Fun Thrift Store Find





Last Friday I found this chair sitting outside at a local thrift store. It caught my attention right away. I knew we had to get it when I saw the price tag said ten bucks! It's in pretty good shape; the only noticeable wear on it is on the edge of the arms. It had a skirt around the bottom of it that Nick ripped off to expose the pretty wood legs underneath.

Inspiration for an Upcoming Birthday


Our little girl's first birthday is just a couple short months away, and with Thanksgiving and Christmas in between I know we are going to be busy! So, I've begun planning it already. This post is really more for me to put my ideas down on paper...er, the screen, but you know what I mean.
So, here goes. For colors I really like orange, pink, and teal. I found this adorable felt garland on etsy and think I'm going to make one myself.
I also love the pink and orange rock candy and the ribbon tied on the cake plate in this cute display.
I've asked my grandmother if she could knit a replica of this oh so cute cardigan. I think it would be perfect for Olive to wear with a long sleeved onesie and some leggings underneath!
I adore these tissue poms (and I already have some in our house in different colors), but I'm just wondering if they would be too much since we'll already have the garland.
I'm thinking these invitations would be too cute!...or at least something similar that Nick could come up with.
I love the patterns on these pinwheels.
We'll just have to see how it all comes together!
