Spring 2013 DIY: Vegetable garden

It's that time of the year again!  This year, BK added more fertilizer to the existing soil in our garden bed and we started planting!

On the menu: swiss chard and spinach (for smoothies), tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, parsley and mint

Vintage Monday: Heart Pyrex

Another estate sale score.  At most sales, I usually take a turn at the jewelry and kitchen first before heading to the other rooms.  This time, I was in the midst of rummaging through a closet when BK came in and said: "so you didn't want the heart pyrex?"   I high tailed it out of there and snagged this dish just in time.  Nice job, eagle eye!

New Orla Kiely + Method

I was so excited to see these new Orla Kiely + Method scents and bottles at Target this week!

New scents include honeysuckle, cloudburst, white nectarine (my favorite!) and tomato on the vine

 

Get to Target this weekend!! :)

Back to estate sale hunting again and snagged this turquoise blue enamel teapot by Finel!

I can't get enough of throw pillows and just snagged these two covers from West Elm.   They're having an additional 15% off sale items with code WKND15!

Wait it's 2013 already?

Hello blog--it's been a while!  Life got a bit hectic around the holidays, then crazy with the start of the school year, and an unexpected trip across the ocean thrown in the mix.  More to come soon! :)

ps--gotta love that random tourist hand in our otherwise pretty awesome panoramic shot of the Colosseum!
