Dear Santa,

Here is what you might find on my Christmas list...

First up are the Matine Toile Quilt & Sham from Pottery Barn in Dark Porcelain Blue. I have been eying this bedding for a few months now, and I think it will go perfectly with the plan I have for our master bedroom! The bedroom will definitely be a all process, but I am excited to get the yucky tan paint off of the walls and give the room an actual style. I have seen this bedding used a lot in other bedrooms and it always looks fabulous! Here is a picture of the beauty:

Here is what it looked like in The Lettered Cottage:

In the future, I hope to paint the walls similar to the picture below. I have had it saved on my computer for awhile now and I just love the way that it looks. I don't know where I saved it from. If it is yours or you know the source please let me know so that I can add a link.

It will definitely be a ton of work, but I feel up to it. Let's just hope that Tommy is...lol.

The second item on my list is a black digital watch. I know this sounds strange, but I have been looking for one for awhile now. Black is perfect because it won't get dirty looking at work (where I sometime have to get my hands dirty) and digital is perfect because I can glance at it quickly and see the time (I am always in a rush at work). I can always find black but the digital part is more difficult to find in an attractive non-sporty watch. Here is what I found:

 S+ark - Black Silicone Glitz Digi Watch from Fossil

As for clothing, I have been trying really hard to make sure I only buy items that my closet is missing. When I go into my closet in the morning and think... hmm... I can't wear that skirt until I get a yellow cardigan to go with it. This way I am adding outfits and only buying one item. This is a change from my previous philosophy which was: buy whatever you like and worry about if you have anything to wear with it later.With this said here are the items missing from my closet:

Here are some things my closet is missing:

Happy Birthday Thomas!!!

HAPPY 27th BIRTHDAY DARLING!!!

Today is my wonderful husbands birthday. For his cake I decided to get creative and come up with something different that he would love. While searching through my computer pictures I found a rice crispy treat cake that I knew Tommy would die for. He love's rice crispy treats, the problem is that he is always the one who does the cooking and I do the eating. This time I had to figure it out on my own. So, I got to work researching the classic treat recipe and making the cake. I am quite happy with how it turned out. It looks very cute. I used our beautiful Pottery Barn "Emma" cake stand to hold my masterpiece.

Once he got up we sang "Happy Birthday" and blew out the candles. We being Pepper, Toby and I.

I would say it was a very successful cake, and Tommy said it was delicious!
