restoration hardware

Yesterday I was reading an interesting post on one of my favorite blogs Cote De Texas about Restoration Hardware and their new line of pieces. They are done in Belgian design and are so gorgeous! She thought Target might pick up on this hottest new look so it would be affordable for the masses, as these pieces are quite pricey. I have a few items from Restoration Hardware but they don't compare to these new pieces. I love the lighting, just amazing! Check out her blog for real people's houses with good design that she spotlights, another reason I love reading her.

storybook bible

I've mentioned before how much I love the blog Fly Through My Window. Today she posted about a book that is so sweet and would be perfect for my grandson Noah. Love the words from the page on top. Something that is important to teach our children over and over again!

ace hotel palm springs

Our girls trip this last weekend with my mom, sister, sister in law and all our daughters was in Palm Springs. It was fun to get away with just the girls to relax and catch up with all the goings on. We all stayed in a one condo so it was like a huge slumber party, bringing back memories of our teenage years. Lots of fun! While we were there I wanted to go see the much talked about Ace Hotel. Since we weren't staying there we decided to go eat at their restaurant Kings Highway. Their restaurant is an old Denney's that they refurbished with what they call "american peasant food for the desert." The green vinyl booths were replaced with brown leather, and they changed a layer of linoleum to a terrazzo floor. They have French press coffee brewed to order, ice cold water served in bottles, a mini-milk bottle creamer, raw sugar in a little Mason jar. The food is very reasonable and the emphasis is on local and organic.The two favorite foods we ordered were the brisket burger and the fish tacos, very good. Loved all the decor, from the fisherman's net to the cute photo booth as you can see above in the photos I took of the girls. Next time I go to Palm Springs I will definitely stay there so I can enjoy the whole experience of this charming hotel!

bridesmaids cards

This is the cutest idea from Anna Bond of Rifle Design via Once Wed. She made little paper cutouts and decorated them like each of her bridesmaids and put their name on it. She then put them in an envelope with a note saying "Will you be my bridesmaid?" What a unique idea!

girls trip

Danielle is flying in from DC tonight. I am so excited to see here! She is coming home to go on our girls trip. My sister, sister in law and all of our daughters are going to Palm Springs. The last fling before a lot of our kids go back to school. Hard to believe summer is almost over, boy that went fast! Be back to blogging on Monday. Have a great rest of the week and weekend!
