Delightful Cermics

I was browsing etsy the other day and found these adorable ceramics. The are made from scratch by etsy shop Fruit Fly. One way they make their ceramics is by using vintage ceramic molds. These would be fun planters or vases to bring a little spice to your room. I think they would also be great gifts.

Here are some cute animal ceramics in action from some great bloggers, Simply Seleta & Peacock Feathers...

Happy Friday!

This weekend we'll be celebrating with our good friends Kevin & Melinda as they tie the knot! Hoping that the rain stays away, so they will be able to enjoy their cute little farm wedding!

Then I'll be saying goodbye to the hubby as he leaves for India on Sunday. Thankfully this trip is only for a week! I'll miss you lots!

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

More design that makes me smile.

All these interiors were designed by Durham, North Carolina designer Heather Garrett. I love her layering of textures, old, new, contemporary, and personal items. She also has a shop in Durham, that I can't wait to check out. Find more of her beautiful and calming interiors here & here.

Sorry about the lack of post lately, I've been in a little bit of a blog rut. Hopefully, I'll be out of it soon, but in the mean time enjoy some beautiful interiors by designer Palmer Weiss...they make me smile.

More Plates

Another inspiration for my plate wall project. I've been hunting down fun plates over the past month, but I still need a lot more.

Big Week

It's a big week for my family, so posting may be limited as we prepare...

First, football season officially begins. On Thursday night North Carolina State University starts it's season against the University of South Carolina...GO PACK! My husband and I have been getting the house ready because it becomes the official hotel for all our friends during Wolfpack football season, we're one of the only couples left in Raleigh so everyone crashed with us. We also have to prepare for the big tailgate, and yes we're taking a day off work just to tailgate before the game. It's the start of a fun, but crazy time!

Second, I'll be heading to New York City bright and early Friday morning with my mom and sisters for a girls weekend. We'll be starting the weekend by going to the US Tennis Open, and then shopping, shows, and good food.

Family Time

I look forward to the day that me and the hubs have a family of our own, God willing, so that we can have family dinners surrounded by family memorabilia. I love the tables above surrounded my family pictures and kids artwork. What's around your dinner table?
