Man it was hot this weekend! I am sure everyone knows we are on day 25 of hitting 100 or higher- IT IS MISERABLE. I miss the east coast where we would complain about 90 (to their defense the humidity is was worse!) I do love these new cups from Lilly Pulitzer to take your iced drink to go! Navy Bloomers could be my favorite Lilly pattern of all time (maybe you could figure that out from my blog colors- I am a navy and pink lover!) But really every pattern is adorable!

The Big To Do

{ Find The Big To Do's for $28}

I love notepads. The Big To Do notepads from the girls over at The Macbeth Collection are beyond adorable! I have said it before, Macbeth does not have a bad design out there and that applies to The Big To Do's as well! The make a great girlfriend gift, teacher gift, or just pick one up for yourself!!

pads range from $8.00-$22.00}

A day late! (better late than never!) I get a lot of notepads- which I love- but these particular notepads I think are my favorite! They were a gift to me from the girls at Donovan Designs during our December sale meeting and I love how bright the pink one is yet still sophisticated! And who doesn't love some black and white damask?! What I love most is that the girls at Donovan Designs are super speedy and always affordable!! And for all you Bravo fans- Bethenny is a big fan of DD too!

Slightly Obsessed

I am slightly obsessed with the Gold Body Oil from Niven Morgan. Chances are if you were in Atlanta and came through the showroom I made you spray it on- and then you had to hear me talk about my obsession ( I apologize but not really bc the stuff really is awesome) It makes your skin feel like silk and Gold is one of my all time favorite scents! (Buy the Gold candles as well- you can thank me later!)

I'm baaack

Wow- what a week! I am back from the Atlanta show and it was AWESOME! We had record breaking numbers and I couldn't be happier with our work as a team! People were packed in the showroom and EVERYONE was buying! Love, love, love!!! I'll be back with some pictures and highlights! Also- check out the new Daniel Richards blog and sign up to get our constant contact email bc they are awesome!

Erin Smith Art

Have you read any of the Erin Smith cards in store and had to stop yourself from laughing? Me too! Whenever we had down time during market I would just pull out the deck and get a good chuckle in! Erin is halrious- and says EXACTLY what you were thinking! She isn't afraid to drop an F bomb and I only love her more for that! Believe it or not the faces are members of her family- I am sure they are pleased by her talent. These are a few of my favorites!

Waterfront Waterford

{Cups are from Cool Cups- find them at most stationery stores!}

Are you headed out of town this weekend? Or headed to a BBQ? These cups are great little hostess gifts! I love the Lakeside Lenox and Waterfront Waterford (maybe it is because I am getting married and I get asked about china a lot!)
