trois

i love furniture finds. one day. when i have a home of my own. (one day, hoping ha).  i can't wait to find unique pieces of furniture, or run down pieces that you can turn into a project. i really like this piece that you would think normally be, i don't know a tv stand, but they've painted yellow yet keeping its vintage feel and using it for linens and other extras for the bathroom. well here is to one day, and a future home of  design projects.

another sweet nothing of today is i am going to attempt to sew. one of my aunts is a great seamstress and she is kind enough to let me watch her sew as well as mentor me so that i can hopefully learn this fine art of sewing. 

wish me luck.

O' how I love flowers. 

I know last time I shared a song from Of Monsters and Men, but please also check out Dirty Paws. Another pretty song.

My guilty pleasure song that I will freely admit is Selena Gomez Love you Like a Love Song Baby, thank you sisters.

She knew she had changed too, but not as they had changed, and it puzzled her. She sat and watched them and she felt herself an alien among them, as alien and lonely as if she had come from another world, speaking a language they did not understand and she did not understand theirs. Then she knew that this feeling was the same one she felt with Ashley, with him and with people of his kind and they made up most of her world she felt outside of something she could not understand. 

--Gone with the Win/d

O' and the best news of this post. Beverly Faulkner was born! She was born a beautiful, healthy and long baby on February 7, 2012. So happy to be so close to her!

sweet nothings of the present

I am currently reading Gone with the Wind by Margret Mitchell and I am loving it. I fall in love with the movie every time I watch it, that now I want to fall in love with the book.

I also am loving Of Monsters and Men, they are a band from Iceland and probably my favorite song of theirs is Love Love Love. 

Lastly, I love these cookies.

they are delicious!

These are my sweet nothings at the time. Enjoy.

megan's about ready to pop!

This is at Megan's last baby shower! She is quite the cute pregnant lady because you can only tell that she is pregnant by looking at her belly. Aka she is tiny everywhere else, not fair!

Well, this is some of the Kakadelas' girls at Megan's ward shower. So excited for the baby to come!!

awesome sweet nothings

Nobody is perfect. Sometimes it is hard not to compare yourself to others, what they have, or what they do, etc.. Why not start focusing on what in your life is awesome! 

I like to tell my friends that I am awesome! ha

And I know parts of me are.

Okay so once a week I am going to try and share a few of my favorite things in life right then. Aka the sweet nothings in my life, about maybe one to five awesome things, hopefully I'll be good at this new goal of mine!

little treasures part two

my thomas grandparents were such adventurers! they traveled so much and i just love it. my grandpa thomas had a boat and a plane and pretty much i think he was always on the move. i love that even at the age of 75 they were still always going on adventures and doing so much. after my grandmother died about a year and half ago there were just a few of these little treasures that i wanted to keep. these old passports are a little treasure because they remind me of something i want. i want my life to be an adventure and i want to find someone who also thinks life is an adventure!

things to keep in mind…

my greatest adventure is you. - from the movie UP

and even as peter pan once said.. "to die would be an awfully great adventure."
