Summer is on the horizon and I got a good glimpse of it this past weekend when we took a dip in the pool. The warm weather, fresh tasty food, and plenty of cool drinks. Summer, I am ready for you! With all that summer fun, I am going to need a few new plates […]

Okay. I have to warn you. I am SERIOUSLY OBSESSED with today’s DIY. Like, I just want to sit and stare and the cuteness that is this Palm Springs inspired desk organizer.
