Looking for a typewriter

It is a ways away, but I'm keeping my eyes open for a neato typewriter that has some style to use at the guest book table for the wedding. Or, maybe I'll put it on a "notes to the couple" table... Or maybe both, I don't know.

I know some of my friends have a special place in their hearts for the retro typewriters from the 50's - maybe there is one sitting on your shelf just waiting for something to do?

But take a look at some of these photos. Aren't they lovely?

love this bolster

One of my challenges with this ever growing pregnant body is finding sleeping positions that "work". Right now, I have the whole bed with a mass of pillows and I can basically fall into the pile. But, soon that won't be the case. I've been looking at making a long bolster pillow to help with, well, bolstering me, and I like the look of this one, found HERE.

I haven't felt like sewing for about, oh, six months (or 26 weeks if you want to really know) but this last weekend I've been getting a hankering. I've been looking at pattern books at work, sorting through my threads, and now, the bolster. Yay!

My brother's wedding :)

My oldest brother Josh was married this weekend near Philadelphia. it was the hottest weekend ever. Records were broken all over the East coast. It goes without saying that we didn't spend much time outside.

Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

The book theme continues!

Here is another great item for the book theme. Found HERE. Love it!

Harry Potter!

I just got tickets! Yay!

I waited too long to get Friday night tickets, but Saturday at 4:20 is fine by me!

July 2011 is a month that is just brimming with activity and jubilee. My friend Rena surprised me by flying to see me this weekend (and we get to see HARRY POTTER together!) Dan is taking the Bar Exam (which means he gets to come home to me soon!), my brother is getting married, I get to see my sister, I get to see my whole family, and did I mention Dan is coming home?!

So this weekend can't get here soon enough. Let the good times roll!

June 26th

I am so happy to be able so celebrate my nephew's birthday today. He is turning 4 and one of my most loved people in the world. At the same time, I am sad. Jeremiah and Jessie are packing up the last of their life in Illinois and moving to what's next in Boston.

They have worked so hard for this phase of life. They deserve the absolute best that the world has to offer. But after this weekend our shared time of living in Illinois will be over. We came here in the same moving truck in August of 2005. Almost 6 years later, it will be hard to know they aren't a town a way any longer.

Wedding cardigan? I love it!

I'm getting pretty excited about having a Book themed wedding plan. On a totally unrelated note, long ago, I thought about how great it would be to wear a sweater at my wedding. Unusual, but alas! I've found proof that it is both possible and lovely (and really, if you know me, it totally fits my style.) So here are some pictures!



I guess I shouldn't say that was completely unrelated, as when I think of some of my favorite book people, most of them also happen to be cardigan people. I don't know if I'd wear one through the whole ceremony, but it would be nice to have something for the exit that is a bit comfy.
