Today...

Today I turn one year older (the last of my 20's for those of you wondering) and I hope to have some time to sit, relax and just be still. My birthday wish would be for that sitting place to look like this...
And while I really "need" exciting items such as new tires (ugh don't get me started) I hope to get one thing that I "don't need"...perhaps this....
A mini polaroid camera!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend! If you are waiting for an e-mail from me I promise to catch up soon.

Start Spreading The News....

I am off for a long weekend in NYC for a girls trip, I can't wait! I will be doing this...And a lot of sighting seeing in places like this...
What are you doing this weekend? Going to a party perhaps? Bringing wine to the party? Why not dress it up a little?

And while you are on Wisteria why not get something to dress up your door?
More great gift ideas on Wisteria

***Speaking of parties and gifts....I know she will kill me but be sure to visit Blueprint Bliss and wish my very, very dear friend Brooke a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

Have a great weekend!!!!

Delight-ful

The other day I randomly came across these candles seen HERE and I thought they were a cute idea. So I started looking around Delight.com and found several great gift ideas. This Christmas snuck up on me and one of the things I am working on this year to have great, small gifts on hand so I won't be caught scrambling last minute for a hostess gift or a little happy for someone. I can tell already this site will help me in my organized quest.


I love the idea of getting little plants, indoor plants make me happy. Problem being I cannot remember to water them, so for someone like me the self watering pot (above right) is perfect-and they come in some great colors.

The above gifts are mentioned for the guys, but I would like either one of them. The little Ipods speakers make me happy and the catchall is much needed on my dresser.
File these in the "when I actually throw the dinner parties I have in my head file". Disposable, pop up place mats, so random and quirky but they speak to me.
Origami sticky notes...for when you are bored at the office, I think it is a genius idea. Each piece comes with instructions for different objects or animals.
I love cake. And I love birthdays. Need I say more?

A Case of the Mondays

I know, it is Monday morning and you are feeling blah. Don't fret my friends, I have something to make you feel better...I Heart Luxe has just come out with their 2008 gift guide and it is good! Here are just some of my favorites-I always lose my keys, it drives me Crazy!!!! Maybe this key chain can keep me organized.

Vintage letter press letters, so many uses
Watches are my thing, this one will have to be mine...


Speaking of "things"-I have a thing for bird feeders, but more on this later in the week...











Now this is a light fixture, I LOVEEEEE lights......


No I don't expect the husband to buy me these Tiffany earrings for Christmas, but they sure are nice to look at....





For my magazines....















I know so many of you LOVE this (Alexia) and I am no different, so fitting for a Monday.
