Locket

So, every morning for the last few weeks I wake up, make some breakfast, and search craigslist for jobs once I graduate. This morning I did not see any jobs that I hadn't already applied for, so I was feeling bummed, and next thing I knew I found myself on Etsy looking at heart lockets. Strange transition, I know. But anyways, when Ty and I were in Napa we went to this adorable store called Chateau Sonoma and they had the most AMAZING silver heart locket with a little dove on the front of it and I totally fell in love. Only problem is, It was about $150 when I took a look at the price tag. It nearly broke my heart. But anyways, ever since then I've been thinking that a heart locket like the one in the store (but, ahem, cheaper) would be the perfect everyday necklace for me, since I never wear any jewelry besides my rings (both from Tyler). Anyhoo, here is what I've found so far:

I love the pattern on the front of this locket and the tiny flower-- so beautiful! Silver Heart Locket - Enchanted Daisy Love by TheEnchantedLocket.

I love this locket because it has that vintage-y look, it has the little dove connected to the necklace, and I think the little clock inner workings are super neat! Plus, it actually opens, so I could put stuff in there!

I also really REALLY love the new Tiffany lock necklaces. They are closer to the price of the locket I couldn't afford, but one can dream, right? I love the really "mini" sized locks -- both the round one and more angular one. Here are some lovely pics:

I really love both of these-- I'm not sure which one I like better. The rose-gold plate on the front really adds a lot but I also love both of these in sterling silver! They are both super tiny in person-- very delicate and antique-y looking.

Anyhoo, that's about all I've got for now! I'll probably update with something more substantial once I've figured out what the heck is going on in our lives. Wish us luck applying for jobs!

Spring is in the air!

Aaah spring. Spring in Pullman is pretty much Pullman without snow, but I am still pretty stoked about it! Today I even went for a bike ride, and although it was freezing near the end of it, it was sunny and tons of people were out on the ol' Bill Chipman trail.

Anyhoo, Tyler and I just got back from our road trip to San Francisco and Napa Valley, and it was such a wonderful trip! Truly, I think, one of the best we've ever been on together. I think part of what made it so nice is that we've gotten to in our relationship where we just really have a good time hanging out together, even when we're doing absolutely nothing, so it was REALLY fun doing something so outside of the ordinary!

Anyways, most of you who are at all interested have probably seen photos on facebook, but here are a few I never got around to posting that sort of sum up our trip.

San Francisco is so fun and weird and colorful-- Ty and I had a blast hanging out with Nic and walking around downtown. Nic lived in this really adorable neighborhood that had tons of old Victorian houses and cute little coffee shops and cafes. He was even just a few blocks from Alamo Square and the Painted Ladies!

Shoe garden across from Alamo Square. Seriously-- how cool is that?!

One of the few pictures I got of the Victorian houses. :)

Wine tasting at Chandon! It was St. Patrick's day so they gave us green champagne (or sparkling wine if you want to get technical). It was SUCH a fun tasting-- all sparkling wines, all delicious.

Yountville! It's my favorite area in Napa Valley that we visited-- home to The French Laundry, adorable little hotels like the Vintage Inn, and a million (seriously) amazing restaurants and cafes!

Ty is such a goof. :)

Ty hanging out in Artesa winery. The architecture was amazing!

So that's pretty much all I have-- but big stuff is coming in the next few weeks! Party bus with Craig and Angela, Ty is graduating, I'm getting a new car (long story), we're heading back to Lake Tapps for the summer, and we'll know whether or not we are going to London next year in two weeks! Wish us luck and cross your fingers for us!
