Thrifting

The shoes are up in the shop now, with the matryoshka hanger.
The dress/romper will be up soon, as well.  
It doubles as a swim suit! It's handmade, and very cute :)

Mt. Vernon, Washington







Although we weren't with family on Mother's day, 
we did have the joy of Matthew's mother coming to visit us last week.
We took a trip up to Mt. Vernon and explored a little bit.
We found a really great restaurant and had some lunch.
It was a very nice day, and a beautiful town!

PS- are you dying for that chair?!
Me too.

Hey, Mama

Yesterday was Mother's Day.
 I love this holiday. I love the idea of setting aside an entire day just for the special women who raised you.
Unfortunately because of the distance and my work schedule, I was unable to actually be with my mom yesterday.
But she is, always has been and always will be the most amazing woman I know.
She's beautiful from head to toe and has taught me so much.
I hope dearly that one day I can be as strong a person as she is.
I love you mama.


But Mother's day, for me, celebrates a lot of people.
I am lucky enough to have two incredible grandmothers (and grandfather's!) who helped raise me, too.
I also have a wonderful step mother.
I am also close with my boyfriend's family, and his mother is someone I've grown very close to.
These people deserve recognition and love as well.
I would not be the person I am today without any of them.
So thank you, family.
I love you very much, and appreciate you all more than you could know.

What I'm Listening To:

Song of the week is definitely
Everybody But Me
by Lykke Li
I love her and have found a renewed love in this song lately.
Subsequently listening to it on repeat.
I hope I don't make myself dislike it.


Bold Pastels

I'm really loving bolder pastel colours for Summer Time this year.
As always, Modcloth takes the cake.
They have so much beautiful summer clothing!
I especially am loving the mint/aqua and yellows.
