Egg and Nest Shower

I love love birds and my best girlfriend used my "big pink nest" invitation for a egg and nest themed shower. I was so very jealous, because I am BURSTING with ideas for hosting an egg and nest shower!

Anywho. If I were the one hosting - I'd use one of these two invites:

And my party would look like this:

Somebody get engaged or knocked up ASAP!

Paper Suitcases...they're EVERYWHERE!

I've been noticing these paper suitcases everywhere I go. The first place I saw them was on the beautiful blog, Making it Lovely . Nicole owns a fabulous line, Pink Loves Brown.

So after I saw those paper suitcases, I was thinking, "hey, those are pretty cute." Little did I know there was an entire freakin paper suitcase movement going on.

I've been living under a rock I suppose. That's ok. I've known it for quite some time.

So I saw them recently at Paper Source at Northpark Mall in Dallas:

And THEN, I spyed it in an ad for The Land Of Nod:

There's also a company on Amazon that makes them:

It's crazy. I mean, I think they're cute and everything. Am I really living under a rock?
