a few pretties thru the stress

Lately I've been sooo busy. I think if I've collectively spent more than 30 minutes at my place just one day this week, I'd be surprised. I like being busy though (for the most part). But right now, I'm trying to enjoy the little things, the pretty things, the things that inspire me and help me keep going.....

I also should be getting some pretty dresses (I ordered them before I imposed a no more online shopping rule on myself...at least for the rest of this month). I can't wait-- I hope they fit, I'm nervous (and the vintage one only came in that specific size, so fingers crossed)!!!
