Spotlight on: Reminded Designs

Not long ago, I received this beautiful necklace from Canadian etsy shop Reminded Designs:
You can see it on me here. 
I love the lariat style of this necklace...I think it is so creative!
Here are some more of my favorites from Christa's shop:

or on Facebook. 

I won the necklace featured at the beginning of this post from a giveaway posted on The Sweetest Digs. I was not asked to post anything about Reminded Designs as a condition of the giveaway. I think the pieces are so adorable and just wanted to share!

Have a great weekend y'all!

Bea Arthur and other randomness

Alright.  
My friend Patrick swears it wasn't him, so who out there was the anonymous bidder that paid $1.9 million for "Bea Arthur Naked" by John Currin??!

  Have I already posted this...
I think about this dress way too much. I just need to go out and buy it.
Anyone else bought anything in the Let's Cha Cha print?!

I'm currently reading:
 I've wanted to read this book for awhile now. I'm about half-way done and it has been really good thus far. Anyone else read it? What'd you think about it?

Loving this song so much:

Off to get my kids and then head to the pool! It's hot out there today!
Have a good one y'all!

Spring Polo Invitational

Good Morning!
The family and I spent a lovely Mother's Day at Hyde Park Polo Club for the Spring Polo Invitational.


 Look! A weimaraner! I am so obsessed with this breed.
 My daughter and friend Chris (in the scarf) stomping some divots.

 Me and my husband
 My husband and kids got me some pretty tulips and antique brass penguins :)

For some more polo pics, check out Desmond Kinlaw's blog, Chinos & Cheescake! You can see part of me and all of my cute Lilly insulated bag in picture 7 :)

Hope y'all had a great Mother's Day!

Caitlin Wilson Textiles

Well...we didn't get the house we put the offer in on... I secretly hope that deal falls through and we get another chance :)

While we wait for more houses to come on the market though, I've been daydreaming about decorating our new house.  We have been in an apartment since we left our house in Savannah back in October.  We didn't expect to be here past April so we have done zero decorating. We don't even have anything hanging on the walls. I'm ready to get started decorating...like...now!

I would really like to make a fabric headboard (or two) when we move. I'm obsessed with these fabrics from Caitlin Wilson.


I'd also love to have a few of Caitlin's pillows too...Two of my favs:

Currently...

It is currently 0808 AM. Within the next twelve hours, we will hear back from the seller of the house we put an offer in on yesterday.  Ugh. Waiting sucks. Waiting sucks even more when you know there are multiple offers and you just hope your offer gets picked!   I know that if it is meant to be, it's meant to be but I can't help but be a teeny bit stressed.

I could not sleep last night so I started the first Kay Scarpetta book by Patricia Cornwell
 I've read a couple more recent Scarpetta books but have always wanted to start with book one.  So far so good!

I just bought some of this the other day

I think I like it?  Idk.  I'd like it more if it was more coconutty. What's your fav LaCroix sparkling water?  I want to try some of the others.

Now run, run, run over to Danielle Moss' apartment tour on The Every Girl
It just went live today (yes, I've been counting down the days)
Here's a peek:
So obsessed!!

Have a great day!!
