Lavender Ombre Glasses

January 14, 2013

While I was home over Christmas I went on a fun antiquing trip with my mom and sisters. It’s become a tradition {here are some of last year’s finds} and this year I scored this gorgeous set of lavender ombre glasses. Ever since Nicole posted about her ombre salad bowls I’ve been on the hunt for a set of something similar. I included them in a place setting for dinner last night while we were entertaining friends {along with West Elm plates and flatware} and I love the pretty bit of color they added to the table.

P.S. An exciting announcement on the blog tomorrow!

Inspiring Me Lately + Thoughts

Some random thoughts:

+ I’m loving this wardrobe editing chart. Definitely will be consulting it a lot this month as I clear out some unused items in my closet!
+ These BluePrint Cleanse recipes are next on my list to try. I’ve been wanting to try the cleanse and love the idea of making the juices myself. Any tried and true juicer brands?
+ I’ve been working on a really fun sewing project with my mom right now — can’t wait to show the results very soon!

Diptyque

Diptyque candles are some of my favorites — the packaging + branding are perfect, they all smell delicious, and they burn for a really long time. After finishing the Baies candle, the jar now holds my makeup brushes, but I’m loving the idea of using them for greenery + flowers.

I wanted to put together a collage of a few furnishings that are inspiring me lately — a few of them have inspired some DIY projects and antique finds that I’ll be posting about soon. Also one that didn’t make it onto the collage: these, and they’re on sale! After I saw Christine’s collection I had to go and check them out.
