Pendant Lamp Round Up

 I am looking for some new pendant lamps for above my island in my kitchen. I want two of the same right next to each other. Here are some options I found today. I am leaning toward the bottom left.

Any opinions?

 The pendants need to work with this chandelier – I plan on getting this for above my kitchen table.

Happy Monday

Yesterday I had a pretty productive day. I cleaned a lot, did some homework for my MBA program, baked cookies, made caramels, and ordered some fabric!

I love Fleur De Sel Carmels by Barefoot Contessa (my favorite food network star). If you have never made caramels before one HUGE tip. Always remember to check the temperature of boiling water. Normal water boils at 212 degrees. Depending on weather and all sorts of things water can boil and other temps. For instance yesterday the water boiled at 206 so when I waited for the caramels to cook I subtracted 6 degrees from the temperature in the recipe. If you remember to do this your caramels will work perfectly every time!

Here are some fabrics I bought for some upcoming projects from fabricguru!

 Can’t wait for them to come in! Hope everyone has a fabulous week!

Bridal Shower Invite

Hey All! Glad to be back! February was so busy! Hope everyone enjoyed Laura’s posts last week! She does so many good projects. Before I left for vacation I put all the Bridal Shower invites in the mail. Since everyone has gotten them by this point I wanted to share them. I am not very good yet at photoshop so I sketched out what I wanted and my boyfriend helped put it into reality.

This Week Guest Blogger

While I am off for the week catching up on some much needed sun my sister Laura is going to be a guest blogger for me! I am PUMPED for you all to see some of the awesome things she is going to put together for you! Here are a couple things to know about her.

She is 1 year and 9 days older than me and pretty much my twin. She is a certified Interior Designer that has worked for different architect firms here in WI and also in Denver. She is also like McGiver. She can pretty much do anything: paint murals, electrical work, help dad out on the hobby farm. Any time I get some crazy idea she is usually the one that figures out how we can execute together. She is also getting married this summer!

So I hope you all have a great week – talk to you when I get back – hopefully with a tan.

Review of NYC

 Hope everyone is having a great Saturday. I have been rather productive! I am leaving for a vacation to Cancun tomorrow so I have been doing laundry, swimsuit hunting, and cleaning. Anyway – here are some fun pics from my visit to NYC. Isn’t this Kate Spade pop up shop fun? I also got to go C Wonder – Loved it!

End to a Busy Week!

Happy Friday! The last two weeks have been a blur. Two work travel trips in a row makes the weeks a little hectic! New York was fun this week however I had so many meetings I wasn’t really able to enjoy as much as I would have liked. I did have a nice Sunday afternoon shopping in SoHo where I found this pop up Kate Spade shop. So cute! I will share more pics tomorrow. One more busy day to get through until the weekend!
