Peaches to the Beaches

I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with Peaches to the Beaches, but I can explain in three words -- 200 mile yardsale. Yes, it is a yardsale that stretches from Perry, Ga. to Brunswick, Ga. And my friends, we conquered it all. My sweet trooper of a fiance, his dad and his dad's girlfriend drove along highway 341 all the way to the beach. Not only did we have an absolute blast doing it, but we found some pretty fantastic finds along the way.

From top to bottom:
1. Antique Blue Mason Jars - $15
2. Sailor Oil Painting - $15 (We call him Capt. Joe Mcrae Brunswick IV)
3. 1940's Clipper Ship Trash Bin - $14
4. Turquoise Pottery Bowl - $5 (fruit not included)
5. Antique Bread Cupboard - $10
6. Glass Pitcher - $5

Our New Apartment - Sneak Peak

I'm pretty sure this has been the most adult week of my life. To start, David and I moved into a new apartment last Friday -- an incredible new apartment! All I have to say is whitewash brick, hardwood floors and exposed beams. Swoon. A couple of teaser photos are below with much more to come as we get moved in. It's pretty much my favorite place EVER.

A recap of my day yesterday: I worked an 8 hour day and was super stressed out about my job, we have SO much to do and clean at the apartment, I currently do not have enough money to buy things that I want for the apartment and I actually stopped myself from buying them, our brand spankin' new washer and dryer were delivered(LG front loaders with STEAM, I die) -- and then the kicker, David and I sat down to go through coupons before going grocery shopping. Hello adulthood - nice to meet you.

Oh, and just for fun -- here are a couple pictures of the new loves of my life. I literally sat on the ground and watched after putting in our first load. Yes, this is my life.

Seafaring Affair

A big thanks to Etsy Weddings today for pulling together this collection of nautical treasures. I'll have one of each. Thanks.

I need a vacation

Dreaming of meandering through the streets of Florence today. Sooner or later we will get there. But while we wait, I'll just look at this really cool screen print of the city map.

Valentine's Cards

Life is busy, really busy, but I finally made time to craft. Thank goodness. I was afraid my creative genes were starting to atrophy. Here are the Valentine's Day cards I made for my Sailor and my mom with paper, scissors, a glue stick and a lot of TV. I hope everyone had a wonderful day with their loved ones!
