Shoulder Candy

Remember how I said I love burlap? Just say yes. (In all fairness, you really should remember! Considering you're my best friends and I just said it in my last post....) I love everything burlap. Burlap pillows, burlap table runners, burlap Christmas stockings, BURLAP ANYTHING! It makes any room look 'french' in a hurry, therefore I like!

Well, a few weeks ago my sister in law Kim was in town for a wedding where the bride gave some of the cutest bridesmaids gifts, loosely based around her wedding theme. I squealed in delight upon seeing A BURLAP BAG! Heaven on a strap! I will be the first to admit that while I just love these bags, they're a little more 'beach' than 'french.' However, I would never use one of these as a beach bag only, these would make amazing summer bags! Now I give to you, JessBecause. I would buy from here simply because the name is so clever! This link takes you to an actual site, but the links on that page take you to an Etsy shop and from there I'm confused. I guess they now go by White Apple Threads. To top it off, they live in Encinitas, CA, the very city I would choose to live in if I could live anywhere in the continental United States. Thank you very much.
Look! They have a special deal for 6 or 12 bags specifically as bridesmaids gifts. Brills!

I Dream In White And Burlap

Anything white is a favorite of mine! (Except people...then I prefer tan, of the Mexican or Central/South American variety.) I just love how clean white is. And most of all, I love splashes of color amongst all white. Once Derek buys us our dream home (very soon, right Der?), I'll be able to install my all white dream kitchen! From what I hear, there's ALWAYS extra money left over to remodel after you buy a house!

Luckily for me, there is another person who also loves white! Dreamy Whites! This is her house people! Do you know who lives here? Dreamy white herself, white husband, and approximately five children. Maybe a pet, who knows?
How, how, HOW does she keep this place so clean?!?! I absolutely adore this house and couldn't ask for a more perfect home, buuuut, I just don't think there's any possible way I could live here! I like to start pretty much every morning with at least three coffee spills, white stains on my shirt from toothpaste, and hairsprayed nose hairs. Sadly, that means I do not EVER get to live in an all white, "french farmhouse." Isn't this home beautiful though?! Thank you for letting me daydream, Dreamy Whites!

I love burlap too!
