Salt Cellar

I love my Salt Cellar!!

It came from Home Goods a year or two ago. Its a mini cast iron pot with a lid. It's really heavy ... very sturdy and I get so many compliments on it. It is the one thing in my kitchen that has taken up the most topics of conversation. Super cute... right??

What do you use for your salt cellar? Did you find something random like I did?

Baby Fever!!

Two of my very best friends are preggo and I am thrilled!!! One is 13-14 weeks along and the other is 34 weeks!! Sooo needless to say we should have a baby here in the next few weeks and not just any baby... my god-baby!! 

A couple of weekends ago i threw my very first baby shower ever!! It was such a great time! I took on a couple of fun projects for the baby and the event over the last few months so this week I will try to share them!!

 Starting with these super cute baby name letters!!

Stay Tuned!!

Chunky Monkey!

I've lost three pounds in the last 3 weeks... I'm trying to eat a little smarter. Less at lunch and better snacks (I normally have candy stashed in my desk) like veggies and fruit. I'm not trying to lose weight ... just trying to make better choices when it comes to what I eat. Oh, now my point...

Last week I was at the an annual festival in Atlanta and my hands were swollen. My ring finger was almost to the point that it was a dark purple-blue color. After a bit of a struggle my rings were off my finger and the blood was moving again... but why did it happen and how did it happen after I had even lost some weight? I know your fingers can swell in summer months, or if you are dehydrated so I didn't think much of it since we were outside in he sun. But it continued to happen this week... so my question now is... do I get my ring resized?

I don't want to jump the gun, but I don't want my ring to not fit all summer either. I'm not really sure how they resize a ring in the first place. Do they thin it out? Do they add gold? And how much exactly is this going to cost?

I know what I'm going to be searching on Google tonight :)

WOW... T-I-R-E-D!!

 
I couldn't sleep at all last night. It was one of those night that you just can't fall asleep and once you do you can't stay asleep kind of nights. I was hot, or couldn't get comfy, or a tiny little light from outside was in my eyes... needless to say I have no energy at all today.

I went to ehow.com to see what I could do to perk up in the energy dept and this is what I found!

If I am going by this list... I have already broken rules 1-4 (the sugar overload of candy at 10:30am was probably not my smartest move today), 5 and 6 I am working on... #7 is crazy because if I try to take a 10 min break at work with my eyes closed I will be sleeping on my desk, and 8 and 9 are more for at home time.

Now, I know these are more of a get into a routine and feel more energy over all but I was looking for a quick fix. :)

Flower pots and fun colors!!

I just happen to have a sweetheart boyfriend who sends me flowers every once in a while... when I'm good ;) The best part... he understands that I love the flowers but I love love love the pots and vases the flowers come in even more! What can I say I live to repurpose!

This once super cute flower holder now is my bright and bold counter top utensil home!! Sooo great right? I didn't even have to paint this one... I loved the orange and just went with it! I am thrilled that I did!

Gotta love that boyfriend ;)

I love TARGET!!

Check out these retro style steel breadboxes!! I found them at Target ON SALE!! I got them each for $10 and thought they would be super cute in my craft room!!

They are perfect for storing anything! I stacked them on top of each other on my desk and love them!!

I got mine at my local store... but they were still listed on Target.com yesterday! They have matching paper towel holders, canisters and trays too!

I love Target!
