Who has fun adventures planned this weekend!? I’ll be dusting off (and snuggling up!) with our book club pick, grabbing Thai food with some of Mr. Amour’s law school buddies (so excited to meet them!) and hopefully hanging some artwork around our apartment. I also have an exciting announcement to make about my little blog on Monday which I’m eager to share with you. Lastly, I must welcome all the new readers that have shown up in the past few months. Things have exploded a bit and it’s so touching and rewarding to see so many new faces. Can’t wait to get to know each and every one of you—-always feel free to introduce yourselves in the comments, I read each and every one!

Ooh exciting! Looking forward to Monday (did I really say that??). In any case glad to be one of your loyal readers/followers.
Enjoy the weekend! The East Coast seems to have successfully avoided a major storm today. So far.
I would love to think I am a true blue follower!! Love this space of yours!! It offers so much daily inspiration. And hip hip to red tights!! xo
C’est Moi — I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you keep avoiding that storm! Enjoy your weekend!!! xo
Caroline — You’re such a sweetheart! And cheers to red tights! I need to get myself a pair pronto…so festive!!

Shoshana — Then you must understand the long hours studying too! Mr. Armour is in his first year and it is a bit all-consuming!
A Few Affections — Welcome Heylee! Is that really how you spell your name?! So unusual and fabulous! I’m so glad you enjoyed the Lonny issue. It was an honor to be a part of! Have a lovely weekend and keep in touch! xx
I certainly do! I can promise that it gets better. My fiance is in his second year — still a lot of work but less new so I think it seems less difficult.
Katie, I can’t wait to hear your announcement. Have a great weekend! xoxo
Shoshana — Thank goodness for the light at the end of the tunnel, right? xx
Taylor — Hope you enjoy your weekend as well! Looking forward to the 24th! xx
Oh dear, I’m so glad it’s Friday. The other night, I had a dream that a stork delivered John and I a full bar, and that’s when I knew I needed a weekend!
And book club? I’m in love!
Katie, It’s chilly in Chicago – a perfect weekend to stay inside and read! I can’t wait to hear your announcement… The suspense is killing me! Have a great weekend :)
xxo
i adore that book!!! excellent choice. have a wonderful weekend ! xx
Hi! I am a new reader & LOVE stopping by your blog every morning (or in today’s case, at night)! I’ve just started a blog called Brass Bows because I need a little experience with writing, I hope you’ll check it out even though it isn’t much yet!
News? How exciting! I can’t wait to hear what it is! And I’m picking up my book for the book club this weekend.
when you tweeted that you had news to share on Monday, I immediately thought “a baby!!” but after reading this, I think I’m wrong :)
can’t wait to hear whatever it is! xo
Katie, reading your blog everyday help me understand myself better. I love your blog. I’ve been reading it for a couple months now, and I love it! Thank you so much!
Lena — You poor thing, sounds like a long week! I hope you’re out celebrating!
Kristin — Curled up with a good book, the perfect weekend. Love Chicago, need to get back and visit again sometime soon!
Caitlin — I’m so glad you like the book choice. It’s one of my favorites too : )
Jordan — Can’t wait to check out Brass Bows! Congrats, I think starting a blog is the hardest step! Good for you : ) xx
Brandi — Oh my goodness, have you never read it? I hope you love it as much as I do. I can’t wait to crack it open again!
Kayla — I promise I am NOT pregnant. Not for many years! Thanks for the laugh : )
Aubergine — That may just be the sweetest thing anyone has ever written! It’s a process isn’t it? Learning about ourselves and what makes us tick… Sometimes it’s the little things that make us smile and awake excitement and passion in us that mean so very much. That’s how I feel about design. I’m so glad to have you as a reader. Keep in touch! xx
you’re adorable. so is this blog. so glad i stumbled upon it. enjoy the weekend! – a new reader:)
Hi Katie!
I love, love, love your blog!! I’ve been reading since I saw your blog listed on Ruby Press’ Sites We Love page (I interned there w/Melissa 3 years ago). I just started my blog- literally last week!- but I’d love for you to check it out if you get a chance :) I actually did a post using some images you posted:

Cheers!
Becca
Have a Nice Weekend!
Lookin forward for that exciting announcement but that pretty red tights vision will help time fly – there’s always something happy and liberating in using and seeing someone with those…
Kisses xx
I hope you have a beautiful weekend! I’m spending the day with my fiance and then working on a ‘project’.
cheers!
xx Kirby
oh and stop by monday for an amazing wedding video and a dress I designed!
I love your blog and would definitely consider myself a neotraditionalist!
The frequency of your posts is dizzying (in a good way) and I can’t believe how many new things and ideas you post. I told all of my readers about you, too: http://jetsetmeg.blogspot.com/2010/10/neo-traditionalist.html
Have a great weekend- it’s a very windy day in Boston, so I’m staying inside!
Oh the book looks wonderful! I’ll have to hurry up and finish my current book and pick that one up next!
*kate
Abby — I’m so glad you stumbled upon me too : ) Welcome and thank you for your kindness. I read your comment to my husband I was so tickled (he just laughs at me!). xx
Becca — Get out! I looove Melissa and Ruby Press. Can’t wait to check out your blog this morning! Keep in touch! xx
Teresa — I’m glad you’re a red tights type of gal too : ) I think it speaks volumes of your vivacity and love of life! xx
Kirby — I want to hear about this ‘project.’ Tell the handsome fiance hello! I will be sure to stop in on Monday, can’t wait!
Megan — You kill me! Your post had me laughing out loud. I’m glad you appreciate my brevity. I love to write, but know when I read blogs the shorter the text the sweeter, sad but true : ) Can’t wait to read more of your blog! Have a fantastic weekend! xx
of course, i love your blog, but you’re definitely one of my favorite bloggers because of the way you welcome interaction between you & your readers. it’s thoughtful, unlike so many that egocentrically spew… just to be heard.
so, thank you for all of your inspiring posts! my own site is in the beginning stage & i’m hoping to create the special dialogue that you have here.
Hana — You are awesome. I think the dialogue is the most important (and certainly most rewarding!) part of blogging. If that weren’t the case I’d be saving all this for a private journal : ) Can’t wait to check out your site! No doubt it will be engaging and lovely, just as you are. xx
I’m a new reader and am totally hearting your blog! Thanks for the warm welcome!
OMG I am obsessed with that picture!!! It is so simple and fabulous with a great shade of red. I also just found your blog and love it!

Hi Katie! I’m a new reader and I have been loving your blog! Can’t wait to hear what your announcement is : )
Heather — Thank YOU for reading and introducing yourself. Love new faces : )
Rachel — I’m glad you’re equally smitten with the photo, isn’t it festive? Thanks for saying hello! xx
Kate — Oh dear, I hope you’re not disappointed. I fear everyone things I’m pregnant (NOT the case!). xx
