my super cool friday


my friday evening was spent baking and decorating valentines cookies! it was so much fun! believe it or not, i spent a good three hours icing cookies. what a young, hip way to spend your friday night! right?!
a lovely conversation with lovely Crystal helped make the evening more enjoyable! thanks dear!






my favourite picture!

personalized cookies for Ryan and I!







Oh!
Earlier in the day, I went to Vintage in the Village on Osborne and found some pretty lovely things! First off: this awsome vintage green suitcase!

I think it will be an awsome wedding-day accessory!


 and a nifty carrying case for all my art school supplies....

 I also found this lime-green modern vase ornament.... I thought it would look super as an accent in a white kitchen!

 and then..... my favourite necklace of all time! an envelope! how cute is this?!?!

it even opens!!! so i can store all my romantic notes from ryan in here (i must not have very many romantic notes.... hehe)

well, thats all for now folks!
i've been addicted to Pinterest lately, so a lot of my 'blogging' time has gone to there! 
for those of you who are not on pinterest, i'll post a bunch of wonderful things shortly.

happy weekending!
Love,
R

v-day!

For years I have said "I hate valentines day".
But this year, I am realizing that I actually love this season celebrating love! I still think the actual day of Valentines is over-rated, a commercial bonanza to get us to spend money on useless things, and just all together awkward.... "oh, thank you for these flowers that you feel obligated to give me because every other person in the world is giving flowers to their women, thanks" 
And yet..... the weeks leading up to Valentines are fun! Things are pink and red, cute and pretty, frilly and lacey. I like it. I enjoy seeing people get creative to express their love to their love! Handmade cards, diy projects... I wish the world was this motivated to show love year round!

Here are some of my favourite valentine lovelies, from cards to diy to just plain pretty!




crayon hearts! I know what I'm doing this weekend!


















happy saturday all!
