Lyndsey, remember this is the chair we were going to get from Ikea? Well, when we went back we saw the one that I actually was trying to find in the first place. There was only one, the display, so we had to ask if we could buy it and it was on sale too! So here is the one we thought were were going to buy:


And this is the one we actually bought . I think I was inspired by this:
Layering patterns.
My vintage seersucker skirt I got at Goodwill and chopped a good 5 inches off the hem. More summery length and the fraying edges give it a dressed down feel.
The boyfriend jeans outfit I threw on to rediscover the magic of the public library.

Stephen and his massive sandwhich...yes, that is ONE sandwhich, not two on top of each other.
The cake I made for Amber's b-day. Dark chocolate fudge with raspberry sauce drizzled over the top and raspberries and blackberries.
Our re-arranged living room after Stephen's ecstatic idea of making a bedroom into a "media-room" (read man-cave).
