Amazing Modern Paper Partywear by Jonathan Adler

I LOVE Jonathan Adler and as most of you know, I love me a good party platter, dish, tumbler, or anything bright and snazzy. Thanks to a post on the hostess blog, I'm thrilled to share with you a fantastic merging of two loves.

These paper lanterns are effortless chic and now even more colorful.

These two-sided reusable tumblers are all-around fun.

Brightly colored dessert plates and napkins round out the fun collection.

The Jonathan Adler site is amazingly fun. Have a look!

My Parents Are Awesome

Today is Mother's Day and I have the amazing honor to spend the day with my mom. Double bonus to celebrate with my entire family, including another amazing mom, my sister-in-law. We are ALSO celebrating my dad's birthday today, which is May 6th. Big day of love, laughs, and lox.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there and Happy Birthday Dad!

Week Of Home Goodies Continues

What a gorgeous day it is! I can't wait to enjoy AAAD Reader Bari's outdoor wedding this evening. In the meantime, I am taking a few minutes to spruce up the house with the windows open since it's so gorgeous outside. After searching for a fun doormat, I found the awesome site, Plasticland. I spent a ton of time in the Home Decor section, but there are tons of clothes, shoes, accessories, and more on this site, all well-priced and with $7.95 shipping. IT'S THE BOMB.

This Porcelain Turtle Jam Jar with Spoon will be perfect for my white-porcelain-animal-creamer-and-jar collection. Got that?

This Stuck Goldfish Universal Bath Plug will be way more fun and way more confusing to the cat than the Tupperware lid I am currently using.

LOVING this Chrysalis Butterfly Wings Mirror.

Add some whimsy with this Cartoon Hand Silicone Trivet.

Sweet Tooth Ceramic Cookie Jar. Confuse the Tooth Fairy. YES.

And finally, this Large Wire Birdcage Photo/Letter Holder is just loaded with possibilities.

Happy Shopping!

A Week of Posts Dedicated To All Things Home!

Hello again! I have found such fun things while re-accessorizing and adding a little bit more glitz and "me" to my new place. I thought I would take this week, Friday to Friday, for a gathering of posts I am calling Spring Spruce-Up, with some links to lovely ways to add some fun to your home. I've quite enjoyed the hunt. I hope you enjoy the finds.

I have one wall in my kitchen that you see like "BAM!" and I am looking for something to really pop. Good thing I found Helendardik's great Etsy shop, orangeyoulucky, where her colorful illustrations add the fun and whimsy I am seeking.

This illustration: AWESOME.

This print, Hang on, coffee is on the way! would be a great reminder for me in the morning to chill!

This Sprits in my Bottle print would rock any bar.

Tea Time! would be adorable in a little girl's room.

And this Alphabet Poster, great in any little one's room.

And I would be doing everyone who knows me a disservice if I DIDN'T include this print, Let's Go Kitty!.

If you love her work, you will probably enjoy her blog, too.

Home Sweet Home!

AND WE ARE BACK AND ALL PUT TOGETHER!

Hello my lovely readers! Could it have taken ANY LONGER for me to update my blog? Apparently I packed my blogging fingers along with my yet-to-be-found alarm clock and iron in the two boxes I have left to unpack. Most of you know but for those who don't, I just moved! I have also turned 29 in the meantime and had a great time showing off my new pad with my new age to some close friends last weekend. Ah! So, now that I have resurfaced, I must give you what you have been so patiently been waiting for: AWESOMES!

Welcome back home to AAAD. I have missed this!

This Looks Awesome!!

Um, this weekend is the World Balloon Festival. Hello awesome! This article makes me want to get all pumped up with helium (just kidding, don't try that at home) and check out the AMAZING balloon art/festival/Disneyland of all things on a string (wait, not ALL things). Who's with me? Sunday. I might just have a to take a packing break to take this all in. I thought the balloon arch at my Bat Mitzvah was cool. This is going to blow me away. (And I can't possibly add another balloon reference into this post.) Kids under 12 are freeeeeeeeee!


Get on it!

Moving Is Not Awesome

And neither is how behind I am on posts. BUT, I have a ton to come as I back-blog this weekend, so stay tuned.



This weekend will be full of packing the last of my crap and celebrating my awesome nephew's upcoming 3rd birthday. Giddy up.
