Thank you to everyone who entered the Tea Collection giveaway!  You showed Tea (and Lilly!) a lot of love.  And I think that the winner of the giveway said it best: “It’s one line that both me and my daughter can agree on”.  Congratulations to Carter of The Mean Mom Chronicles.  Maybe you won’t be considered a “mean mom” now? ;)

Happy shopping, Carter.  Just shoot me an email at looklingerlove@yahoo.com and I’ll get you hooked up.

A little of what’s going on around these parts…

Lilly’s throwing her first Halloween party this year.  Last week I picked up this Halloween issue of Martha Stewart and I’m getting frighteningly pumped (insert cackles).
I’ve been moving things around in my house and have some new items on my entry console.  My mother in law Marian painted this colorful piece (isn’t it fabulous?), and here’s the brass urchin thingy I won from Lily at Gold & Gray.

Along with my growing belly, my boobs and butt are expanding too.  So I went out and got some new lingerie (enter sarcasm, like I’d be even remotely comfortable in this).

But for real, all parts of me are expanding, including my feet.  So I had to break out my pregnancy flats that I wore while pregnant with Lilly.  A pair of leopard flats and these cheapies.  At least they’re sparkly.

But what I really want to wear are these oxfords.  They would make for a great “Hey you’re pregnant so your feet must hurt” gift.  Hint hint Josh, size 8 please.
A couple of days ago I stopped in one of my favorite local shops, II Brunettes, and picked up a bump friendly top.  But this ensemble that they put together really caught my eye.  Isn’t it fabulous?
And last but not least, the Nursery Design Series has received such great feedback.  I knew it would, because I’m smart like that ;)  If you can’t get enough of all things nursery and must see more, two talented women have emailed me links to designs they’ve created:
Katie created not only one but TWO nursery designs for Baby Boy Evans and they’re both fabulous – Go See them here!  She may have used this fabulous party animal wallpaper in one of her designs.
And Jessica emailed me the link to the nursery design that she’s in the process of putting together for her own baby boy.  You can see it here.

Today is a happy and giddy kind of day because this morning I’m sharing another Nursery Design Series creation by one extremely talented young lady.  Alexandra Berlin may be a brand spanking new interior design graduate (just this month!) but let me tell you that her talent and work speak volumes for what’s to come of her career.  And what’s to come is greatness.  Take a looksie!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wanted to create a nursery space that didn’t feel like a nursery, a space that Baby Evans could grow into! And a room that Chassity would love being in too. A cozy, warm room that would be inviting to everyone.

1. Crib – Uptown Crib
2. Rocker- Empire Rocker
3. Print – Sharon Montrose
4. Paint – Benjamin Moore Plymouth Rock
5. Rug – Calypso
6. Lamp – Restoration Hardware
7. Bedding- Modern Baby
8. Chandelier- Restoration Hardware

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Incredible, Alex!  Thank you so much for putting together this beautiful, calming, and masculine space.  I honestly adore every piece that you have placed here, but the rug and floor lamp give me goosebumps I love them so.  And to all of you, be sure to visit Alex’ blog, Things That Sparkle.  It’s one of the first blogs I read everyday because it is filled to the brim with creative genius!
