(From a hike this past week in Lands End)

Things are looking up! I think we’ve found a new place (hopefully signing a lease today and then I can’t wait to tell you all about every detail of it!), the rain seems to be gone for a while and Jared is home with no more traveling in sight. Hooray! Plus, I bought this adorable vintage dress on etsy. I can’t wait to pick it up at the cleaners today and spin around in it this weekend at the park.

Other things to brighten your weekend:

Love this time lapse video of a tape installation at the Kate Spade store in Soho. Beautiful result!

Striped paper goody bags. Is spring finally here?

Loved reading about Rubyellen’s typical day with photos. Wait, you don’t pick fresh greens in the garden for your husband’s packed lunch? Hm.

Is the pendant banner pattern the new hot stripe?

Time for a chocolate chip cookie bake-off: this one vs. this one. You bake, I’ll judge the winner.

This weekend I’m joining in {a little late} with One Pearl Button in a sew along. We’re making this skirt, come join in!

Plus, a few new to me blogs I’m enjoying reading:
