How were all of your weekends? I went to the flea market with my buddy M and finally bit the bullet on the chair I’ve been wanting to take home for months (see: no. 24 on my 101 list!). Yay! It’s in great condition (though a bit dusty), and at just $60 stacks up well to these lovelies on the Pottery Barn site (which retail for $400!!).

Here it is after I dragged it up three flights of stairs to our apartment:

Stay tuned for my plans for it!

We also stopped into an adorable tea room filled with delightful things. I had to restrain myself. A few pieces that caught my eye:

Pineapple tea bag holder (which I would use as a spoon rest and found here online)

A white-on-white pineapple planter

Distressed trophy cups

Adorable vintage-reproduction hankies. M snatched up a few of these for her bridesmaids’ bouquets. I love this idea! See how cute?

Happy Monday!

The perfect polka dot dress doesn’t come around every day, but I think this one comes pretty close to the peak of polka dot perfection. (How do you like that alliteration?) Find it at — of all places — Delia’s.

Since I don’t like when bloggers leave me hanging after posting a query, I thought I’d update y’all on my TOMS situation. I am now the proud owner of a pair of gold herringbone classics! You may recall that I was waffling between the gold herringbone, gold glitter, navy, and ash. I was happy to have someone else decide for me — these were a Christmas present from J’s parents! I must say, after wearing them for a month or so, I am loving the gold. For anyone who’s considering buying them, I would wholeheartedly approve — they are super comfortable, and fit true to size. Plus, they help a great cause!

Wanted to share my 2011 valentine offering with y’all! It’s become kind of a tradition to make a new “punny” card every year for friends and family and the P&P Etsy shop. First there was “Olive you:”

Last year it was “I love ewe!”

This year, it’s “Love you tons.”

Hope you think I’m as funny as I think I am :) All three designs are still available, and you can purchase a single card here or a set of six (at a discount) here!
