Two Years this Month

Our 4th roommate is super cute. She has some issues with men, but in general has a very sweet disposition. Her name is Daisy and she's a Jack Russell terrier mix. My roommate (her owner) and I threw her a little anniversary party last weekend to celebrate her second year of living with us. The ladies came over and we made valentines, had cake and drank wine.

Movie of the Month: Amelie

In honor of Valentine's Day I had to pick something romantic. As it so happens, I love romantic movies, so picking one was unspeakably difficult. After weighing my many (many) choices, I eventually went with Amelie. First: It's set in Paris....the City of Love, so that was a natural fit. Second: It's about a lonely girl in search of her dream-man. Third: It is physically impossible to come away from Amelie feeling sad. It's so hopeful, so beautiful, so completely enchanting....

Why....I love this blog!

I love when people send me blogs they think I'd like. Shout out to Lisa Kay! So much inspiration to be found here:

The Charm of Charm Bracelets

I'll say it once, I'll say it twice: I love charm bracelets. Strangely, these haven't come back in the way I thought they would. I'm not talking about the modern day "Italian" charm bracelets with square shaped beads that tourists buy. I mean vintage bracelets like this and this found on Etsy. I also appreciate this chunky 3-charm bracelet pictured above.

Home Sweet Home: Rachel's Ballard Loft

One of my dreams is to live within walking distance to a farmers market. My brother's lovely and talented girlfriend, Rachel Linkhart, recently moved into a studio apartment above the Ballard Farmer's Market in Seattle. For those who have never been to Old Town Ballard - it is the epitome of quaint city dwelling. Rachel, an apparel designer (and my own personal fashion guru), has decorated her new space beautifully. During my most recent trip to Seattle, I was able to sneak a few pictures...it's not completely unpacked, but I'm already blown away by it charm.
