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?

I know we’re not quite into spring yet, but I couldn’t resist putting together this soft pink and green board to drive back the winter doldrums. This wedding would be all about tiny, delicate touches — sweet poppers at each place setting, a softly shaded bouquet, a wreath of the most fragile spring blooms. And, of course, a cluster of AMAZING, oversize crepe paper flowers. Check out the DIY here!

Have you ever seen such a lovely and sophisticated application of pink in a wedding invitation? Not I. The gold edging, the Memoriam font, the fact that the bride and groom built them together… love it all.

It’s a Monique Lhuillier, photographed beautifully by Braedon Weddings. Gorgeous!
