Things I Love Thursday

Here's to the last day of being 23! We're hoping to squeeze a fun little adventure into today before the weather gets all wet and yucky. Cross your fingers for us! It'd be just as fun for me as it would be for Toby so here's to hoping!

this glasswing butterfly ♥

this is the best parody of tumblr memes EVER. ♥

this. don't waste your ability! ♥

♥ i'll never tire of beautiful typography paired with the smiths' lyrics ♥

these business cards remind me of diana SO much! ♥

it's true. ♥

♥ socially awkward penguin is my life. ♥

maybe 24 is the year i learn to not suck at watercolor ♥

♥ um what?! ♥

♥ i miss the old office. ♥

Other Awesome Things: 

// This is such an insanely beautiful bedroom. But I know Mike would much rather sleep on the couch! haha 

// This quote from Amy Poehler:
"Only hang around people that are positive and make you feel good. Anybody who doesn't make you feel good, kick them to the curb, and the earlier you start in your life the better. The minute anybody makes you feel weird and non included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it."
// In case you're ever in the market for toilet paper with your Twitter feed printed on it, you might want to bookmark this website. Though it may make more sense to use the Twitter feed of someone you may not be so keen on. Too far? Maybe. They'd make a great gag gift! (Though I can't help but wonder what kind of quality it is... ha!)

// I love love love the idea of embroidering a map to show your travels and then framing it for your home! Memories made into decor! 

// Recipes: I will without a doubt be making this peach masterpiece this summer! -- I dare you to tell me this is not the most divine strawberry cake you have ever seen! -- Mango Avocado Quinoa Salad -- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Devil's Food Cake... and I can't believe I just typed that -- and finally, Roasted Spring Asparagus

// Blogs I'm loving lately: one (cutest girl!), two, and three

// Here's a pretty pretty birthday wishlist: These replica-esque Jeffrey Campbells (for 25% of the price!), This dress because I own nothing in this color!, this bag is the perfect alternative to the overtly neon garb for summer, this bright mint dress is stunning!, Polka dot flats (cheap, practical and darling!), and all of the remaining pink Kitchenaid items I need to fill out my collection (like the blender, cutting board, hand mixer, chopper, and food processer and maybe we can throw in a Cuisinart coffee maker to match?!... seriously, Mike is a good man for letting me decorate our entire kitchen around my Kitchenaid mixer! haha I just want pink things!)

// Have you heard about the 3/50 Project? It's a site/app that helps you locate "mom & pop" type shops so you can shop local and help strengthen the economy and keep small businesses afloat! So cool!

What are you loving this week?

  4. Happy early birthday. :)

    I used to feel the same way about watercolors, but the awesome thing about water color is that it is so free and it really can always look good.

    P.S. Those watercolors are about $5 at Michael's or JoAnn's (I can't remember) and they are amazing!

  7. The awkward penquin is my life- so nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks/does those things. I'd never seen that quote before about talent, and I am enamored. I might have to get it or create something with it to display in my room as a reminder.

    Definitely don't give up on watercolors. I hated them in highschool and for most of my life. This past month I picked them up again (I'm 25.) and now I'm obsessed.

  21. The week goes by so quickly, I do have to say I look forward to your TILT posts every week. I've never heard of a glass wing butterfly before, how stunning. Sometimes I fancy myself an unsuccessful person with talent but that would mean I'd have talent... I do however know plenty of talented people. I really kind of miss the old library card thingies in books, look at me, I can't even remember what the proper name is. That social awkward penguin sums up my life really well, especially 1, 3, 4, 8... I cringe about past embarrassments constantly. Cinderella, your castle looks so yummy. Love the map idea and the recipes all sound soooo good, especially that cheesecake - holy mo!

  25. When I read pink coffee maker my heart jumped!I was day dreaming about such a thing the other day, haha. I think you should add the pink CuisinArt ice cream maker to your list :) I have a collection of pink things in my kitchen too! Makes baking all that more fun!

  27. this is one of my favorite posts that you do. I always have so much to say as I look at it all, then by the time I get to the bottom I'm like "Crap, what was it again?" haha horrible memory here!

    I have to look at the LookLocal app, how cool! and that bedroom is simply gorg. Ryan would not have it either though.

  28. Happy Birthday!

    I love socially awkward penguin, so true to my life! And that bedroom will be all mine! I don't think that my boyfriend would actually notice if I did that to our house until ages afterwards, and by then he would probably have warmed up to it. I love how oblivious he can be about house-related stuff!

  31. Ahaha this whole thing is funny and great!

    SOCIALLY AWKWARD PENGUIN IS JUST THE BEST meme there is (Excuse the all caps, he's worthy of capslock) Honestly so relatable but also hilarious at the same time. :)
    That shark high five is also wicked.

  36. The first time I went to Disney World I was 5 and the castle was decorated like that for their 25th anniversary. It was absolutely amazing to see in person! Too bad it doesn't exist anymore. Happy Birthday :)
