Weekend Round-Up (warning: picture overload)

As promised, here are a few pictures from the busiest weekend ever {er, I mean, this weekend I was privileged enough to celebrate lots of things with lots of people!}.

My sister graduated from college! 

Here are a few of the reasons I'm proud of her:

She won a trillion awards at graduation (hence all of the medals, etc around her neck)

She has the most caring heart - and wants to share it with children

She is freakin' gorgeous 

She moved to a new state and became everyone's favorite person

One of my childhood best friends got married! She looked STUNNING and the wedding decorations looked like an anthropologie window display. It was perfect!

And the icing on the cake?

I got this sweet fabric flower pin in a charity auction for a family trying to adopt a baby. I wore it today to pretend it wasn't rainy.

Our Master-ly Windows

The fabric I ordered a billion years ago arrived and now we have some bedroom curtains. Now our master bedroom feels so "master-ly."

We have had them up for a few weeks now and have used them zero times for their intended purpose {blocking out the sunlight} because:
1. I typically buy things based sheerly on aesthetic rather than practicality
2. There has been no sunshine in Missouri since we hung these puppies up

Chevron tray

My first purchase from One Kings Lane arrived during the chaos of the move. The original intention was for it to be put to use as a mail tray. It looks like, however, it is just holding two pens and a receipt at the end of our bed.

Was this practical?
