i found on etsy

I have decided that I would love to have a vintage suitcase collection to use as decoration around my home. Maybe I'll start collecting in the near future. I found these here today, so fun!

And, I really need to start purchasing Piper some big girl hair clips. I have neglected her hair! I found these here and here. So cute!

And I definitely would love some new cute mugs, I found these handpainted ones here.

i'm busy pinning for fall

I'm already dreaming of a Fall wardrobe on Pinterest. Here are my most recent pins for Fall fashion (and a few other things to wear).

more yummies

I was spoiled this weekend with these yummy and delicious chocolate croissants. They were so good and I don't usually like croissants or chocolate in the morning. They are definitely served best fresh out of the oven and I will definitely serve these at parties. You can find them at Trader Joe's in the frozen section. Soooo good!
