[warmer temps = walks outside + new treasures]

Sorry guys, I missed last week’s Friday faves. I blame the sickness that swept through our house over the course of the week: croup, double ear infection and pneumonia. Um, is it spring yet?

One of my most recent sale purchases was this J.Crew panama hat. My hope was that by buying it, I’d will warmer weather to appear. Well, it looks like it worked for a short period of time because the 70+ degree days have come and gone. Snow in the forecast for today 😦

I have been plaid obsessed since forever, so when I saw this chair in black buffalo check from Ballard Designs in the recent issue of HGTV Magazine, I tore that page out so quick and stare at it daily saying “someday you will be mine my pretty.” Creepy, I know.

Speaking of home goods, did you hear the news out of HomeGoods/T.J. Maxx/Marshall’s owner TJX?  They are planning to debut a separate, brand new home store concept this year. Um, yes please.

On a recent trip to Target I found myself in the office supplies aisle and stumbled upon this face ceramic pencil holder. I can’t wait to fill it with flowers as a perfect housewarming gift for my little sis.
