“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.” - Gandalf

SEQUIN DREAMS

you know when you see something on pinterest and you’re like ohhhh i really want that and then you click on the link and discover it’s $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and then you just sigh and go to forever21 to see if they have a knock off? am i the only one who does that? tell me i’m not alone.

DIARY // FIRST TREE

major hottie.

christmas has come to the liira’s!! wooooot. seriously, all i want to do is make a mug of hot chocolate and sit and stare at the christmas tree. we also have christmas music playing 24/7. and leftover cookies from the baking exchange i went to…oh did i mention they’re almost gone…5 dozen…yikes (i’ve given some to guests i’ve had over, don’t worry!!)

i can’t do christmas with a fake tree. i just can’t. so this year we borrowed a tree stand (thanks richmond family!), ventured to country grocer and picked up this beauty. i did want to go to a farm and chop down a tree BUT it was much cheaper this way and it seems like a great tree. and mmmmmmmm it smells like heaven.

tonight is our staff christmas party…SO STOKED. oh and today i picked up louboutins (pics coming tomorrow!) from the thrift store for $70 (thanks Rayael for finding the goods!!) yay, it’s a dang good monday.

hope you have a delightful day!

ruffled contacted our photographers, AMERIS over a month ago and asked to share the wedding. obvsy i was over the moon! they had me fill out an online form, which took me forever but i’m overjoyed they included a lot of my answers.

MONDAY QUOTE

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” -C.S. Lewis
