As promised, here are some pictures from Jeff's 33rd rock n' roll birthday party we threw him (thanks to Mandy's blog and Jana's Facebook page!). A little costume explanation: Jeff is Angus Young from AC/DC, Seth is David Bowie a la Ziggy Stardust era, Mandy is Siouxie Sioux, I'm a kitty (with Peter Criss from KISS face makeup), Jerod was Brandon Flowers from The Killers, and everyone else was awesome 80's/ early 90's rockers. THANK YOU to everyone that came and gold stars to those that dressed up! Jerf loved his party. :)

I can now die happy. In my Danish Modern teak bed.
My mom once said "Teak is an endangered wood because of your father!" Being a descendant of his Scandinavian blood, I too am drawn to the Danish Modern design. These were the pieces that I was dreaming of, and scored this week for a deal and a half! We also sold our old bed within a day of posting on Craigslist which made the price even better.
Check it out! I love the seller and his "TA-DA!" pictures. Part of the reason I bought it.
The attached nightstands kill me. I love them. I especially love that little pull out shelf for the late night apertif. Or water. Whatever.
And bonus of all bonuses: it comes with a 6 drawer dresser and mirror! This is quality stuff too. Dovetail joints and solid wood. Niiiiice. The bedroom set came from the guest room at an estate sale where the seller said it had barely been touched since it was originally purchased. This will be Jeff's dresser, because the one that I already have will fit in nicely with these pieces, and his old dresser (the one he's had forever since he was a munchkin!) will be repurposed into storage for his studio supplies until baby comes along and it goes in a nursery.
I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow and set it all up in the room! By the way, last pieces of furniture for a very long time. I love everything else we own. This bed will last us forever. Swears it on my heart.

Rx for a happy life
The giraffe lamp would be so cute for a nursery!

Linus the Lemon Tree
Our next project is going to be this huge dirt patch where the geraniums/weeds used to be. Maybe next weekend.

Chipmunk Cheeks
I can't believe I haven't posted my love of Katie Vernon's work yet. So gorgeous. I found her again while browsing through Sarah Winward's website. She's a crazy good floral designer in Salt Lake City and I love poring over her work. Her business card and website logo were drawn by Katie and I'm insanely jealous of it and wish it were ours. I love ours too but this one is so lovely. See:

Oh by the way...
Have I mentioned lately that my husband is rad to the Nth degree? His new website is up and it's fabulous. And not flash! You can look at it on your iPad mom!

I think Crum and Chloe need these.
I wish I could put one of these cowls on Lily Mae instead of the stupid cone of shame to keep her from licking her wound. I don't think this Etsy seller makes them in cat sizes anyways. The second picture looks just like Jen's dog!

Dream bike
Our birthday monies will probably go towards LM's butt bill this year so my dream bike will have to be put on hold (and maybe Jeffy's birthday Be@rbrick too...). It's a good thing she's worth it because this bike is pretty sweet. For the sake of dreaming, let's build it.
We start with a Linus bike Dutchi 1 frame in Ivory. Oooh...
Then we pimp it out with some accessories. First, the basil rear bottle basket. Two in this color please!
