Abilene Weekend

This weekend we traveled north to Abilene to celebrate my best friend, Sierra, and her first baby, Luke.  We arrived on Thursday, so I was able to hit up some of my favorite Abilene antique stores on Friday.  I bought a beautiful wooden globe ($15) for Turner's future big boy room, a beautiful southwestern rug for my brother ($8), and a wooden chess board ($5) also for Turner's room.  I walked away from many beautiful items...so hard to do.  You can't find items like these in Austin priced so low.


$42 - Vintage tea/bar cart
$25 - This would be cute for a neutral nursery
$60 - I'm thinking about doing a mirror wall in one of our rooms. 
$10 - Would love to spray paint this and use it for a little girl's nursery
$25 - Hand embroidered clock. Such a unique item.
$25 - Large mirrors (amazing price for the size)
$125 - Absolutely stunning peacock quilt

Saturday, we celebrated baby Luke, who is due March 13!  Turner can't wait to meet his new best friend.  I enjoyed catching up with friends from college.




Sunday, it started to snow/sleet early in the morning so we headed back to Austin early to beat the dangerous roads (it was 80 degrees on Saturday) . Once we arrived home, we all took a much needed 2 hour nap (Turner was extremely fussy all weekend due to two new little teeth).  All in all it was a relaxing and fun weekend with friends.  Next time I'm in Abilene, it will be to meet Mr. Luke!



One box at a time


Sorry for the lack of outfit posts, but I've been busy unpacking and trying to turn our tiny apartment into a home.  The hard part is trying to find storage for all of our junk that we stored in our last house that was slightly bigger. The Container store and IKEA have become my new best friends.  Since living in Austin I've learned that I...1.) hate traffic 2.) crave chinese food every night after hot yoga, because they conveniently place an add on our door handle 3.) need a job because I've started watching Jeopardy.


Love the tall window but need some curtains
Our ONE and only closet
Coffee table I've been eyeing at IKEA. I'm on a budget so $35 is perfect!
  
Other home items on my list are...patio furniture, area rug, living room and bedroom curtains, living room chair, kitchen storage, and frames for a gallery wall. It might take a while for this apartment to come together, but I guess I will patiently wait, ugh.
