You've heard the term "ungrateful houseguest"? Apparently when you're staying at someone's house and they present you with a lovely breakfast that they created just for you, you are not supposed to recoil in mild horror.

Remember how I said I was super into my living room's kind of Aspen-y vibe, what with the dark wood and exposed beams and such?
I changed my mind.

Reason Number 2,457,244 why Trader Joe's is the best thing that has ever happened to life, ever: they have beautiful fresh flower arrangements that are actually affordable, and also seem to be preternaturally long-lasting. Which is wonderful, because spending twenty bucks on a grocery-store bouquet that falls to pieces within 24 hours is both the worst and something I tend to not do (because it literally feels like ripping up a twenty-dollar bill and throwing it out of my car window). And while the idea of being one of those people who trots off to the florist for some lovely fresh blooms has its appeal...I mean, lol.
But I do a lot of entertaining, and also take a lot of photographs of said entertaining, and I've discovered that having a few fresh flowers laying around is kind of huge in terms of making your table (and home, generally) feel lovely and fresh and inviting. And they're really useful for adding texture and color to images, if you too are a table-photographer (see this post for evidence).
Hey there, Virgil.
{ Floral Stripes & Arrows Blanket }
You know that t-shirt that you love more than any other t-shirt because it's simultaneously lightweight and cozy, and is equal parts cool-looking and comfortable? The blankets that we sell over on glam | camp are that t-shirt, except in blanket form. (I think I've told you this about ten thousand times now, but that's because it bears repeating: they are seriously THE BEST.)
