Lets HANG out

So yesterday I came across this moose coat hanger... and I loved it so much I BOUGHT IT! Isn't it adorable? I've been looking around my house all morning imagining where I will hang it. I can't wait to re-negotiate my wall space and find a perfect home for my new coat hanger. {!} eee!

I purchased it from Monkey and Squirrel's esty shop. {Which is equally as adorable as my moose}

More below, check them out!

Thanks Monkey and Squirrel!

Oh nothing honey... Just rafting around the Atlantic

Check out this adorable story about an 85-year-old sailor who just  sailed around the Atlantic with three friends on the above raft. It took them 66 days. {WoW!} When accused that such a journey was "mad". His response was, "But it wasn't mad. What else do you do when you get on in years?"

I like his style. And check out that boat/raft, holy moly. 

Where Children Sleep

I came across this amazing photographic documentary of "where children sleep" by James Mollison

It really puts things into perspective doesn't it? ... and my heart is melting over some of those bedrooms.

Oh I could just take them into my own house... xox 

I'll take 3

Oh these dresses! I love white this summer, how beautiful are these?

And Affordable too! The Conscious Collection is all white... all white! I love it. 

I had so trouble deciding what to post from the site, everything was so good.

I suggest you check it out.

Oh that wall!

This wall paper makes me want to redo the walls in my entire house. (Seriously)

And I might be after some cute yellow boots too. 

I just love this scene. 

I found the photo on flickr so I have not idea how to find this specific wall paper but I did find a way to design your own wall paper. Wouldn't it be cute to have custom illustrated wall paper?

Brilliant Right?

Bell Pepper Egg-in-a-hole

(recipe EVERYDAY Food Magazine)

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 bell pepper (any color) cut into four 1/2 inch thick rings

4 large eggs

coarse salt and ground pepper

2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

4 slices multi-grain bread (I use English Muffins)

In a large cast-iron skillet or nonstick pan, heat oil over medium high heat. Add bell pepper and cook for 1 minute. Crack 1 egg into the middle of each pepper ring. Season with salt & pepper and cook until the egg whites are mostly set but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently flip and cook 1 minute more for over easy. Sprinkle with Parmesan and place egg on a slice of toast- or serve with an English muffin like I did!

Wow! What a great idea! I am dying to try this out now. 

Has anyone tried this out?

Be still my heart...

Anthropologie Swim Suit.. xox

Charles Schultz LOVE LETTERS (melt my heart)

This weekend Dave and I headed up to Tom's River to spend time with his family. We had a great time and we enjoyed some really delicious treats! {yum}

On our way up we stopped at the Reading Market in Philadelphia and on the same block was Studio 1026 that was hosting an exhibit of LOVE LETTERS from Charles Schultz... 

Yes of corse we stopped in! 

I read every single letter while Dave watched the people down below from the window. 

I laughed (a lot) I sighed and smiled through the entire exhibit. 

The tender glimpse into this talented cartoonist mind was endearing. 

He was so in love with "Tracy, Tracy, Tracy" as he called her. Reminding her that she is like no one else in the world and to call her well adjusted or normal was a crime. 

Their obvious long distance relationship was chronicled perfectly by his letters and sketches 

and allowed us to watch their relationship grow...

  I could do it all over again today if I was closer.
