holiday decorating.

Over the past few years, I have been slowly collecting Christmas decorations.  I have amassed a nice collection of ornaments but I am still working on other decor for around the house.  I love vintage Christmas decorations and Etsy has the best selection around.  I got all excited and created this holiday treasury of my favorite vintage and handmade finds on Etsy.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I had a blast at my friend's wedding!  The whole thing was absolutely beautiful.  I wish I had thought to take pictures to share.  Oh well.

Happy Monday!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

holiday weekend.

I can't believe the holiday weekend is already over.  I had a great Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends.  I am so thankful to have such wonderful people in my life.

My weekend included:

a yummy thanksgiving dinner at my dad's house - playing lots of cornhole and board games - wedding dress shopping with one of my best friends who is getting married -  lots of nap time - hunting for the perfect christmas tree - putting up decorations while listening to christmas music - date night with the bf - watching college football with friends - and finally a nice relaxing sunday at home :)

 I hope you had a lovely holiday weekend as well!

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you need a little assistance picking out gifts during the holidays, you need to check out Gifted Magazine.  Gifted Magazine is the creation of Ez, the woman behind Creature Comforts Blog.  This holiday gift guide is full of lovely gifts for men, women, and kids.  There is even a section dedicated to the perfect stocking stuffers!   These items are just a few of my favorites from the gift guide.  Check out the rest of the great gifts here.  

Happy Friday!

whew!

I took my exam this morning and I PASSED!   I am now an Oncology Certified Nurse!  I am so happy.  I have been studying for this exam for months and I am glad to have it behind me.  Now I can get back to my regular blogging schedule and get excited about the upcoming holidays :)

Speaking of the holidays...I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week!  I am very much looking forward to spending some time with my friends and family.

Happy Tuesday!

july 4th weekend.

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!  After working Friday and Saturday, I was more than ready to begin my holiday weekend.  The BF was in town and we spent most of the weekend at the beach on Sullivan's Island.  The weather was beautiful and the beach was quiet and relaxing.  Most of the weekend was spent enjoying the sunshine, reading magazines, throwing the football, exploring Charleston, watching fireworks, and eating LOTS of ice cream.  It was such a great weekend.  Me and the BF agreed it almost felt like we were on vacation even though we were still here in Charleston :)

Happy 4th of July!  Hope you have a nice relaxing day!

toast rack.

I have been hunting for a toast rack for quite some time to store my bills, stationary, etc.  And I finally found one for the right price on Etsy.  I'm so excited about my little purchase! 

On another note, I had a great weekend with the BF and my family celebrating my little brother's graduation.  Maybe I'll post some pictures later this week!  Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

christmas

Christmas is in just one week!  Yikes!  I have a lot of holiday shopping left to do!  Hopefully I can knock out a bunch today (before the crazy weekend crowd).  Anywho, I am very excited for my family and friends to start getting in town this coming week :)  Can't wait to see everyone and enjoy the holidays with them! 

This little holiday room is so much fun!  Its very young and modern but still very festive.  Too cute.  Just what I need before a marathon day of Christmas shopping.  Oh, and this little song always puts me in the Christmas mood :)

Happy last minute Christmas shopping weekend!
