life is good. really, really good.

It's MONDAY people. 

It's not like you need [or want to know] every little detail of my life (like the fact I ate grapes and half a bagel for dinner last night). But sometimes, exciting things happen and I want to share them with you. So there. While me eating breakfast foods for dinner may not be something to get jazzed about, I have a couple things that are a step or two above that on the excitement level.

1. Michael and I are OFFICIALLY moved into our new apartment in Wisconsin. It's nice. And has pools. I'm happy. We get the good old internets hooked up tomorrow, which rocks. 

1. capitol building views   //   2. fireworks to welcome us back?    //    3. pool time with Martha
4. my little lyddie bug   //    5. we live for darts.      //   6.  wi coozies, mn beer.

2. I GOT THE JOB I'VE BEEN CROSSING MY FINGERS FOR! I'll be working for the company I was already a part of, but in the corporate side of things. I cannot even express how happy I am to be working for a company I love! We were shopping in Target when I got the call and I sort of did a happy jig in the bleach/toilet bowl cleaner aisle. Claaaaa-ssy. Since I'll be working with people in the Merchandising/Buying world, I get to dress up all fun for work every day. Yes!

1.  polka dot chambray & gorjana   //   2. happy color combo of the day   //    3. i own too many stripes and gaudy necklaces.

3. I need your help! I'm looking for new, great art to fill our apartment with- and would love any recommendations of amazing Etsy shops or other places to find beautiful prints/photographs/etc. Other than my own paintings and some maps we're going to frame, we don't have many prints for the gallery wall I want to put up!

1. garage sale finds to be framed //  2. my favorite kitchen art by pen & paint //   3. DIY, naturally

Give it to me- where do you find your art/accessories for your home?

No holding out on me!
