I am taking a breather until after Thanksgiving. I have a lot of cleaning, prep work, and cooking to do for the holiday. I hope you all have a very beautiful week filled with a whole lot of good food and company. Xoxo.

Since I am a girl who loves letters and type, it is no surprise that I am madly in love with Anthropologie's Monogram Collection. I adore seeing it all lumped together.
