Love this time of Year!

In Love

I am in LOVE this this piece of furniture.

I was googling "sideboard tables" and came across this cute little store in Oregon. Everything in the store seems to fit my style. The store is called Sesame and Lilies. I have contacted them about the piece, but bet that it was a onetime item they had. Also, it might be a tad expensive to have it shipped to Memphis. Might be worth it though ;)

Either way, I am totally obsessed with this store and might have to make a trip to Oregon. Anyone with me?

Our house is on HGTV (sort of)

Tune in to HGTV at 9:30 tonight to see our house!!!

The people we bought the house from moved to Germany and contacted HGTV House Hunters International to follow them as they moved. Some footage of our house will be shown at the beginning.

If you miss it, it comes on again at 12:30 a.m.

So Bare

I love our back yard. It has a huge porch, tall trees, a fire pit, and lots of areas for potential wonderfullness ;)
Yep, I love it but boy is it bare!!

There is not one piece of grass, one flower (accept for the planted flowers via Aunt Anne), and barely any plants. It kinds a sad sight. With the weather being so warm I am starting to see my neighbors flowers pop out, trees start to bud, and grass grow greener. I am soo jealous.

I do not have a green thumb but am hoping for some help by my vary talented Aunt.

Here it is:

Ohh so bare :(
Much work to do

Disney

What a Magical Experience!!
Jeff and I went to Disney World this past weekend - his first trip ever! Our inner child came out as we road the rides and searched for the "characters". We had a great time.

Our (my departments) annual sales meeting was held at the Beach Club Disney resort that week so, I decided to stay the weekend and have Jeff fly down to met me. We went to Epcot Friday - went around the world! Then the Magic Kingdom on Saturday.

The weather was perfect Friday - mid 80's and then got a little cooler on Saturday but still relatively nice compared to Memphis.

We missed out on "Soaring" at Epcot but made it to all the other rides. Plus all of the countries!

Of course we had to stop in Paris and get a glass of wine :)

It's fun seeing people get together smiling, relaxing, and acting like children!
Such a fun place!

Atlanta Here I Come

I am heading to Atlanta this weekend with my sister and Mom. A little girls trip - YAY!!

We have a long list of places we want to go but one of them is Scott's Antique Market . I am sooo excited about going because I have soo much I want to buy for the house. I have never been there but hear it is AMAZING!

Things on my list to look for:

• More bookshelves items - which is harder than it sounds because my bookshelves are not tall which limits a lot of the cute items I want to use. For example, I love when bookshelves have lamps that illuminate the area - Unfortunately, no lamps will fit :( So the search begins.
  



• 
  
  
  Potentially, a chair for the office - I've been in search for one but keep going back and forth on the fabric options. Part of me want to choose something that is young and different but then the other part of me want to pick something that I will like for a while and wont get sick of.




• 
  
  
  Frames & Art work for Office and/or Bedrooms - I want to use different types frames for the office similar to what Kate Spade did: (P.S. I love her - we just got a Kate Spade store in Memphis and I am soooo Excited!! Spent about two hours in the store the first time i went - not really sure how, considering it is pretty tiny. Needless to say, they had some great items and great sales!!!)

  Seating/Bench - I have been wanting a bench in my mud room/laundry room. I have found this cute little bench from West Elm but just checked recently and they don't sell it anymore :( I will have to keep my eye out for something else

No matter what I find or don't find it will be a fun trip. Dad is hooking us up with rooms at the Ritz Carlton so it will for sure be a great time! Thanks Dad! Wish us luck!
