happy anniversary, mom and dad!

Today marks the 30th anniversary of my parents marriage. Wow! 30 years. That’s pretty special. They got married in my uncle’s backyard, with folding chairs from a family business, under a canopy of trees. The picture on the left is from the day of their wedding (my two older cousins were their flower girls).

I am so thankful to have my parents. I love being with them and am so grateful for everything they have done for me and my sister over the years. The love and care they have shown for us is endless and I appreciate them every day. We are the luckiest of lucky. This I am sure.

Next week we’ll be together in Cape Cod and it can’t come soon enough.

Love you, Mom and Dad! Happy Anniversary!

I need something IKAT in my new apartment. I’m in love love love with it and I’m just trying to figure out how to tastefully get this look into my new digs.

I’m thinking curtains would be lovely.

Navy blue? Or dark teal?? With my nantucket-y red couches?

MMMM. LOVE.

I’ve already decided I’m making my own curtains. Buying is ridiculously expensive. Does anyone know how you get Ikat fabric? Thats not too pricey? Luckily, I don’t need too many yards cause the windows are on the smaller side.

Oh, I dreaming over here my friends. How’s your Monday going so far?
