i adore: noon designs.

Loving all the new beauties at my favorite jewelry shop, Noon Designs in San Diego.

And my very favorite, Desert Sunrise (which I wore at our wedding)

hit the sack [literally].

 Is this not the most perfect bedding you've ever seen? If I owned a twin bed, it would be mine. Who wouldn't want to sleep in a a beautiful, white flour sack? 

xoxo.

i adore: sweet shops.

Well, the calendar says it's Tuesday but it feels like it should be Thursday to me. Anyone? We're also in another 105+ degree week. My favorite. Sooo I'm countering the heat with a little cool. Cool shops, that is. These are some of my current favorites. 

1. Hand in Hand Soap (above): They're a brand new company, and every time you buy one of their bars of soap, they donate a bar to help save the lives of the millions around the world who are at risk for water-related deaths. They're website explains that 45% of water-related deaths around the world could have been prevented by handwashing, hence the soap. On top of that, they're eco-friendly, bio-degradable and carbon neutral. Awesome.

2. Aedrial Originals (below): This sweet Etsy shop has the cutest handmade plates. Every piece is hand-painted, and I especially love the birthday plates. 

3. Pretties by Meg (below): I ordered two pieces from Meg last month (this and these) and I LOVE them. Her jewelry has beautiful colors and textures. Right now, I'm loving these mocha earrings. 

4. Terrain (below): Does Terrain ever get old? Not to me. I love these gingham plates and all things buzz buzz. 

What shops are you loving this week?

xoxo.

i adore: this clever little thing.

Did you see the office makeover via TART featured on Made By Girl?

If I worked from home, I'm pretty sure I'd have to get myself one of these amazing handsets. So cute!

xoxo.

i adore: organized space.

 Happy Friday, friends! Hope you all had a lovely week! Today I bring you some photos from our second bedroom, which we're using as an office. I'm trying to use all the blog inspiration I've acquired over the past year to create really clean, personal and beautiful spaces in our new home, so I present: the bulletin board!

 We found this little guy for free a few weeks ago, and I love it! It's nice and big and makes the office feel very office-y. Here's what I've got posted on it right now...

Landon's cross-country schedule and recent/upcoming events (that I need to get gifts for!):

 Landon's academic calendar and a to-do list for TylerBright, which I haven't shared about yet, but an announcement is coming soon! 
UPDATE: Nope, we're not preggers. I didn't really connect that "TylerBright" sounds like a boys name, and that "announcement" implies a bun in the oven. So sorry to disappoint, but feel free to keep guessing!  

 And finally, a tile devoted to Texas, with a list of places we plan to visit and upcoming visitors that we're expecting (written on adorable old library check-out cards from my sister), and a few photos from years past. 

 Want to know the best part? Flip it over and it's a chalkboard! Hooray!

(Like how I shamelessly added my own half birthday?)

Anyone have plans for the holiday weekend?

xoxo.

Just discovered these beauties from Cottage Farm. I'd love to scoop them all up as my own!

i adore: keep calm gallery.

 have you been to keep calm gallery's site? i especially love this tea towel.

 and this print.

and this one too. 

xoxo.

ps. happy friday!

i adore: these boots.

as seen on living with mr. johnson. 

unfortunately, landon says "quarter-birthday" presents don't exist. 

yes, i asked. 

but can you blame me? i love a good topsider.

xoxo.  

i adore: dishes [every single one].

i finished off our pottery barn gift cards from the wedding by completing my set of PB white dishes, and just unpacked them last night. here's a little snippet of my love for dishes (which i inherited from my mom and her bff/my honorary aunt, kim) and landon's attempt to understand:

landon: so what's next to buy after these?

me: cereal bowls. 

landon: and after that?

me: cups and saucers.

landon: cups? we have a lot of cups already.

me: teacups.

landon (with a tinge of sarcasm): oh, teacups. yes, we are short on those. and what's after that? actually, what i'm trying to say is, does it ever end?

me: nope.

xoxo.

i adore: terrain

don't you?

xoxo.

i adore: wooden watches.

 Have you seen these? I'm in love.

And, they plant a tree for each watch you order.

xoxo.

i adore: twigs + antlers.

 i've fallen for these adorable hair clips. whose hair couldn't use a few twigs or antlers in it every once in a while, right? i'm thinking the next time the budget allows for a little treat, these are mine [i know, dave ramsey said you can't give yourself a break, but i don't think he knew about twig bobby pins at the time...].

handcrafted by woodland belle

is it friday yet?

xoxo

i adore: this weekend.

 we're in central oregon this weekend, and i'm loving it already. landon is attending a track and field coaching conference all weekend, and i'm going to catch up on some work, relax and explore the area. our friend drew was sweet enough to let us stay with them for the weekend, and their house already has me a little less content about our itty-bitty one bedroom apartment back in lebanon. 

i'm cozying up with craft, inc. for the afternoon... 

have a lovely weekend!

xoxo.

i adore: all things alphabet. (2nd edition)

this is so cool!

more alphabet love.

i adore: erin condren designs.

 have you heard of erincondren.com? it's the sweetest online design shop with adorable gift labels, address labels, calendars, christmas cards...tons of cute stuff! i just ordered labels a few weeks ago, and they came in the most adorable packaging, along with a handwritten note and a free set of gift labels with my name on them! 

 there ended up being  little typo on our address labels, so i contacted the ladies at erin condren and they were so very sweet and professional, and sent me corrected labels (with lightning fast shipping!) and more adorable gift labels! 

 aren't they the cutest?? i think they'd be perfect to put on a plate of yummy christmas cookies...maybe for our neighbor who's never home.

 here's the address labels (our address blurred, but i promise the whole thing is cute)...

and here's the best part! one king's lane, an online shopping site for home goods, much like rue la la, is offering erin condren labels and other goodies through saturday for only $15 instead of the regular $30 price tag. i highly recommend them!

i adore: watercolor prints.

 

 love, love, loving these watercolor prints. especially the maple syrup!
