I’m looking forward to:
a sunny weekend!

I really want:
this planter.
this pillow.
one of these giant cloches.
this blanket.

dlb and I went on a date tonight to our favorite restaurant and followed it up with a leisurely walk as the sun went down.  we wanted to go on one more date – just the two of us – before our little man makes his arrival, which could be any day now!  it’s so crazy to think that in just a few shorts weeks, we’ll be a little family.  by the way, here’s a few pregnancy & baby related posts I wrote this week for Babble and Unruly Little Things:

confessions from an anxious mom-to-be.
the cutest teething toys for babies!
lightening and other pre-labor signs.
5 things I couldn’t have lived without during pregnancy.
I just can’t get enough of baby stripes.
and me… 37 weeks pregnant and full term.  yay!

happy weekend, friends!  I hope it’s sunny and warm where you are.

my friend Leah just shot some gorgeous photos for her blog SpacePDX in one of my favorite Portland haunts, Artemisia.  it’s my go-to spot for unique plants and decor inspiration.  if you’re in Portland and you haven’t been there yet – it’s a must!!

also, be sure to check out Leah’s site for more beautiful photography.

spring raincoats

rain steven alan

even though spring feels like it’s finally arrived in Portland, I know that the rain is definitely not finished.  we’ve got a good month left until the warmth and sunshine clear away the rain for summer.  so lately I’ve been thinking about spring raincoats.  I like these two from Steven Alan.
