China + Crystal

Last week I went to El Dorado for work and while I was there I stopped by and picked up what has come in of our crystal. The whole way home I was thinking about how perfect it's going to look with our china! The china was a gift from Brian's grandparents-- their set of beautiful Noritake china. It's so gorgeous.

Soooo... what did I do when I got home? Set the table! Friday afternoon, for no good reason. Is it bad that it's Monday and I still haven't had the heart to pack it all back up? 

I think our beautiful new white linen "J" napkins fit perfectly! Time to plan a dinner party :) 

Happy Fall, Y'all!

Even though I woke up to snow (!!!!) on the ground this morning, I'm still celebrating fall! That's right, temperatures aren't supposed to jump from 70 to SNOW! 

I painted this little canvas last night after work. I saw the design on pinterest and just tried it out myself, don't worry- I won't reproduce it and sell it on etsy! ;) Just a little something for my personal collection. 

Happy FALL!! 

XOXO, 

Alex

Jewelry Wall

This project has probably taken me longer than any project to complete! Not because it was hard but because I just totally forgot about it. I bought all the supplies at Lowe's a few months ago... only to get home and realize I bought the wrong dowel rod and a few other things.....

yummy, yummy tomato soup

I have never liked tomato soup. Actually, I don't know that I had ever really tried tomato soup. I don't like tomatoes plain-- I love salsa, pico, all things of that nature. I also had never eaten a grilled cheese sandwich.....
