MARIMEKKO

Marimekko was recently introduced to me by my soon to be mother in law.

It was love at first sight.

Marimekko is a company that designs and creates some of the most bold, yet simple patterns I have seen.

Ian and I were blessed to be given an assortment of Marimekko dinnerware at our wedding shower in Minneapolis.


Now, after seeing the collection at Crate and Barrel, our obsession has begun.

finishing touches...

gold say yes ''mrs'' necklace by Kate Spade

Jewelry.

The finishing touch.

Today I found the perfect piece for my wedding day.

I know the earrings I will be wearing-the rough cut diamond studs Ian bought me for my birthday, and of course I know the rings I will be wearing, but now knowing the necklace...
it just made it real.

BIRTHDAY WISHES!

I love birthdays.
They are carefree, fun, full of hugs and good food.

In the past few years, I haven't made much of a fuss over my birthday, but this year, however, I decided to celebrate.

That being said, I had no idea that my amazing co-workers had made the same decision. When I arrived to work on Saturday and walked upstairs to clock in, I was surprised by a decorated stock room,  a home cooked meal, chocolate cake, KATE SPADE knee high socks!!!, Coco Bella chocolates, and an over-sized card that made me feel loved!

Truly the best way to kick off a birthday weekend!
