Happy Galentine's Day

According to Leslie Knope, today is Galentine's Day.  Oh, you're not familiar?

It's kind of an awesome idea.

Photos from the weekend

Had a great weekend in Baltimore. But it went by too fast. Miss and love these girlies. And we missed Anna a lot. We did a lot of talking, walking, and eating. What else is new?

The Friday Find

Even though we are broke post-grads living in a rather unfortunate economy, Liz and I still make an effort to make our homes as cozy and nice as possible.  This week's Friday Find is all about craigslist, our go-to for cheap furniture.  Even though it takes some patience to sort through some of the junk, you can also find some great pieces for pretty cheap.  They might need some TLC along the way, too, but that's okay.  (We've done our share of DIY home-improvement, which we will post about in the warmer, more project-friendly months to come). 
I've been looking for a desk recently, and this one caught my eye.  $150 seems a bit pricey, but considering a brand new desk could cost upwards of $300 and this desk has a particularly unique look, I think it's a pretty good deal.

Liz found this awesome table on DC's craigslist.  The picture surely doesn't do it justice, but for just $120 (four chairs included!) that is a steal!

Even when I'm not looking for anything in particular, I like to check craigslist regularly just to make sure I'm not missing out on something amazing. :)

P.S. For more about reupholstering furniture, check out Little Green Notebook.  She does it all herself!

P.P.S.  It's almost Valentine's Day...If you're looking for something tasty to make for someone you love (yourself included!), I would highly suggest going here or here. 

Sweet & Silly Stickers

Every Valentines Day morning up until I went to college, my mom would always prepare a love-themed breakfast for my family before school.  There were usually strawberries, and always some cute (and slightly nerdy) cards that my mom had made up the night before.  (I specifically remember one with an owl saying "Be Mine?")

These stickers are right in that same vein - a little cute, a little nerdy, a lot loveable.
