Hey Four Eyes

I'm currently in the market for a new pair of glasses. Being as blind as I am, glasses have been a part of my life since 3rd grade. I came across this company, Spex Club, through one of my favorite blogs, A Cup of Jo, and you can "virtually" try on any pair of glasses. And they are all $88 with prescription included! Steal I must say.

pantry labels

These are so adorable! Shabby Chic pantry labels from Love, Mae. After living in the vineyard for a while, I can see why people invest in these airtight jars to store kitchen goods. And these labels make any kitchen so much cuter. 

Fishnet Nails

Lately I can not help myself but to paint my nails. There’s nothing like looking down and seeing a beautiful manicure, and I always notice other manicures too. One trend that is really helping the cause are the Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail strips. I couldn't believe how easy these were to use. As long as you really follow the directions to a T they will turn out great, and last forever. Mine started to chip after two weeks! two weeks! Where else does that happen?

Eleven Eleven Eleven

Happy 11-11-11 Day! 

I have always loved this day, being that eleven is my lucky number. Funny story: back in 1998 when I was a mere 15 year old girl, I always thought 11-11-11 would be my wedding date. This is by no means a hint to APM its just funny how we all think about how our life should be at a certain point and how different life plays out. I'm happier now than ever and thats just the way it should be.

Happy Birthday Momma!

The best mom in the whole world is celebrating her birthday today!

Heaven

This photo just incompasses all great things in one little snack. Jam, fresh bread, and cheese. And as you can tell by this post, I really do enjoy such things.

Back In The Game

(rock sculpture on the vineyard)

It's about time I get back into the swing of things! I'm not sure about blog etiquette but I took a long sabbatical from blog posting and I decided to rejoin my previous blog instead of creating a new one. Proper? Not sure but it just seems right :)
So there is so much to catch up on! I've had a big move and an even bigger career change. I am now living full time on Martha's Vineyard and am starting my own event planning firm. Very exciting! This is more of a Welcome Home post and I can not wait to start blogging again!
