Happy Sunday!

Yesterday morning I did a little shopping at the big outdoor sale that my favorite antique mall hosts. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I found some goodies! And last night, we went to an adorable baby-Q (that’s a baby shower barbecue for those of you not on the baby circuit).  So today should be a full day too…full of laziness!

Target does it again.  And again, and again.

I’m just gonna say it. I’m not a huge fan of most Halloween decorating. To me, most things just end up looking tacky. So of course I love this classy spin on Halloween decor.

It’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas gifts. I love this collection of gifts for the host.

How’s your weekend going? We’ve been doing a lot around the house to get ready for an event later this week (more on that soon), but it’s been nice to have a calm weekend at home.

Also, for those of you wondering, I am now 18 days post-op and am feeling ok. It’s taking me longer to bounce back from the surgery than I’d like, partly due to the nasty infection I got in the incision in the back of my head. But that’s about healed now, and my face is bruise-free, so that’s a plus. I’m still having the constant headache, but that’s *hopefully* due to the surgery and will subside in the next couple of weeks. I’ll keep you posted! :)

Now, onto the best links this week…

Drunk J. Crew ads. This is the best. (Thanks so my sis-in-law for sharing!)

Important numbers every homeowner should know.

This just might be the cutest free printable ever.
