and because I am also a lover of the bow times....how could I not include this inspiration?

 Happy gift wrapping!!! 

Anthropolgie Window Display

Who doesn't love the amazing Anthropologie window displays??  I mean seriously!

Just google the window displays and here are just a few of my favorites that I have come across...okay, well actually this is all I had time for as I LOVE ALL OF THE DISPLAYS I have seen :)

So when I saw the sign on that fateful Sunday afternoon with the question -  do you want to help out your local Anthorpolgie with their Winter display? Um heck yeah I did : )

So here was the inspiration:

The supplies - minus the stapler

The work in progress

and the final product :)

 I think it turned out pretty cool, if I do say so myself.  

Lesson learned the creative director/team/employees, etc who make the displays, are creative geniuses! 

I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to help participate and  I can't wait to see future window displays!

Rest of the pictures are found via google search.

It's beginning to look like Christmas

in this classroom!  Two weekends, 106 cut out light bulbs, and two bottles of glitter we have Christmas lights!

I loooove the way they turned out.  Total satisfaction!



Happy December

Here are my What the What gifts:

Love That Makes A Christmas Wish List

I do not make Christmas lists.  I feel like I am the easiest person to shop for, however, I've been told otherwise, and since there will be shopping going on, this upcoming Holiday weekend, I figured I better get on it.  

So here we go - my 2011 Christmas Wish List

Tory Burch flats

Just Go With It

These lovely items from Gap



a Hot Chocolate Pot from Williams Sonoma

This BEAUTIFUL sweater

Anthropolgie gift card

These two books to finish out my collection

and a journal

and if you can find me someone who has the humor of Adam Sandler, the witty banter of a Hugh Grant, and a Bradley Cooper who loves his dog - well, that will be fine too!

 Let the Christmas season begin!

Happy Fall Friends

Have a great weekend!

Neeeew Yoooork

Snow in October?  Airport shut down? Oh yes, that happened on the recent trip to NYC.

 Let's do a little recap shall we of this trip, shall we?  I mean after all this place is "concrete jungle where dreams are made of."

Went to see a must see Broadway show - Wicked

I got some amazing new jewelry that I looove

Imagined owning a bakery like this one, one day....

people watched and ate pizza :)

Walked the streets

Went to Central Park

Viewed the greatest city in the world by night

and went to the Today Show and saw my favorite - Hoda Kotb!!!!! 

 Matt Lauer, I'll catch you next time!

and then there was snow which led to a cancelled flight, one extra night, and one super early wake up call to catch the new flight - whew.

I can't wait to go back - when it's warmer (of course) and see sooo much more that this city has to offer!
