Happy Friday everyone!  It’s been another exhausting week, but I’m super excited for the weekend.  I’m heading up to New Jersey to visit my Dad, which is nearly always just what the doctor ordered when I’m feeling stressed and worn out.  I’ll also be heading into New York City for some Bridal Market fun and, of course, still working.  Speaking of which, have you all popped over for a tiny peek at my new project?  We’re getting ready to launch in a couple of weeks and I’m so excited!  I hope you all have fun and/or relaxing plans for the weekend, but in the meantime…

…a few links for your weekend!

• Letter totes!  I’m in love.
• A crisp black + white wedding invitation

Happy Friday everyone!  I’m heading out a bit early today, since my husband came down with a really nasty cold (or maybe the flu?) and I’m doing my best to take care of him – and try to squeeze in a bit of housework (something I’ve sadly neglected over the last couple of weeks while things have been bananas-level busy).  I’m also hoping to swing by a food truck cook-off a bit later today, and then later this weekend we’re hoping to accompany our friends and their adorable 6-month-old son on his first apple picking and pumpkin patch expedition!  Hooray for 3-day weekends, all very much needed to catch up on my to do list and give sick husbands some time to feel better.  But in the meantime…
