thursday tidbits

greetings!  wouldn't this invitation have  been perfect to feature in my red, white and blue week?!  i love the americana feel of it.  i totally plum forgot to include it - i swear these two pregnancies and kids have totally zapped my memory.  it's in the etsy shop, and was featured on an orange county event planner's blog a couple of weeks ago.  woo hoo, as vicki gunvalson would say!

i think i need to "clean house" with my friends on facebook.  do you ever do that?  i actually don't, but i can assure you i will be doing a lot of "hiding" of people due to this year being an election year.  i get so annoyed with people and their political views, whatever they may be, being pasted all over facebook...like they think they're going to change somebody's mind or...who knows, really.  news flash - ain't happening.

anyway...i am "friends" with milly and i just can't be friends with them if they're going to post things like this.  don't show me, because then i need it.

and these, posted by milly too?!  the top two are kind of boring (i mean, i'd still take 'em) but the bottom two....obsessed.  

thanks a lot, milly!!  i've already mentally spent several c-notes.

speaking of glamour...  for all you potty-training moms, i have a new don't-leave-home-without-it item.  i feel like a freaking genius for putting this together; it's probably just total common sense and everybody does it...but nobody told me about it, so i'm going to tell you about it!

behold - potty training emergency kit consisting of new underwear, shorts and ziploc bag.  the ziploc bag is KEY because if you have an accident, you put the soiled clothes back in the ziploc bag.  awesome, right?!  i put rush's name on it so we can drop it off with him in the church nursery on sunday.

guess what?!  antiques & beyond (fab consignment antique store on cheshire bridge in the atl) now has a patio center!!!  how cool is that?!  it just opened in march, and is so big and awesome - much larger than this picture suggests.

in fact, i found some new planters for our back brick patio.  i'm going to plant some tiny boxwoods in them and will show you asap.  but i loved these too (they had a pair):

i'm off to enjoy the last morning of summer camp for rush...   i had to drag him in by one arm.  one of the teachers asked if he was having a "moment."  that's a nice way to put it...
xoxo
