etsy sunday.

wait...you're not shocked that I'm online shopping...again!?!? Rest assured...no purchasing...just drooling and wishful thinking:)

Etsy - I Love You, I Know Coffee Mugs $18 

our Keurig is, by far, one of the best things we got (from my coworkers - THANK YOU!!!:) for our Wedding. It gets a lot of use and it makes all those adorable mugs a reasonable purchase now;)

Idillard - R2D Star Wars Decorative Light Switch Plate $10

with the new house and knowing that we'll get a chance to do Homer's room all over again...there are some SUPER fun things out there that I'm so excited to get for him!! I'd like to keep it simple and I want to avoid a 'theme'. So little touches like this will be perfect:)

My Charming Colors - Baby Grey Lacy Pixie Hat $18

i didn't need another reason to want a girl...but here's one:)

etsy sunday.

Alexandra Ferguson: Let's Make Out Pillow $99 

i toyed with the idea of only putting the photo of this pillow on this post and calling it a day and leaving you feeling completely awkward;)

BUT I didn't. You're welcome:)


why must I constantly feel like spending?!?! Can that be my one and only downfall?! - I'm guessing Jacob wishes that were my only downfall;)

here are just a few things that I'm in love with at the moment. Few of many...many:)

Little Hip Squeaks: Hip Baby Blankets (set of 2) $81.35 

there WILL, eventually, be a baby girl. And when there is...so many fun things will be bought immediately:)

Baby Headbands (set of 3) $29.25 

The Merriweather Council: Hand Embroidered Initial Necklace $40

most of the jewelry I own has something to do with Jacob. My Heart. Smith. S. J. :)

jacob suggested the other night, getting me an 'upgraded' wedding ring on our 10 year anniversary. I'd never really given it much thought.

jacob picked out my ring himself and surprised me with it. I knew a proposal was coming...I 'encouraged' it;) BUT he resisted any and all assistance from me in picking out a ring. 

it was NOT anything I had expected or would have ever chosen, given the chance. But when he, excitedly, told me that when he saw that ring...he just knew it was me...I knew it was the perfect ring:)

As I've mentioned before, I don't wear much for jewelry...and I love that my ring is one of the only things that I consider super special and that I NEVER take off:)

i kinda forgot where I was going with this;)...WAIT. 

POINT: i won't ever have the urge to have an upgrade. Nope. No interest. And that's exactly what I told Jacob:)

Take me back to Spain on that 'upgrade' budget...take me anywhere. And I'll keep my ring just the way it is:)

etsy wednesday.

a few randoms that I most definitely don't need:)

UP the baby will surely need an adorable, teeny Christmas stocking:)

Etsy - Passionate Kitsch

Vintage Christmas Stocking $15

UP adorable clutch. I'm a lover of over sized clutches.

Etsy - Krust

Angled Clutch Grey $50

all i want for Christmas...

my little wants list for Christmas...although, I could have thought of about a million other things...which at the moment include:

- Chinese food...NOW.

- bath mats (jacob says the floor is too cold for his precious feet;)

- black yoga pants (size XL for this growing ace!!!)

and on and on I could go:)

here are just some favorites that I thought of off the top of my head...I'm sure I'll post many more in the hours/days to come:)

Urban Outfitters - Crosley AV Room Portable USB Turntable $160

Etsy - Gold Vermeil Initial & Lucky Horseshoe $43

Sephora - Chloe $110

ModCloth - Nouveau Boho Dress $57.99

Minnetonka - Calf Hi 3-Layer Fringe Boot $95

Aldo - Kallin $90

OR

DSW - Philip Bootie $90

want it tuesday. part tres.

FOUND: Girlish Whimsy - I'm addicted. And I've found 17 other things I must have. Holy crap. Immediately after I'm done being completely selfish and listing a million material things that I want but absoluttttely don't need...I'll do up a Good Day post to cleanse myself;)

Urban Outfitters $88
jacob has collected 2 boxes of records from his Gramps and we'd love to spend some nights in playing those and discovering some amazing old tunes! - I'm actually not sure that this will play those records, but you get the idea:)

Uncommon Goods $30
if mom hasn't already gotten us ALL our stocking stuffers...these look like they'd be worth EVERY penny! A Tampon Case. Who hasn't dropped a tampon on accident...well, I have...I want a case.

dooce makes me want it.

i actually had to STOP myself from looking at Dooce's site any longer. I was starting to despise the fact that I couldn't go out and buy EVERYTHING I was seeing!! They've got a new amazing house and some of the best things...random things...that a person could ever want/ask for!!!

Amazon.com - Electronic Labeling System $48.25

this is completely insane...but totally smart! I want one and I want one now. I just want to go around the house and get EVERYTHING organized. Files, cabinets, paper work....and I'd also like to actually get some of those things. Files,cabinets, paper work....;)
Courts - I KNOW you're drooling!!!

IKEA - Jonsbo Ilsbo Lamp $19.99

we have little need for light in the house because we are lucky enough to have a lot of natural light from some big windows in the living room. But I would get these and stack them next to the 3 chairs I have already stacked in the porch. And I'll just keep telling Jacob that there will be a place for all of it in our 'new' house:)

Sephora - Dior Black Out Mascara $24

lucky for me, I currently have a need for mascara. It's on the list of needs and has been for a few weeks but I just haven't gotten around to doing the shopping for such things as TP, hand soap, hair ties and mascara. At $24...arg...hard to put that towards mascara when I actually cringe when spending $7.99 on it...but Dooce has me swayed. Go big or go home.

The Container Store - Acrylic Drawer Organizer Set $20 for 6 pieces

we have been blessed with a few drawers in the house and Jacob has been blessed with a lady who needs countless amounts of hair ties, bobby pins and nail polish. These would be amazing for that dreaded 'junk drawer' and for my odds and ends.

does anyone else want to quit their job with me and go home and organize while taking 20 min. breaks from doing that to shop online? Afterrrrrr a nap, ofcourse.

want it.

you may think I'm wanting a lot lately...and you may be correct. I've got a hugggge urge to go shopping and I made a deal with the Devil last night (A.K.A - J). He wanted to go play video games till the break of dawn...and by break of dawn...I meannnn the break of dawn. He rolled in shortly before 5a.m. this morning. WOW. That's some serious gaming.

Am I NOT the best fiance in the world...yes, I know I am.

SO I sensed last night that he was very much wanting to go spend some time with his buddies (if you can count staring into a computer screen for hours on end without speaking a word to anyone but some random 15yr. old from Guatemala, 'spending time with your buddies')...SO I proposed that we make a deal! Famous last words:)

DEAL: I be cool with him coming home at dawn, after playing video games for abouttttt 6 hours straight....I get to go shopping.

Thank you very much.

SO to wrap things up. I've been eyeing up maps lately. I'm unable to find exactly what I need on Etsy...or I'm sure I'd get it there. BUT eventually we will have an office of sorts and I want to hang this map, from Crate and Barrel, on the wall.

I plan to put pins w/ labeled tags of the places we've traveled on it....one of the many things that me and J see on to eye on is traveling. We want to do it, kids, no kids...lots of kids. We'll be traveling for the rest of our lives!

PS. Oh my Christ (PPS. I'm not a religious person...so that makes it okay for me to say that;)...this map is ONLY $19.95. This is happening!
