Erin Condren Life Planner

A few weeks ago, I took advantage of the group deal on Plum District. It was for Erin Condren. Erin has a ton of fantastic stationary and paper goods. Even with my Google calendars, the iPhone and all the latest in technology, I still like to write down my schedule and see everything in written form. I ordered the new Life Planner and am completely in love! I chose the Favorite Things planner. It has so many features I love; the ability to personalize it with my name, list all of my favorite things on it and pretty, pretty colors.
Here is a pic of my new planner.

Here is a better list of what I included; bouquets of colored pencils, grosgrain ribbon, elephants, npr, tea shoppes, patent leather, monograms, pearls, barefoot contessa, manicures, farmer's markets, stationary, botanical gardens, kate spade, flip flops, theatre, magazines, rowing, nyc, volunteering, books, fresh cut flowers, headbands, champagne, macaroons, tennis, polka dots, france, summer camp, shag: the movie, etiquette, cocktail hour, outdoor showers, sex and the city, hot air balloons, culinary arts.

I have been using it for two weeks and just love it!

The City Flea

This past Saturday was The City Flea downtown. Modeled after the Brooklyn Flea, The City Flea had an inaugural summer this year. The City Flea is another project that is helping to revitalize Over-the-Rhine. It was the first Saturday of June, July, August and September. I was lucky enough to make it to three of the four fleas. Many of the shoppes have vintage items, antiques, homemade crafts, jewelry and foodstuffs. There are also a number of great food vendors; My favorites are Streetpops, Fireside Pizza and Cafe de Wheels. My favorite purchased item were little necklaces made out of Scrabble pieces and they have little quotes on the front. They are made by Sunday Afternoon Housewife. I purchased the Paris one and the letter S was on the tile. It was meant to be!
