Bits and Pieces of Happy Things

Just some photos of things that have been brightening my days lately.

On a recent Michaels binge, I purchased this label maker for 3 bucks. I was nervous, because it was on clearance, it’s not the strongest looking thing, but I figured why not? It is EXACTLY what I’ve always wanted in a label maker.
So excited to go bonkers with it!

I love these men’s socks I got before Christmas. Comfortable and warm, perfect under sneakers or boots.
I only wish I could’ve gotten every color!

I love receiving snail mail. Since I started sending it out, I have gotten a few responses and, as I intended it for other people, it brightens up the depressing stacks of bills and junk. This one, from my friend Erica, included a two page letter that I can’t wait to respond to!

I’d look through past posts, but I don’t think I showcased my nail polish rack yet. To be honest, I could really use another one, because I have a lot of polish. I’m still using the lazy Susan Brad made for me, which showcases my most frequently used polishes. But I love looking over and seeing the organized bottles. It makes planning a manicure so much easier and it looks great, too!

So, both of my Instax cameras have broken in some way. The big guy bit the dust after I dropped it (on carpet, but not for the first time) and the photos wouldn’t feed out. The mini’s only flaw is that the flash doesn’t work. This means I can’t really use it in darker settings, kind of a bummer. However, I tested it out in natural light and it still looks lovely.
I guess this means I don’t need a new one, after all? Not that I’m opposed…

Since Brad set up the record player, I’ve made it a goal to get modern music into his collection, specifically my favorites artists and albums. I got these bad boys in the mail, and I can’t wait to play them. I now have both of Lana’s releases (LP and EP), Toro Y Moi’s Causers of This, Radiohead’s amazing In Rainbows, and Minus the Bear’s re-issue of Highly Refined Pirates, which is especially awesome because the record is an opaque white. My Amazon wishlist is chockfull of more albums, but they aren’t exactly the cheapest things, so I’ll slowly build the collection over time.

Sleepy pup #1 (Cali).
Snowy trees on a winter morning.
My mom bought me this mirror, which showcases my favorite animal doing my favorite thing…perfect!
Lucky Brand yellow skinnies I bought for $10 and my Minnetonka mocs.
I go nuts for donuts.
Mix ginger beer with white wine, and you have yourself a “Cork Soaker”…according to Cork restaurant anyway.
Hannah: Hapless Hunter Green. Love this color, but the whole Deborah Lippmann GIRLS collection is awesome.
Sleepy pup #2 (Artie).
Several of my Amazon purchases…there are more coming too. I HAVE A PROBLEM. God, I love books.
I am obsessed with this mug I got from Dunkin’ Donuts.

Little Artie curled up all cute and tiny.
Practicing crochet. No idea what this will be, but whatever. It’s a start.
Half bacon, half pepperoni pizza. Yum.

Bits and Pieces of the Week.

In Bleubird fashion, I thought I would share some bits and pieces of this past week.
I can’t believe the first week of October is coming to a close. But it was a really great week. It went by so fast!
And to top it off, we have a great weekend ahead. Brad’s cousin Shawn is getting married to the sweetest little lady and I’m so excited to be there and celebrate it with them! I have seen little glimpses into the wedding prep and I just know it’s going to be lovely.
Can’t wait to share pictures with you later. For now, here’s a glimpse at the past week.

The Oatmeal Cookie Crunch candle I’ve been burning all week.
A quick walk in the rain.
Delicious pumpkin spice cupcakes from my favorite spot, Canteen 900.
A new corkscrew and some super sweet wine from the Finger Lakes.
Multi-colored, fiery leaves. It really is Fall around here.

Have an awesome weekend, guys!
