North Carolina State Flea Market

On Sunday we went to the North Carolina State Flea Market. The weather was so nice outside and there were so many cool things to see. Here are some of my favorite things that I wish I could have taken home with me :)

The Weekend {May 22-25}

This weekend one of our friends came to visit us from Atlanta. We were both friends with him in college before Eric and I knew each other. Here are some moments from our weekend :)

Inspired By Wisteria

Ever since I discovered Wisteria through Anne from the City Sage I dream about all the things I would love to order when I get their catalog in the mail. When I saw their shadowboxed shells I was inspired to try and make my own version :)

{my version}

I used a shadowbox frame that was originally given to me for the tassel from my college graduation. I covered the back piece of the frame with a piece of white cardstock. Then I picked a few shells from my seashell collection and adhered them to the cardstock with small pieces of foam tape. I can't wait to hang it up!

Catalogs Wishlist

I would say my style is beachy, casual, and simple. I love this time of year when stores are filled with items inspired by summer. Here are some of my favorites from the most recent catalogs :)

Fun Things To Do

{before}

{after}

I can't believe this will already be our second summer here in North Carolina. Over the weekend I was inspired to create this book while looking for visiting information on our local museums. I covered a small notebook I had with a colorful piece of scrap paper and labeled it fun :) After doing a little research it's filled with fun things to do that are free and inexpensive in and around Raleigh. I'll keep you updated on our adventures :)

The Weekend {May 15-17}

{went to see Star Trek}

{made banana bread}

{watched the movie, Bottle Shock, at home}

I hope everyone had a happy weekend :)
