design*sponge in Vancouver

I am so excited! I haven't posted in forever because life has been hectic but I HAVE to put something up because I am so excited. I got tickets to the design*sponge event coming to Anthropologie in Vancouver.

I was on the wait list & got an email this morning that I am in. My sister, Leah {who writes her Tiddly Bits Blog}, gave me Grace Bonney's book so I'll bring that to get an autograph. Will be meeting up with Ash & Sarah from Spread Love Events which will make the evening so much more fun. A couple of other girlfriends are on the waitlist. Fingers crossed we all get in.

Did I mention I am excited?

Back to School

September always feels like a fresh start to me... a clean slate. Almost more so than January 1st. The two big kids are back to school this year. Here are a few images from around the web to inspire those who are less inclined to get a kick out of the back~to~school~thing.

For those heading to uni or who just love books:

In case you need a little somethin' somethin' for the teach:

Happy Back to School!
