wish list || perfect for spring

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,

a smile, a kind word, a listening ear,

an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring,

all of which have the potential

to turn a life around." || Leo Buscaglia

Since it's a cold, windy, miserably wet day today, and I'm inside altering bridesmaids dresses for an April wedding [and wishing I was in NC for the afternoon!], I'd thought I'd share a few of the things I'm loving this morning...[that $80 lace cardi is currently only $14...I'm a fool to not snatch it up this very moment!] My current color obsession is actually peach and mint, but I just adore salmon pink and kelly green as well, they're such classic colors...and wear well in every season [but they make me think especially of Summer-time, so I love them even more!]

How about you? What are your favorite colors for Spring?

"Make me [more] fruitful by living to that love,
my character becoming more beautiful every day.
If traces of Christ's love-artistry be upon me,
may he work on with his divine brush
until the complete image be obtained
and I be made a perfect copy of Him,
my Master." || The Valley of Vision

Have I mentioned yet how much I love quiet Sundays? I love having a day that I can set aside to rest, to not hurry or get ready or have places to be...to catch up from crazy weekends like this last one!

This afternoon I made popcorn for the family, and we watched some movies...and helped Skyler search for a gift for his special-someone... ;) I came across Barberry and Lace, and fell in love with their quirky, colorful jewelry. Their prices are unreal, and you can even join their mailing list and receive 10% off your first purchase! How perfect is that? [I'm kind of reallllly in love with that teal sara ring, because it's, well, teal...and it shares my name. It was meant for me.]

"Thou blessed Spirit, Author of all grace and comfort,

come, work repentance in my soul...

melt my heart by the majesty and mercy of God...

teach me to behold my Creator,

his ability to save,

his arms outstretched,

his heart big for me." || The Valley of Vision

It's Tuesday! And I have the day off [five in a row, yay!]...

I adore Terrain. Ever since their first little introduction email popped into my inbox, I've fallen more and more in love with their products. But really it's Terrain's aesthetic that I love the most...you'll just have to check them out for yourself! Here are a few Terrain items that I particularly love at the moment.

Just some things I'm kind of in love with this morning [9 1/2 in the shoes, please...in case anyone has a sudden inclination to surprise me with them]... ;)

[dream list] >>polyvore-style

what I'm wishing for [2011]

Ever since I was a little girl, I made wish lists...things I loved to dream about, even though I knew I would never own most of what I wrote down. And I still make lists. They're a little more refined and understated than they used to be, but they still make me happy--even if I never receive anything on them! :) Here's my 2011 wish list...I'll continue to add to it, since this is hardly even the beginning, ha! It's a beautiful thing to dream...

Lovely things from Anthropologie...
