New Pantry!

My awesome husband built shelves for me in my pantry. We even bought a saw! Austin is amazing at being a  daddy, accounting, and playing the guitar; but carpentry is a new talent for him- so proud that he did this!! Then, together we hand-painted the white keystone shape on there. I was inspired by the blog "House of Smiths"- that blog is awesome!! After spending literally days contorting my very pregnant (at the time) body around the shelves hand painting the white shapes on the wall, I wish I bought Shelley's vinyl from that blog! 

Anyway, I wish my storage was as pretty as hers, but slowly I'll get there- starting with my clear jars and black baskets. For now, I am so happy and love how it turned out! Thanks Honey!

Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" Halloween Party

My favorite thing in the world is our "Austin and Emily's Annual Halloween Party". Why would be being 8 months pregnant change anything? Haha! This year I decided to forgo the Murder Mystery Dinner Party we have had for the last four years and have a Dinner and Movie Party instead. Of course I had to pick one of my two favorite classic scary movies- Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" for the theme. 

Here's the invite =)

Here is the pathway up to my house lined with "dead trees" with "creepy birds" looming in them. (Please disregard the dead grass and ugly house front- we have been living in our new house for 4 months ;))

My awesome best friend Emily Rocks made this perfect Bird Wreath and Bird Pillow for my door and porch  

The sign on the table say "Welcome to Bodega Bay" which is where the movie takes place.

My totally amazing husband got me A Hitchcock Collection for my birthday and it came with postcards of the vintage movie posters- you can see it framed above and in the invitation.

We moved our spare bed into the living room and put our couch on risers to make 

for ultimate viewing for numerous people.

"The Birds" watching over our dinner- mwahhahaha

We had Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner- these were the "Rice Nests" for everyone to build their food on.

Yay! Friends and Halloween Fun!
