It's my Birthday and I'll Buy Chairs if I Want To!

Hope you are all enjoying a wonderful weekend! Today is especially wonderful for me because it's my birthday!!!

And what better way to celebrate your birthday than giving yourself a sweet new chair from craigslist?

No better way IMHO!


I got this beaut of the craig for only $70! The upholstery, while not my ideal, is cute enough and in good shape. I will be making the orange work for now. It's in a long line of upholstery projects so it will just have to wait!



In other exciting news my couch finally came yesterday!!!


I've been waiting on it for over two months. The only problem is the pillows along the back are not what I requested, poo. It's supposed to have only two long back pillows instead of a bunch of smaller ones. But I contacted them and I'm sure they'll fix it in a jiffy!


And what's even better is the whole thing is completely machine washable! That's right people! How awesome is that? The cushions are super soft and comfortable. The sofa is made by Best Slipcover company. They are great because everything is totally custom. 

You choose the body you like, choose from an array of fabrics, skirt/no skirt, cushion configuration, leg color and they make it right here in the US of A. 

And the good things just keep coming too! You've heard me go on and on about my favorite home store, located in Houston, called High Fashion Home. Well they had a contest and the winner gets a $200 gift card and I WON! My mom and I already have a plan to go down and shop. Hopefully I'll pick up the fabric for my wing chairs finally!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend lovers!

Happy Birthday...to me this time!

It's official, today I'm nine thousand one hundred and twenty five days old! You could also call me a quarter of a century old, two and a half decades, thirteen million one hundred and fourty thousand minutes, which ever way you want to put it, it's my birthday!

Guess where I'll be spending my birthday? I'll give you a hint...


That's right, New York City baby! I'll be here visiting friends and eating cupcakes from Magnolia bakery, going to not one, but two flea markets (brooklyn and chealsea) for a whole 5 days!

Do you buy yourself presents for your birthday? I sure do! I'm hoping to get myself these...

See you on the other side!

Happy Birthday Blog!

Today is the one year anniversary of Flights of Whimsy!

It's funny to think it's already been a year since I started this little blog. I've made so many friends and been so inspired by the blog community.

And it all started with this post!


You don't know how excited I get to see your comments on my posts! It means the world to me that someone reads my ramblings.

I'm flying to Atlanta and back today for work, it's going to be a long one! I feel like such a grown up traveling for work...

 This doesn't have anything to do with my blog's birthday. I just bought these peonies last weekend and they are just so prettttttty!
