Things I Love This Week. Turkey Day Edition.

All I have been reading, seeing, and hearing is Christmas talk! Poor Thanksgiving gets the shaft every year! Come one people. How can you skip over a holiday that allows you to eat ridiculous amounts of turkey, dressing AND stuffing and then take a nap afterwards? This is a dream to me!

I love Thanksgiving and I WILL NOT let the holiday get swept under the rug by Christmas which is like SIX WEEKS AWAY!

So this week I show some love to Turkey Day (a bit early because you have to plan and such) and all it's glory!

Things I Love. Turkey Style!

Perfect for your table.

A cute table setting.

This would be perfect for a kids table, too. We always had so many family members at Thanksgiving that the kids got their own table!

Place Cards.

With the acorns sold in the shop you can make these.

You could, I probably couldn't therefore I would BUY these!

A cupcake AND a place card holder.

Two birds, one stone! (No pun intended!)

Thanksgiving Cocktails.

We always have this Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole AND mashed pototoes.

And no Thanksgiving is complete without the Turkey!

Things I Love. Wedding Edition.

We went to a wedding this past weekend and it was fabulous! So, so fun and so pretty. It got me thinking. If I had to do my wedding all over again would I do it exactly the same as it was 2 years ago or would I add some new touches and take some away?

I looked around and found a few things I would add but there was never a doubt that I would take anything away from that day. I loved every single detail!

Here are my favorite "Things I Love" for a wedding and some ideas I love for future renewing of vows. I need to get the hubs on the train for that one!

Great Mementos.

Antique keys with notes to the bride and groom.

Fake Mustaches for pictures.

Who doesn't love a great photo prop?!?

Signature drinks.

And perfect for you signature drink, paper straws!

Pennants.

The wedding we went to this weekend had pennants as part of the wedding decor and it was super cute!

Gifts for your guests.

Perfect for a rustic, outdoor wedding with a fire pit.

And when it is all said and done and you are Mr. and Mrs.

I love sparklers and had them at my wedding BUT holy hell they are dangerous! I got burned on my lip thanks to a flying ember. Not such a good idea in theory when you have a bunch of drunk people holding fire!

Instead this is so cute and much safer!

Things I Love. Owl Edition.

I am OBSESSED with Owls. Obsessed like I am with chocolate, wine, texting, my baby and Twitter.

I love them so much so naturally when it was time to pick a theme for our baby boy's nursery I gravitated towards owls. I didn't want a super boyish, sporty or jungle animal themed nursery. I wanted something modern, clean looking and fun. Something that would still be suitable for him in a year.

Of course Etsy had a million and one owls and I went crazy one evening picking out tons of different ones to put in the nursery.

I also found some in thrift stores, flea markets, and a friend brought one back from Greece. I am always on the look out for little owl friends to add to Baby D's collection so this week's Things I Love is dedicated to the little owl friends I am obsessing over.

Wise Nesting Owls.

Tealight Holder.

Wooden Frame.

Night Light.

Pillows.

Stuffed Owl.

Owl Print.

Just in time for Christmas, a few Owl Ornaments.

And finally, the list wouldn't be complete without an Owl Hat.

Baby D actually has this hat and I LOVE it. Him...not so much.

Things I Love This Week. Halloween Edition.

There are always a million things in the week that I say "OMG!I love this!" or "I would love to have that!" So I decided I would do my own "Things I Love" post.

Thank you Amy over at BabyBabyLemon for the inspiration!

We are having a HalloWine Party on Saturday. You know a party where you celebrate Halloween and drink ridiculous amounts of wine? That kind of party! I have been obsessing over what to make and how to decorate for this party. I have spent countless hours on blogs for ideas and ran across things that I love! Many are way out of my league and budget, but I love them non the less! Maybe one day....

What I loved this week:

Candy Corn Cookie Bark.

Silver and Black Poms.

Halloween Inspired Cocktails.

A gorgeous backyard to decorate.

Amazing Pumpkins

The perfectly decorated table
