Have you seen the new Oh Joy! collection now at Target? It’s party supplies at fantasticly low prices. I have held back from buying up the whole collection as I’m currently in the “spring cleaning” mood and am trying to de-clutter my home, not bring more in. I’ve done pretty good so far but I […]
I bought a wheelbarrow..
Not just any wheelbarrow but Anthropologie’s adorable hand painted wheelbarrow featuring a bright green base, a floral print, and handles wrapped in thick twine. Practical? Well..no. Since it’s hand painted you can’t really leave it outside and I’m pretty sure any dirt or rocks would scratch it up. As ridiculous as it is, I couldn’t […]
Pumpkin Carving
Jesse and I finally carved our pumpkins after having them for 2 weeks (thank goodness they weren’t mushy). It was a fun and quiet night in and brought out the competitive side in both of us. Bet you can guess who carved what 😉

10 easy DIY Artwork Ideas (No Art Degree Required)
Last week’s post, Easy and Affordable DIY Wall Decor Ideas, included unique ideas on how to dress up your walls using everything from vintage suitcase shelving to painting a geometric pattern on the walls.

Junkstock 2013
This past weekend was the long awaited Junkstock event in Omaha. It’s basically a huge flea market with around 80 vendors that set up their cute little “boutiques” on a huge ranch in west Omaha. You’ll mostly find vintage clothing and jewelry, refurbished furniture, and some awesome custom made pieces. Jesse and I went on […]
