50 days of cute friday (saturday)...

i know, i know. i didn't come back last night with the post i promised. carl and i went to our friend's house for a game night and didn't get home til late. i was so ready to crash, so we went to bed. but, here is yesterday's 50 days of cute!

top...banana republic

jeans...old navy

sandals...target

bangle...gap

my friend courtney and i went to some garage sales yesterday morning and i found some fun stuff...

i think the thing i was most excited about was the fabric. or maybe this...

it was only 2 bucks! the frame is terrible and will be removed, but i loved the colors! i think this will find a home in our dinning room. speaking of dinning room, we got new furniture. well, new to us anyway. it's been in our family for a while and it's really old. my parents are thinking around 100 years! i love it!

our china cabinet. i've started to put some things in, but still have a little left to do. carl and i didn't register for china when we got married. we aren't very fancy and china seemed impractical, but my granny gave us a set that belonged to my great aunt. her name was mary valentine and i like to think she was glamorous. i mean, with a name like that, how can you not be? i think what makes me the happiest is knowing that this cabinet is full of memories and things that belonged to my family. from mary val's china, to the tea cup and saucer my mom gave me at my first wedding shower, to some of my nana's dishes, it's all just special. and even though we will probably never use any of it, it's nice to have. and i think we all need a little fancy. the furniture is rather big, and since our dinning room really isn't, we moved the buffet table (is that right? what would be a better name?) to the living room for our t.v. :)

while my parents where in florida picking up the furniture and visiting family, my mom picked me up these...

i've been wanting an owl cookie jar for a while, but didn't want to pay the crazy high prices. the cheapest one i've seen was still 60 bucks! my mom got this one for $20! and the little pink owl teapot is so cute. it's already found a home in the china cabinet. and one more owl for you today...

my coworker, ashley, got me this for easter. it's so cute i don't want to eat it! carl said he would eat it for me. :) sorry this post is so long. that's what happens when you don't blog for a week!

happy easter everyone! tomorrow we will celebrate the day our Jesus conquered the grave! good day...
