It feels like spring is in the air. The temps are in the 50's and it's sunny. How odd after the freezing cold we have had the past few days. It makes me want to go outside and check for tulips and daffodils poking their little heads out of the ground. I will however, be happy about my blooming paperwhites instead. Aren't they pretty?
I have been getting over my wretched cold and just hanging out at home mostly. My Nook was not broken as I thought and I hope my bumbling around with it didn't dissuade anyone from buying it for themselves. It simply needed to be rebooted. Barnes & Nobles has a troubleshooting website that is fantastic. Anyway, I have been snuggling up with my Nook in the evening, getting acquainted with it. I haven't downloaded a book yet but I am getting email and the like set up, as well as actually reading ALL the instructions, which is unlike me. I still don't have the faintest as to what my camera is capable of. 
Plans are full steam ahead for my redoing the family room. Yesterday Emily and I made a trip to Homegoods. This is only my second time there. What a blast...something for everyone. My color scheme in the room is yellow and white with touches of gray. I may add some blue, I'm not sure. I bought pieces for the walls and tables and some lamps and pillows...we really went to town. Emily started getting all sorts of cool ideas for her wedding and ended up with a cart of her own to create this:
...a sweet table at her reception. She has recently gotten into Pinterest and found some neat photos. This is one of them. I am sorry I don't have the source. In a nutshell, she will have a cute table set up with jars of candy and little personalized bags and scoops for guests to help themselves. 
These jars were a steal. Aren't they huge? She has so many unique ideas, I am really loving planning this with her. She is now a big fan of Pinterest.
Back to the family room. Everything I have gotten so far is just placed back there so I can put it all together when the furniture arrives {8~10 weeks}. Here is a sneak peek of a lamp that I bought. I love it!
And I found these little things. Are they called kissing balls? I have them on my little tree from Wisteria. It was so good to get out. Today I have to go grocery shopping although I am more in the mood for spring cleaning with this gorgeous weather. I wonder what it is about the sunshine that makes us want to clean and fluff. Maybe because we can see the dust bunnies better! What have you been doing these past few warm days {and hopefully you have this wonderful weather, too}. Happy Weekend! :-)
