The Gimmes

I know it may seem like it to the average HMD reader, but I promise I'm not really some grabby-handed mcbitterson who complains about life and spends all day online staring at things she can't afford. For those of you that know me, I am generally a happy person, and overall, feel quite blessed with my lot in life. I started thinking tonight, after a few concerned emails from friends wondering about the well-being of my brain, that maybe it was time to shift gears, stop whoa-is-me-ing and I-need-this-ing, and start sharing with you all some of the countless things for which I am eternally grateful.

But then I thought, "Nah. That's boring." I know what you really come here for.

So, without further adieu, here are a few things that are giving me the gimmes for you to ponder and/or purchase over the weekend.

This delightfully Spring-y candy stripe tunic from Urban Outfitters, $29

 

This equally Springy and essential linen and sequin tote from the GAP, $49.95

....and more candy-colored goodness in the form of these Delta lamps, $150 each

anyone who has been to my house, knows that my yard is a place where gnomes go to die, lose their limbs and get pooped on by birds. These little guys from West Elm, however, would be safe and sound inside.

This lovely laurel leaf ring by Eddera would complete me. $230

And because we need more toys around here, how cute are these PlayShapes blockshttp://kidcrave.com/toys/playshapes-74-wooden-blocks/. Every kids needs a wooden mustache.

And, just in case you don't believe that I know I am blessed, here's a little photo evidence: 

Check out these keepers. 

Happy Friday!
