NEW IN THE SHOP: INSPIRING SENTIMENTS

Do any of you have a friend who always sends you a sweet note in the mail when you need it? I do! And her cards and notes always make me smile. I don't know what it is, but there's something about getting a handwritten note in the mail that you can hold in your hands that really does lift my mood a little more than a tweet or a text message does (not that I don't enjoy those as well!). I want to become that person in my friends' lives - don't you? 

That was the thought behind the new product in my shop, Inspiring Sentiments. It's a set of 10 postcards with a different uplifting, colorful quote on the front of each one and space on the back to write a quick note. You don't need an envelope - just pick the right card for the occasion, write something sweet on the back, and pop it in the mail. Some appropriate reasons to send one: a breakup, a big job interview, college exams, a career change, opening a business, going through something scary, etc. What do you think - Would receiving one of these cards in the mail make you smile? :)

Check out all the designs, and get a set for yourself here!

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND WITH THE FAM!

This weekend, my family visited us for my birthday, and because my sister and her boyfriend were on spring break at school. The weather couldn't have been more perfect - 75 and sunny all weekend - and we had such a great time! We ate at some of our favorite restaurants, went to a few parks, and spent a ton of time outside. My dad kept checking the weather to see what they were missing back in Ohio (cold & clouds) so I think they were happy to be in sunny Tennessee! We also happened to come across an animal rescue set up at a local park, and I think they were all tempted to take some puppies back to Ohio with them. My pants are definitely a little tighter today from all the barbecue, biscuits and burgers, but it was totally worth it. I was so sad to see them leave on Saturday night! Chester was showered with attention while they were here so he seemed pretty depressed when they left too. Here are some pictures from the weekend!

IF I WORKED IN AN OFFICE...

I would want to wear every single thing from the Loft Work spring collection! I love how affordable their clothes are (without looking cheap). A few of my faves:
