I'm giving myself a blog-cation today, but thought I'd share this adorable video of my design assistant.

As you read this, I am almost home from my weekend in Vegas!

On my last trip to Vegas, I fell for these two spaces, with hanging lights and floating glass balls...

Top image - the John Varvatos shop. Bottom image - Julian Serrano at the Aria.


When I go to Vegas I usually shop, eat and sun. I'm not a huge gambler. But when I found the Sex & the City slot machine, I was kinda hooked.

As you can see, I was rolling in money :)

WEEKEND HOMEWORK / HÉTVÉGI HÁZIFELADAT

Elkezdtük leszedni a nappali faláról a tapétát. Előtűntek a festékrétegek, sőt még egy "kicseslyukra" is ráleltünk.

On weekend we've just begun to get off the old wallpaper. Some of the old paintworks appeared and we also find a "treasure hole" in the wall.

Here is something! Itt van valami!

Treasure hole / Kincses lyuk

Love Confession / Szerelmi vallomás

Stonecrop in bloom / Kivirágzott a kövirózsánk is

Hello 30, I Have Been Expecting You

Tomorrow I turn the big 3-0 and that is just fine by me. I started this decade of my life as a junior in college and I end it in such a different place it is crazy to think about. Looking back: There was the last year of college and graduation which seems like a lifetime ago. Somewhere in there I called a lot of places home: Oxford, MS, New York, Destin, Vail and Memphis before landing here in the 'Ham for the last 5 years. I was lucky enough to start dating Patrick at 22 and we made it through a lot (very long distances at times) but we have had so much fun together through it all. There was a lot of travel, most to see friends around the country, some more exotic-Africa, Chile a few times including Patagonia and Peru. After moving to Birmingham and working for the best mentor, life brought me my next big adventure- starting my own company. Who would have thought something could be so hard and yet insanely rewarding at the same time. I don't think the past decade could have possibly been more fun or exciting. It has been a wild 10 years and one of the best parts has been the friends I have made along the way. (I had plans to post a series of pictures throughout the years but that would involve more scanning than this girl has time for at the moment)

But as my ole pal Tom Petty says, "It is time to move on, time to get going, what lies ahead I have no way of knowing". My 20's have ended with a very settled and happy exsistence and I look forward to continuing that into my 30's. I love our little house, our quaint neighborhood and our easy going ways and routines. I can't believe how far the business has come and I can't wait to see where it goes. I spent the majority of my 20's with Patrick and I can't wait to spend next decade (plus) with him. And last but not least I can't wait for the changes that are awaiting us come the end of August....

So come on 30, I have been ready for you for a while now. Thank you 20's, you leave me feeling so blessed and very grateful.

Where I Was

I spent my Memorial Day weekend at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs - relaxing, decompressing, and watching hilarity ensue. Here are some pics I took:

While my husband and I had a fabulous time because it's always fun when we are together, the scene was a bit more MTV-Spring-Break then grown-up-weekend-getaway. The people watching was amazing {there WAS a celeb sighting - celeb blogger Perez Hilton} and the fashion choices were surprising {are thong bikini bottoms in style? because they were all over the place this weekend!}

We spent most of the weekend lounging by the pool, reading away on our Kindles, and did a bit of vintage furniture shopping but came home empty handed.

How did you spend Memorial Day weekend?
