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!

Here are some of my favorites that are making Monday just a bit more perky after a long weekend of moving! We finally signed on our house and we could not be happier! I am back in Richmond for just one more week then off to Columbus permanently!

1. Hello Darling Print

2. DIY Pom Pillow on Living with Punks. She has so many cute ideas!!

3. MOR Macaron Lip Gloss. This lip gloss is the best!!

4. I am so excited that Columbus has a Madewell! I really want to go try on these Hepcat shades. I’m not sure how they would look on me, but they are darling and I’m in the market for a good pair of shades!

5. Mark and Graham Anchor Tote. So perfect for summer.

6. Dying over this necklace.

Hope you had a great weekend!!
Happy Monday!
