Ooh la la...
French inspired goodies:
Pictures (in order): Dior Oui Ring, Bonjour Necklace from pianobenchdesigns on etsy, Miss Dior Cherie ad, Marie Antoinette silhouette, oui necklace from loleys on etsy, bicycle bag from ikabags on etsy, Eiffel Tower wall art from chuckebyrdwallart on etsy, Eiffel Tower headband from bethnaylorelle on etsy, and Eiffel Tower ring from jerseymaids on etsy.
I am especially partial to the headband, even though I'm not sure I can rock it properly...

Fun Wedding Bands
I love etsy. Plain and simple. There's so much fantastic handmade stuff of there, it's so much fun to browse through and find fun things that make me smile.
These rings are also known as posey rings. Back in the olden days men used to give them as engagement rings, and they were engraved with all kinds of phrases proclaiming love. I have one (from the Globe Theatre, but that's another story) that reads "Think of me, God willing". You can have these rings stamped with anything that you want (up to about 25 characters I believe). I want to get one made as a sort of class ring for college.
I think these are FREAKING ADORABLE! What a cute way to let the world know that you and your love are taken.
These are growing in popularity very steadily. You make a mold of the fingerprint you want inside (or outside actually) the ring, and you send it in. A few weeks later you get your ring with the fingerprint that you can always have on you. I think that these have beautiful sentiment, always keeping your loved ones print on you, literally next to your skin. It also helps that they're beautiful.
These are just cute. Mine. That little word conveys so much, especially when it's on a wedding band. When I saw this set for the first time the very first thing that crossed my mind was the scene from Finding Nemo when the seagulls are fighting over the food and they keep saying "mine, mine mine..." I love that the inside of the ring says "yours", more than I love that the outside of the ring says "mine" because really that's what marriage is about, belonging with the other person.
Okay, okay, this last one isn't a wedding band, but what girl doesn't dream of opening a little blue box from Tiffany? This (classic) ring is sterling silver and $125 dollars. Probably the least expensive ring from Tiffany!
Oh little blue box... You are beautiful...

My Husband is Amazing
So, sometimes I get a wild urge to do something that is completely useless.
Yesterday it was going to home depot to get paint chips.
Why? Because I'm designing our future house that we have no idea when we will have and if I will even like the things that I like for it now.
But, my husband is so wonderful that after we took our walk last night he agreed to go to Home Depot with me to get paint chips for me to look at while I design a house that we someday will have.
He thinks that I'm crazy (my word, not his) to be designing something that is far in the future, but I think it's just amazing foresight on my part. Because, when we do get a house we will be completely ready to decorate it. Especially if we slowly start accumulating the things that we want to decorate with.
You hear that honey? Your wife is a genius, and you are amazing. What a duo we make!

Home Office Ideas
Ya know, for when we have the extra room to have one!
I really like this one, because it doesn't take up a huge amount of space, and it also has quite a bit of storage already built in. Plus, I think that this one could be done pretty inexpensively.
I like the curtains on this one, and the openness of it. It's like it was never even a closet, which is really cool.
This one is just beautiful. If I could have it exactly as it is I would be perfectly happy! The color is just gorgeous, and it's set up so well.
Now this one would be a GREAT little craft nook, that I could just close up and have it all be out of sight. Now, the only thing that I don't think would work in here is my sewing machine, but you win some and you lose some. Actually, if I could find a bookcase that had deep shelves then I could convert one of them with a roller track to have a little pull out station for sewing one. That's something to think about.
Well, there's the inspiration for what will be my office/craftspace.

I'm in Love!
I found an etsy shop that is FULL of different, and adorable, versions of the keep calm and carry on poster from WWII.

I pretty much would love all of them, but that might be overkill, no?

Kindle, Kindle, Kindle
I was just doing some online research, and found out that the newest generation of Kindle is only $139!
That's crazy, I remember when they first came out they were way more expensive than that.
So, my idea is to get enough swagbucks gift cards to buy one. I need anywhere in betweeen 13,500 and 18,900 (because you can get different denominations for different amounts of swagbucks, and only five gift cards per month). If I did it with all $25 cards it would cost the higher amount and with $5 cards the lower amount.
The books that I read are all free on the Kindle. Well, not all of them, but a lot of them at least. Plus, it's super light, and smaller now (though still with the same size screen, yay!), so I could take a bunch of books with me EVERYWHERE!
So, this is my new swagbucks goal!
