Tonight!

I know I keep saying it, but life is in overdrive these days. All exciting, all good, and to top it all off I had my tarot cards read and they 'said' I'm on the right path! Phew! 

Anywho, one fun thing is my first event hosting tonight! Meet me at The Tannery (711 Boylston St- upstairs) for a shopping event with Bow & Drape. We also have four other local companies, and friends, coming out to show off their goods. Ministry of Supply, Blank Label, Sophie Hughes, and Chloe & Isabel jewelry. Plus, The Urban Grape will be dropping off some delicious wines!  Drinking and shopping always end well... right!?! 

Come by and check it out!

Saturday at Assembled!



Last week I mentioned I would be journeying to Somerville to check out Assembled, the new local art market.  Lucky me, my talented blogger friend Katherine of Style Tab was also invited and we had a fantastic time! The 100 degree sweltering heat did not stop up from eating yummy food truck treats and picking up a few crafty pieces.

I bought three of these paper flowers
Yum! Sausage, pepper, and basil wrap from Away Cafe food truck. (Plus, live music!)
Sweating on the blacktop.
Sarah Wormann Art - love her drawings!  <-- check her out on Etsy
Give me ice cream!
Thanks again to the team at Assembled for having us! After I move apartments, I will definitely be hitting up the market again for some vintage furniture pieces...and maybe when the temperature is less Amazonian.

Where: Assembly Row, Grand Union Boulevard, Somerville, MA
When: Saturdays through September 21

Let's Get Assembled

Earlier this week I was super excited to be contacted by the team repping Assembled, the new art fair in Somerville.  Gotta love seeing more fun and engaging activities pop up around the city!


Here's how Assembled describes itself:

"Each Saturday over the summer (excluding some holiday weekends) local artisans will be selling handmade items including gorgeous jewelry, clothing, house wares, bath products, and more! Combine that with live music and food trucks (Bon Me, Frozen Hoagies, & Clover – to name a few!) for a fun and festive shopping experience!"

The theme at Assembled this Saturday is right up my alley: "White Barn Heirlooms: Recycled. Reclaimed. Re-purposed".  Perfect timing that the bf and I were looking at some older, aka character-filled, apartments this week.  One apt had stained glass, built-ins, and a claw-foot tub! I mean, come on, you had me at the lace curtains on the porch.

Assembled is also hosting an amazing little game each week. Below are four images of products at the market.  If you find one of these items, you get to keep it for free!  Who doesn't love a scavenger hunt?! {My heart is set on the tiles in the last picture... hint hint}






Follow me on Twitter and Instagram to see what I find!  You can follow Assembly's tweets too {@AtAssemblyRow}, and their hashtag {#ASSEMBLE}. 

I can't wait to see what the vendors have for our {hopefully} new home!

Homespiration

I'm moving... and even though we don't have a new home yet, I'm already designing each room in my head.  Aka Pinterest took over my day today.  I stumbled upon Lauren Conrad's website and her advice about couples moving in together.  I'm taking her advice and creating a {secret} pin board to show the bf and gauge his reaction to certain styles, colors, and pieces of furniture.  I can't wait to show you how everything turns out!


Check out my "A Place To Call..." board to see my dream homes and inspiration.  After the bf gives his feedback, maybe I'll make a public board to share a man's perspective and give some advice from my experience. {Sounds like a future post plan to me!}

Wish me luck!

M.I.A


Please excuse my absence.  I spent the week of the 4th surrounded by my favorite people, drinks, and bodies of water.  Above is Brant Lake, NY.  (But don't go there, because it's kinda our hidden gem.)

This week, my work life has been hectic (big news ahead), and the bf is without cell service until Sunday in the mountains of Maine.  It's kind of nice to have some solid time of no communication; me-time, and maybe a bit sad, but not lonely.  Plus the welcome home hugs are the best best best kind of feeling.

Until next week.... Happy Weekend!
