Scenes from my week(end)

Go into Whole Foods for allergy medication and walk out with a hot pink orchid also. Perched in my brother-in-law's vase he gave to me three Christmases ago, I'm in love.
You should check out his website. Amazing artist!
Fun Fact about me: I'm a night owl~unless I'm wiped out and fall asleep at 9pm (like last night), but on many nights I'm wide awake, most always when Conor is out of town, painting my little heart out or working on other projects. And when I paint, I always watch It's Complicated. Weird and random yes! So I've seen that movie probably 30 times and it never gets old.
Two of my latest.
Valentines from the girls. They picked Disney Princess for their classmates.
They received a Valo~gram at school from us and were so excited!
Flowers from my sweet Hub.
He's the best!
Double-fisting candy
Sorting through their Valentines loot.
~The girls take over the kitchen~
When I start dinner, they grab their aprons and their kitchen supplies and love to help me cook. It can get a little crammed and chaotic but I love these moments with them. They really feel like they're doing something pretty special and that's really sweet to see.
Our nephew Baby Michael is getting so big!! Almost 1 year. Is he not the cutest!!
Fun fact about Audrey::
Audrey eats cherry tomatoes by the package. It's her favorite snack always. Tomatoes and blueberries.
New pair of running shoes. I'm so excited about them. I'm running my 1st half marathon in June with my best friend in San Diego. So it's official, the training has begun.
Mom, Audrey & I went antique shopping and found a few little treasures~
A tray that would look great holding my perfumes.
Painted with 2 coats of foil metallic spray paint and I think it looks better than new. I love it!
This picture is from a favorite blog I follow~ Live Creating Yourself. Her Chicago apartment is so eclectic and mixed with all different styles and I just adore it. After spotting these skinny, white candle holders on her buffet in her dining room, I've had a crush on them ever since.
Well lookie what I found for $1 a piece.
I felt like I won the lottery.

Hit up Home Depot for glossy white spray paint and it worked like a charm
These are very versatile and would work well as a centerpiece on the dining table for any holiday party or dinner.
The other 3 are temporarily on the mantle.
Happy Monday!
