inspiration

I still love looking at wedding blogs because sometimes they give you great ideas for home decoration. I am loving these vases and mason jars wrapped in twine.

I am going to have to save this for, um, let’s say at least 5 months from now.

a happy town

This is the little fishing town of Crail, Scotland. The first thing I noticed was the bunting that was from one side of the town to the next. Such a happy little town!

One of my favorite pages from the latest issue of Lonny:

Recently while in Scotland they were having a sale at Cath Kids and I picked up the sweetest duck top for our little babe. Gender neutral, of course!

Ireland

Here are a few pictures from my trip to Ireland. We stayed in Dublin for 3 days, one of which was spent in County Wicklow visiting family members on Bryan’s side that we had never met before. It was a very cool experience. I think that next time we go to Ireland we won’t do Dublin, we will stay in the south and west where it is a bit more country and green.

I’m back!

Well, Bryan and I arrived home last night at 11 pm after almost 24 hours of traveling. To get from Inverness, Scotland to our little beach town in California we took a taxi, a bus, a shuttle and three planes. Very tiresome but we are happy to be home where the sun is shining and the ice is plentiful! I wanted to pop in to say hello and to mention one of my biggest regrets about our trip: not going into the TopShop in Edinburgh to check out their maternity section! My sisters went and told me about it but by that time it was too late as we were headed off to another part of the country the next day. Checking out their website I am now beyond bummed that I missed it. Not that I would fit into them quite yet, here are two dresses that I totally would have snatched up:
