Life at Home... Knives the Lamp

So our little darling cat Knives recently got spayed! This is great for her but the whole having a cone on her head for a week is not amusing to her. But it really is for the rest of us!

Here she is nestled in our friend Max's cowboy hat on halloween. 

Here she is passed out after the surgery.

While recovering she enjoyed Korean Romantic Comedies

I think this is where she realized her true purpose in life...

And now she is back to enjoying her windows. ( I had to help her up there)

She is adorable and we are glad to see her feeling better. 

Happy Monday!

Stationery Of My Life

I love stationery, I don't know if you know this. I have always loved stationary. After cleaning out a box I found some unused stationery from different times of my life and each have a different story. I thought it would be fun to share these with you! 

1. Amelia's Notebook! Oh my gosh, Amelia's Notebooks were on of my favorite things to read growing up and sparked my interest in sketching! She is so quirky and funny and all the illustrations were pretty great. I had the stationary based off the books which are equally quirky and funny.

2. Chococat! Oh my goodness. This really brings me back. Whenever my friends and I would go to the mall we would go to the Sanrio store! And everything was a little too expensive for a 10 year old so we bought pencils, shaped erasers, and sationery! I think I scored a Chococat pillow too.

3. San-X! These cuties were sent to me by my brother. When ever he heard I was having a bad day or had a bad fight with one of my friends, he would always sent something to be from these guys. He also sent me a couple of plushies! What a great brother!

4. Anke Weckmann! From red cap cards. She is so amazing.  And Nick, my fiance, knows how much I love her work... and stationery. So he surprised me and bought me a couple of her cards! She makes the cutest illustrations!

5. Gemma Correll! From All-Mighty. This was another great gift from my bother! See? So great. He also got me a tote and a shirt with her amazing illustrations! So cute!

6. Suzy Ultman! She is so great. So my brother's girlfriend, Natasha, got me this super cute set. It comes with cute doll like notecards but I just wanted to show the envelopes because I love her patterns so much! Natasha did not only give me a christmas present, but she got me inspiration for my senior project that year! So great! :)

Thanks guys!

Happy Wednesday!

Kitten time

The kitten is definatly the center of attention in the apartment. She is super playful and cuddly. The other day she killed a mouse and played with it all over the house including in my shoes :P yuck. We still love her and glad to know she will be our pest control.

In other news, when making a late night grocery run we found this cute owl balloon! I love it!

Cute Pumpkin Cupcake Liners!

I got these the other day from a craft store! They are so cute and cheap! I wasn't planning on making fall cupcakes this year, but now I have to!

Falling into Fall, Cookies & Pie

Today really feels like the beginning of fall. So I put on my thick fall socks and decided to bake some fall goodies.  I got the super cute pumpkin sugar cookies and made some pumpkin pie.

It's a pumpkin kind of day :)

                            

Adding to the Something Nice Family!

We have a new addition to the Something Nice family! Her name is Knives and she is a 6 week year old kitten!

We named her Knives after Knives Chau a character from Scott Pilgrim.

She IS a character and we love adding her to the family!
