“A lady, without a family, was the very best preserver of furniture in the world.”
― Jane Austen, Persuasion
Happy weekend, ducklings! At work this week we got our third big proposal out, quite possibly the biggest one to date, and on the home front we trying to shop for ideas for real, grown up furniture for the first time in our lives. We’re 30. Yikes. Lessons learned thus far can broadly be summarized as follows: we have excellent taste, and we have no money.
Here are your links, rapid fire this weekend, and let me know what you’re getting up to in the comments.
