Mammoth List

Look what I found... stumbled accross the Mammoth List of Interior Design Blogs on Furnitude... happy dreaming!

valentines day

So, it's Valentine's Day tomorrow - already! When we were dating, Dave and I decided we wouldn't spend lots of $ on this particular day, but rather make things or do something together. The tradition continued and so, I just finished making Dave & the girl's valentine's... a few ideas for everyone else who left it to the last minute:

A little something for the moms out there. For the last week or so, I've been waking up in the middle of the night because my wedding ring is bothering my hand... strange since it's not too small on anything... I suppose I'm just weird. Anyway, I have been precariously placing it on the night stand next to my bed, hoping and praying that it is still there in the morning. It's such an important symbol of Dave and my love, and since it belonged first to his grandmother (who has been married 60+ years!), just setting it on the table doesn't seem quite right. This morning I jumped on etsy to find a ring dish... turns out they're not just for weddings (you probably already knew that)! My favorite is by paloma's nest, and can be customized to read with any saying you can think of. This would make the perfect, thoughtful Valentine's day present for the special gal in any guy's life *hint* *hint* to my Dear Husband.
