April's Wedding!

It was a busy wedding weekend for us as Phil's cousin Brian got married in Houston and my dear friend April got married to her beau Greg in Fort Worth! Phil went to Houston with his fam and I stayed up here to be one of April's bridesmaids. April was a beautiful bride and I had a great time catching up with old friends who I rarely get to see these days.


Heather wanted to take a picture of my reflection, funny girl!

A shopping we will go..

I have a great boss. She is young, fun, and we have a lot of the same sense of style (except for her Gap hatred.) Hopefully she doesn't find my blog because I tease her about being old all the time and I have to keep up appearances. So, we decided that we would take a day off from our lovely workplace and go shopping! Phil and I have been slowly (ok maybe very slowly) decorating our house over the past few years. But I am still on the hunt. We need a new coffee table, end tables for our bedroom, and lots and lots of art. I love to collect inspiration pictures, and this is what I'm liking right now: gilt end tables with antiqued mirrored shelves, Seguy's butterfly prints, folk art, and impressionist paintings, especially acrylics like the below by Elin Pendleton.

Introducing StellaDallas!

My friend Ginger's sister just opened this absolutely adorable new store. It is located at Lovers and the Tollway, and if you are looking for one of a kind pieces, you have come to the right place. I love Amber's style, and she has a fun way of taking traditional antique pieces and painting or recovering them to give them modern flair. She also has a fabulous collection of gift wrap and stationery, and gifts such as jewelry, candles and lotions. So stop by if you are in the area and say hello! This pic was taken before the store opened. Currently, there are the cutest chairs in the windows.

Caught on Tape

I guess you can't embed youtube videos on blogger anymore? Does anyone know how? I know I've done it before? But here is some cuteness that I caught on tape. Of course it is the dogs playing. I love how at one point Patton gives the camera a stare down from across the room.
