grateful: week 49

inspired by my reading of the happiness project by gretchen rubin, i am instituting monday "gratitude" posts (read here for more detail), where i will list "3 things i'm grateful for" from the previous week.

the 3 things i'm grateful for this week are:

1)  i made time for reading - a lot of it, actually!  i'm totally obsessed with the book series game of thrones.  midway through the 4-book series right now! 

2)  a midweek date night with the bf. 

3)  a simple weekend consisting of projects, sleeping in, and a sunday afternoon movie.

this week's blog love:

• lots of love for lanalou style this week!  i now also want to take a trip to santorini, and these spring greens left a smile on my face.
• centsational girl knocks it out of the park with this look at risk-taking.  
• discover the art of gorgeous and elaborate paper-cutting art by elsa mora alongside inspired mrs. stevens.
• it's a glamorous life indeed over at dustjacket attic!
• i never pass up an excuse to peruse a hamptons house!  florals and stripes has kelsey grammar's on display. 

here's to another grateful week.
