Mr. & Mrs. Money

Last weekend Spencer and I were invited to a western themed murder mystery dinner party given by some of Spencer's good friends and their wives. It was up at a mansion up in Midway... the perfect location! It seriously was so much fun! It was the "Murder at the Deadwood Saloon" and we were all given a character to come dressed as and a part to play throughout the night. I was Elizabeth Money, a snobby rich lady from Chicago, and Spencer was my husband, Montgomery Money who was investing in the West. It was a crack up to watch everybody act like their characters and speak in western accents all night. Spencer ended up being the murderer, and I was completely clueless. He did a great job throwing us off his trail. It was such a fun night and I completely adore that entire group.

O Christmas Tree!

We just finished decorating our very first Christmas tree! It was a fun project. We thought we were going to go to a tree lot and buy a real one, but when we realized the money that was going into the tree, a stand, and lights we decided that we might as well splurge a little on a fake one that we can use year after year. So... we headed off to the all amazing Target with a bunch of our wedding gift cards and wah lah! We bought this pretty little thing. I have been on the look out for pretty Tiffany blue ornaments and with the help of my cute mom we found a bunch of cute ones. I also used some vintage ornaments, burlap garland, and a hint of red with some berries. Oh I LOVE Christmas time! Decorating our condo has been a lot of fun for me.:)






Merry Christmas!
