Little Bit of This, Little Bit of That [Part 2]

  • QUOTE: “May you have enough happiness to keep you sweet. Enough trials to keep you strong. Enough sorrows to keep you human. Enough hope to keep you happy. Enough failure to keep you humble. Enough success to keep you eager. Enough friends to give you comfort. Enough faith & courage in yourself to banish sadness. Enough wealth to meet your needs. And one thing more: Enough determination to make each day a more wonderful day than the day before.” – Irish Blessing
  • DECORATING INSPIRATION: I have a recent obsession with bookshelves and find myself always on the lookout for a small trinket or good book to add to our collection. Our living room bookshelf is a work in progress and I’ve spent the evening looking for bookshelf decorating inspiration via Real Simple. Love it!

  • HALLOWEEN: Embraced my inner flapper girl this weekend! Took this silly Photobooth pic before our hair appointments….Aim and I ended up wearing two flapper-esque dresses we already owned and made fun headpieces! First Halloween out of college – weird, but still very fun.

This is my second “Little Bit of This, Little Bit of That” post – I have fun writing these recap-style posts a lot. Thanks for reading and I hope you have a lovely, fun, marvelous Monday!

Love,
Andi

Hello pumpkins! Happy Friday! What are your weekend plans? I’m excited to celebrate Halloween for the first time in San Francisco (costume yet to be determined), enjoy Sunday brunch and hit up a flea market! Here’s some lovely gems I found on the Internet that week – I hope they make today a little better! Enjoy your weekend! xo

This one’s for you, OU

Thursday Thankful List

>>> Sometimes photos just say a whole lot more than words. Last night, I was digging through old photos on my phone, camera and computer and couldn’t help but smile at how happy some (okay, most) made me.

Here’s a few – and in no way extensive – pictures documenting people, places, things, memories and experiences I’m beyond thankful for this week {in order of appearance}: the majesty of trees, Steeler Sundays in the dorms, cuddling with Mom & Max, old pictures of Cait and I, Britton, my beautiful cousin and best friend Erin, sunsets in Athens, Zach, delicious dinner date at Rosa Mexicano with Mom, sunsets near my parents house, Photobooth + Katie, cozy corners, pasta, roadtrips with Kerry, homemade notes from Pal, Dan and Ben, last year’s Halloween costume, art galleries, dressing up for Lady Gaga concert, chalkboards, snowstorms, my dad being weird and hilarious, that Aimee and I usually don’t look this sassy, nature walks, Courtney, this adorable card reminding me how much I love good friends (and good wine!), pictures taken without knowing, everything about my trip to Napa, two of my three girls, October resolutions.

 >>> I hope you have an absolutely fantastic day! I’d love to hear what YOU’RE thankful for – thanks again for reading! xo -Andi
