flickr friday: simple + pretty

{2009's first peonies & you guessed it}

Simple + Pretty is today's flickr fave. I have been a long admirer of her blog, simple + pretty. She touches on all the most important topics: paper, fashion, design, living and photography. Perfect.

Sorry I have been a little m.i.a. this week. I have been really busy with work and getting ready for a wedding that we are going to this weekend. We are headed up to Minnesota with some friends to see two of our very good friends get married, and we couldn't be more excited. I will share pictures next week with you, as well as pictures of their invitations and programs that I designed.

What are you up to this weekend?

Oh! And don't forget to enter in my little giveaway right here, today is the last day!

Also, head on over to design crush, where I am having another fun giveaway as well.

Tumblr love...

I have really been enjoying tumblr lately. It is refreshing to see so much lovely inspiration out in the world. My mom is here for the day so we are off to do fun girly things. So I will leave you with my 5 favorite tumblrs right now:

*sodapop treats

*mary ruffle

*nom, nom, nom

*you are my fave, jr

*(oh so) beautiful paper

Go and check them out! And here is a link to mine too.

And thanks so much to pretty by pistachio blog for giving me the "lovely blog award". It truly made my day and was so nice.

I love this show...

So You Think You Can Dance...

...I am in love with this show. I have been waiting for season 5. This show is amazing and all of the dancers are so incredible. Wednesday night was the first night for the top 20 to dance and Thursday will be the first elimination. I am so nervous who is going home, because I honestly love all of them. Do you watch?

We had a fun weekend at our friend's wedding. It was so great to see our friends and catch up. Hope you all had a lovely weekend and I will be back tomorrow to share some projects that I have worked on lately.

All New Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl is all new tonight on the CW and I can hardly stand the wait! It is definitely my favorite show and guilty pleasure. I need to know what is going on b/w Dan and the teacher, what Blair is scheming about, where Nate has been....and will Chuck and Blair ever hook up??

Hello Monday...

I'm still recovering a little from the time change, feels like I'm a little jet-lagged or something. But I'm really looking forward to the sun staying out longer and spring to arrive. Not much other news around here, I'm hoping to have a big etsy update this week & I started a tumblr account. I still need to mess with html and get it looking how I want, but for the most part it is up and running. A little visual inspiration. Have a good day!

Coolest school

The Erika-Mann Elementary School II is located in Berlin. It was designed by the kids along with the a group of architecture students called Baupiloten.

Mobiles

I am really liking the looks of mobiles these days. From Pottery Barn Kids and Frazier & Wing.

Inauguration Day

I was very proud today to say that I am an American. President Obama's speech moved me to tears and instilled hope in my heart. I look forward to him being our President and am optimistic about the things that he can help change.

Beyonce & Justin on SNL

I missed SNL last week, but the skit of Beyonce and Justin dancing to her "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" is hilarious. I guess SNL doesn't own the rights to the song, so it is pretty hard to find. I found a link here (who knows when it will be taken down though). Check it out.
