! I plan on working and then heading to get some supplies to make some more jewelry.

{shoe love}

I know it's just barely July, but I'm ready for fall!! And what would be more perfect for this fall than my favorite color in a shoe?! Any of these would do {cause I could wear a couple of these now}. Hmm - I might want to find some 'flat' alternatives though.
