happy weekend

Well friends, I'm pleased to share with you that yesterday evening I successfully passed my MFA thesis review and will be graduating in full regalia next Saturday. I really still can't believe I did it... Phew.

From the bottom of my exhausted heart, I truly appreciate your patience and support as I've tried to balance my school work with the blogging I love so much. Hopefully my new-found "freedom" and true sense of closure with 3 busy years at SCAD can lead to an even better Note to Self in the future.

I may just have some secrets up my sleeve to share with you soon... ;)

Have a fabulous (long) Memorial Day weekend!!

Some goodies from the week...

ONE thank you to a Pinterest commenter who lead me to this lust-worthy china pattern - J.L. Coquet's Hemisphere stripe TWO mentally noting Sugar Paper's darling gold foil dotted coasters  for a gift idea THREE  crushing on the illustration and lettering style of Ryan Gillett FOUR BH&G's recipe for Lemonade Cake FIVE wondering if anyone can pull off these fab giant "light burst" earrings ($103) SIX tempted by Club Monaco's recipe for a Lemon-Thyme Soda SEVEN loving all things Izola (letter openers, flasks, and snarky cocktail shakers. All good things in my book.) EIGHT eying these Tibi sandals... on sale! ($138) NINE will definitely be pre-ordering this memoir (thanks to Fallon.)

Enjoy!
