oh what fun, baby shower decor

My brother & sister-in-law are having a baby girl so time to throw a little shower for the both of them! The baby room has a modern woodland theme using neutral gray, a bold dark raspberry & pops of yellow artwork. So the theme for the shower was yellow using mostly the gifted artwork as decor.

I really love the neutral burlap paired with this bright embroidery.

is there an apron on your list?

I found myself shopping for an apron for a gift and coincidentally I have an apron on my
want list this year. I am one messy cook and an apron is a necessity. I've decided in order for
it to be practical it has to have a pocket, be a full apron (none of this skirt business), and
I've got to be able to toss it in the wash and know it'll get cleaned up easily.

one of my favorites

Capri Blue Candles $28 each: Aloha Orchid, Mandarin Mango & Volcano

Now that the weather is a little crisper outside, I've been burning my favorite candle (in fact I'm burning it as I type). In my opinion these Capri Blue candles are the best. They last forever, they look great, and oh the smell is like nothing else. Every scent is distinct, beautiful and makes your entire house smell great for hours even after the candle is put out. I found these little gems at Anthropologie years ago, they last longer than any other candle I've owned and they are worth the the price. One more thing I love about this line; these hand-poured, eco-friendly candles are made in Starkville, Mississippi (yep, the good ol' USA!).

Capri Blue Candle-in-a-jar $25 each: Mandarin Mango, Currant, Volcano & Peeled Naval Orange in mercury glass.
