CURRENTLY COVETING {No. 8}

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine consisted of the following: 

a wonderfully sunny Friday off spent with my Mom {who came down to take my sis to the airport}... 

work on Saturday, followed by a late night outing to the Funny Bone to see comedian - Steve Rannazzisi - 

from "The League" {he was SO funny}... the Mr. and I heading out Sunday morning for a drive, 

which included a trip to our favorite coffee shop - Luck Bros.+ one of our other fav spots for lunch - North Star Cafe ... and the fabulous surprise of TWO face-time calls from my sister {all the way from Ireland}!

1. this assortment of cards from Rifle Paper Co. / 2. loving everything in the new Emerson Fry collection, but especially these gold coin necklaces 
{the lion is my favorite... on the lion coin "FIDUCIA, VIRTUS, AMPLITUDO" - which means "Confience, Courage, Nobility of Soul"}
3. Alice + Olivia "Crosby" knit top {we have this at the store!} / 4. this amazing brass cuff from KORA 
5.  vintage 1970s Robert Altman lamp... sigh / 6. Modern Vintage "Carina" bootie... why do you have to be so expensive?
7. my obsession with finding a few new hats continues... this one via Urban Outfitters

THIS WEEK / THESE THINGS {NO. 2}

Happy weekend! I hope it's wonderful.

This lovely quote found on Wit & Delight's tumblr page... hands down should be my moto. 

     Scout & Catalogue came out with a new lookbook! I first found these beautiful scarves one year  ago when Breanna, the designer, was the featured seller on Etsy. And I am still pining for one.     

How precious is this card - available for download here.

This clever post over at Pennyweight, pairing yummy food photography with beautiful bedrooms -  

        titled, Breakfast in Bed. 

       Now that I have my first pair of "able to be seen in public" glasses... I just want more. 

I am already planning my next pair, and they will be something tortoise like these glasses from Raen.

Asos Spring 2012 preview I found via Fieldguided. Just so pretty. I want every piece.

This print + many more fun and silly prints by Amy Sullivan, found on the Jealous Curator.

The fabulous home of Katie from Katie's Pencil Box over at Veda House.

Pecan pie french toast on one of my fav food blogs, Always With Butter

 This image I found on pinterest forever ago is still one of my favorites. 

It is my perfect outfit, and it just makes me so excited for summer.

SITES TO SEE

There are about eight to ten blogs that I read each and every day... usually in the morning while I'm watching the Today Show and eating cereal {I have to be doing at least two things at once}. One of these blogs is Emmadime - by the adorable Emma Robertson. If memory serves me right, I found her blog because one of her lovely scarves was featured on another blog.

Emma recently started a paper shop with Bre Radermacher of Moxee, and I adore everything on the site. 

I have been using their desktop calendars on my laptop for the last two months, and I will definitely be ordering some cards soon. Check out their site, OUR PAPER SHOP!

Another site you need to check out is Kinfolk Magazine. I first heard of Kinfolk via Emmadime. For those of you who don't know about Kinfolk, I feel inadequate to explain when they say it so beautifully here. Thanks to Kinfolk's community of talented artists, I have added to my list of daily reads {Pennyweight + Destined to Design 
+ Katie's Pencil Box}.   I just ordered my own copy of Kinfolk Magazine + I can't wait to receive it! 

p.s. Happy Birthay to one of the best friends a gal could ask for, Nicole!
