Our Saturday wasn't your typical Valentines Day. No reservations were made, nothing fancy happened...but we still managed to have a blast together! Caleb woke me up early and decided to get donuts (I swear, he knows the ways to my heart!)
We don't really do "big gifts" on V-day so I knew we'd be keeping it small... so I wanted to do something more personal for him. My gift to him was a print with some lyrics from the song he sang to me on our wedding day...my awesome SIL created it and I couldn't love it any more. He really liked it!
Besides the donuts, he gave me the neatest DIY book, as well as an Emily Giffin novel! He knew I was obsessed with her "Something Borrowed" series, & I thought it was sweet how he remembered. His catch was that I had to pick one project out of the DIY book and we'd spend our evening doing it.
So, we were off to the Flea Market then Ikea. We decided that (while we had fun at the flea market) we like it much better in the summer. The outdoor vendors that obviously aren't there in the winter, are the ones who carry all the neat antiques/etc.
We had a gift card to Chili's so we had an early dinner after the flea market, then headed home to get started on our DIY project right away. We had a blast and I can't wait to show you what we did (later this week)! We even bought Caleb a drill... he prefers to be called Mr. Handyman now ;)
Caleb is such a great man. He literally makes me laugh until I cry, and I love him more every single day. I hope you guys all had a fantastic weekend!!
Love Young House Love! They are so inspiring! Enjoy the book :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a pretty great weekend to me! And you are seriously gorgeous my friend!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have an IKEA about 4 miles from my house and I swear that I go there way too often haha! But that, along with donuts would make for the best day ever. Donuts are literally my favorite food ever (unfortunately) haha!
ReplyDeleteThose donuts are too cute! Now I'm kicking myself for not buying a heart-shaped treat of any kind...ugh. I love how crafty you two have gotten and of course, do I spy an animal from Trader's World?
ReplyDeleteI'm already too excited to see what your next DIY project is!!
ReplyDeleteI love traders world! But I agree, it's much better when it's warm
ReplyDeleteI love how much you both enjoy doing projects together - it is the cutest!! Glad you had a great Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteI need donuts now! I love that you two are such DIYers with your house now :) I can't wait to see all your projects when I come visit!
ReplyDeleteWhere We Belong was really good. I love the print you gave him. That's such an awesome idea. And now I'm craving a doughnut...so thanks for that. You know how I am with your food posts (apple cider). Tomorrow you're going to see me with some doughnuts...hah!
ReplyDeleteAwww what a great Valentine's Day! Emily Giffin books are the best :)
