Come Visit Me...


...At the lil bee today - Melisa asked me a long time ago to provide a list of 'Top Five Things'. It's a weekly series she has where bloggers share a little wish list...I have to say looking back at it - I wouldn't necessarily change anything, but a lot has changed since back in spring. #1 I have a very fulfilling and challenging job. #2 I am about to move into a new city and new home which I can't wait to design on my own with old and new additions. The rest is yet to come, like traveling all over Europe! But it's great to make these lists every now and then and most importantly - dream big. Melisa has one of my favorite blogs...thanks for having me! xo {image via adventures of a wayward duck}

It's been an eventful week to say the least. Lots of changes! I am so excited to spend the weekend with best friends in Chicago as one of my favorite couples gets married. Love to Molly + Ben. Can't wait to celebrate. Hope you have a happy fall weekend and enjoy Halloween. xo {image via Hannah and London}
