Fall Cleaning

I stayed in this weekend and did my Fall Cleaning. I did six loads of laundry, stored all of my summer clothes, scrubbed the fridge, and even washed the walls of our little apartment.

When things get really busy and stressful, I tend to get very productive. If my To Do list is out of control and I sit still too long, I panic. So I don't sit still. I get Things Done.

Things will be getting done this week. 

In the meantime, isn't the above picture restful? Deep green and white is the most calming of combinations.

Oh nothing, just planning our invites

Happy Weekend!

It's been a funny week. Packed, but not busy. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about beautiful things: what the light in our engagement photos might look like, the sky limit of our wedding decor, beautiful things to put on my body, and what my future work may hold. Amazingly, the dishes still get done even if you're thinking of sparkles and silk while you do them.

And speaking of inspiration, Lizzie has inspired me to start brainstorming design ideas for my (small business) website. What's inspiring you this weekend?

Here are a few links to jump start your happy thoughts:

Hilarious customer service (via Anna)

I have a soft spot for pre-engaged pep talks

A quote every freelancer should memorize

Something blue

Something new (and oh-so-sparkly)

Layers of awesome: Horseback fishing

A one-stem bouquet: Hydrangeas are so pretty and simple

A fabulous home office

I love this simple aisle decor (from this post on SMP)

By the way, we booked our wedding venue! It's so fun to imagine it now I know what the space looks like.

Have a good one, darlings

File this under: "Duh"

Vintage floral brooch as boutonnière. Seriously, why haven't I seen this before?

 Genius.

Bonus points for raiding grandma's collection for borrowed imperfection rather than hitting the thrift store for the "perfect" vintage piece. Less stuff more life, people! There are bike rides to be had!
