Well you guys, May flew right by, didn't it? I had a really great month. We used my birthday as an excuse to do lots of fun things (and probably spend a little too much money). And we had so many sunny days here in Seattle! I'm really hoping the good weather continues and we don't get a dreaded "Junuary." Here are some of my favorite Instagrams from the month of May. How was your month? What were some of your highlights and favorite things you did?

I won a new flat iron from a giveaway! // We found Hi-chew at our local grocery store. We used to get these in California all the time but we hadn't seen them here yet. They're like Starbursts...but better. // Ben and our niece, Pippa, at my in-law's house. // Waiting in line for the Scout pop-up shop. I got that light pink channel-back armchair in the front. // Lots of DIYs in this photo: our crate side tables, a doily pillow, and the beginning of my wood round coasters. // Our hugging salt and pepper shakers (aren't they cute?) and a yummy dinner we made. // Chopping veggies is more fun on my new cutting/serving board. // Our adorable little ring holder.

A little rearranging and styling in our house. // Air plants at West Elm. // Ben and I got a craving for beignets so we went looking for them in Seattle and had breakfast at Toulouse Petit. The beignets were alright, but my caramel french toast was amazing. // I went to a bridal shower for my friend Sarah. I loved the different flavored popcorns and the lavender Earl Grey cake! // It's peony season! One more reason to love May. This is a bouquet that my sweet husband brought home for me. // I went for an early morning hike (as in, leave at 4:00 am) with Ben and his friend Ken. We even made bacon at the top!

I really like Instagram--it's my favorite form of social media besides Pinterest. If you have one, I'd love if you follow me and say hello! I'm @athomeinlove.

   I have a ring holder a dear friend gave me. I love it. I love your new arrangement. That typewriter and books accompanied by lilacs....Beautiful! (placed on that great old trunk!) Keep having fun making your new home, home. Us home makers have the best "job"!
