good afternoon friends!  so i have officially "launched" this blog and it really took some guts.  i was battling with the timing and whether it was ready.  sometimes i would think that it was and then i would find this new, incredible, and polished blog and i would get scared.  like really scared.  but then i realize that everyone's blog started out somewhere and all the improvements and changes were made over time.  i'll just need to remember that now.  so if you're here checking it out, thank you dear soul..

the other day, jesse and i went around to some furniture consignment shops.  we love these troves of surprises and go on days off.  emilie jayne was our last stop and i found these gorgeous, vintage, scalloped dessert plates.  i have a weakness for special tableware, especially delicate, white, vintage-y pieces so i snagged them.  they are made of milk glass and the edges are so thin they are almost transparent.  emilie jayne is a great spot to find interesting tableware pieces along with home and furniture pieces.  they also have an amazing children's section of the store where you can find vintage play sets and cute little trinkets to decorate a nursery with.  unless you're like me and find toys suitable for decorating the mantle or bookcase.

any oscar parties in the works?  i love the oscars.  have a wondrous weekend..
