There are few things I love more in this world than the act of sending a letter in the mail. Now that I am far from my Richmond friends, I have the perfect excuse to bust out the ol’ pen pal system (and of course all my cute pens, stationery, stamps, washi tape, etc…)!

Here are some additional items that I am requiring as part of my “start up” kit!!

1. Knot and Bow Pencils.

2. Poppin Lime Green Pens.

3. 9th Letter Press Bonjour Mon Ami. An incredible shop. You will fall in love with everything!

4. Designer’s Guild Postcard Set.

5. Rifle Paper Co. Hello Card.

6. Ashley Brooke Designs Stamps. So adorable. Also, I just discovered that you can go to the self serve station at the post office and print off your own forever stamps that are way cuter than the normal design they give you! I got the heart design (pictured above!)

7. Washi Tape. Essential to dress up that white envelope!

This weekend, write a friend! I guarantee you’ll make their day!

Have a great weekend,
Erin

What’s the most important detail for a new home that must be addressed immediately? The bar cart. Here are my must haves!

1. Obviously, you must start with a chic cart. These are pretty expensive and I feel like you could kinda DIY it. An old plant cart and some spray paint would do the trick I think!

2. Stripey Straws. In a cute glass or martini shaker!

3. A great cocktail recipe book. Mrs. Lilien can do no wrong.

4. A great print.

5. Pinapple Cocktail Picks. I mean you gotta put your fruit and olives on something right? Might as well be darling.

6. Gold Polka Dot Coasters.

7. Polka Dot Bottle Opener.

Cheers!

Treats for the Pups

Gahhh sorry for the silence yesterday, folks. Holy busy-ness! We moved into our new house (talked about here) this weekend and the dreaded task of unpacking has consumed all of my time. Not to mention I take boards in exactly 3 weeks from today so my off- time is doing some crazy last minute studying.

We’ve finally settled into the new house and all that’s left to do is hang the artwork (my favorite part!). I’m really wanting to do a gallery wall for the prints I’ve recently acquired but I’m thinking I need to add more to the collection first. I’ve got some ideas. 🙂

In typical moving fashion, the pup is super confused. He doesn’t have his same treat spot, his same toy spot, and his same run-around spot. What’s a dog to do??

He also hasn’t really grasped the fenced-in backyard thing. Yes, Wilson, you may go outside without a leash and for the love of all that is holy, go to the bathroom unattended. We’re working on it…

Here are some fabulous treats rounded up from around the web! Wilson would be over the moon for any of these… especially the bow tie. Hopefully Tad isn’t reading this right now as he is staunchly opposed to any clothing item for the dog. The nerve!
