Skinny Ties

Adam is going to be so happy to hear that I can now alter "fat" ties and turn them into skinny ties.  If you know my husband then you know that he wears a tie nearly everyday, dressed down or dressed up.  Once upon a time, Adam sold suits at Macy's.  He is adamant that a man's tie should mimic the shape of the man's body.  So since Adam is more slim, a skinnier tie is more proportionate.  He's been telling me that it probably wouldn't be hard to alter ties, but I just didn't really know where to begin.  Design Mom just posted a great tutorial on how to alter ties.  Now I must head to the thrift store...

Address Stamp

Adam and I have been meaning to get a self-inking address stamp (Adam insists it be self-inking!).  Wouldn't it be so much easier to just stamp your return address instead of writing it out every time?  Especially if you're sending things en masse!  Here are a few on Etsy we've liked:

I think we'll go with one of the more simple designs, that way it will work on any piece of mail.  I think the first three are my favorites!  Decisions, decisions...

Happy Belated Anniversary

So I had a post set up for our anniversary, but I obviously forgot to post it since it was last Sunday.  In honor of our anniversary, please enjoy (or enjoy again) our wedding dance!




And that photog's backside you're looking at?  None other than Jonathan Canlas.  Our wedding pics can be seen here.

Happy weekend!  I'm crossing my fingers I find some endtables for my awesome "new" lamps.  I'll reveal the final results of the lamps on Monday.  They look fabulous, if I do say so myself!

The Weekend + A Video

My sweet husband surprised me with an early anniversary date this weekend.  He had a friend come over to watch Rilo while we went on a picnic.  We picked up SLAB pizza and went to a nice grassy spot.  After our dinner, we ate delicious cupcakes from the Sweet Tooth Fairy, drank some Martinelli's and I opened my present...a Canon video camera!  I love it because I've been wanting to make little videos, but my iPhone is the old version, without video capabilities.  Now I can make fun family videos!  (Remember when you would have to watch hours and hours of tapes of home videos?  And remember those tourists who would film all the stars on the street in Hollywood and all the scenery?  Do you think they ever watched that?!  Thank goodness I can just download the video to my computer and edit the videos...so much nicer!)

 

Isn't this the most perfect picnic basket?  It was a birthday gift from Adam last September.  He is the ultimate gift giver!

And on an unrelated tangent: 
Here's a video I've been seeing all over the blogosphere.  If you haven't seen this video yet, you must watch it!  It is the new theme song for a "smart girl" talk show called "The Girls With Glasses", with Brooke White (American Idol) and Summer Bellessa (ELIZA magazine).  I am in LOVE with every single dress in the video.  They are supposed to be coming out with the source list soon and I can't wait!  I seriously have watched the video several times just to look at the dresses again.

Happy Birthday Adam!

Happy 25th Birthday Love! Here's to:

many more trips to Cancun so I look this tan...

dressing up and getting kicked out of skating rinks...

going on horribly expensive, boring train rides (that's right Heber Creeper...you were NOT worth $70!)...

and any of the other fun and hilarity that ensues when we're together. I love you!
