Good stuff

It's Thursday.  Here are the things I love today:

{one of my OOODLES of excellent finds from pinterest.  it's really fueling my obsession with fall boots.  not. good.  //image from One of Everything}

  1.  Pinterest.  I've been hearing (or rather, reading) tidbits about it over the past month, and I finally wandered over to the site last week to see what the hubbub was all about.  Needless to say, I'm obsessed.

{Okay, this is not, in fact, a photo of my serveware, because I haven't taken a photo of those lovely bowls and plates yet, but it IS a photo of the beautiful Kitchen Aid mixer I received at my shower.  ::love:: }

2.  My mountains of new serveware.  My bridal shower was this past Sunday, and now most of the tabletops in our apartment are stacked with the lovely gifts we received, while I reorganize to make a space for each item.  As we had a fair amount of kitchen gadgets already, a lot of what we registered for and received was serveware, and I can't wait to host a big dinner for family or friends and put it all to use!  I'm pretty excited already just imagining what it will look like set out on a simple tablecloth with some flowers or candles.

3.  Catching up with some of my favorite blogs.  Wedding planning + vacation + job stress + life = less time to browse blogs in search of inspiration and relaxation.  In truth, wedding blogs have really replaced some of the general life and craftiness blog reading I used to do.  It's nice to see what else is going on out there from time to time.
