{sister cousins}

little z and mylee--sister cousins! they adore each other and are best of friends. Of course they know just how to get to each other, and they do! They are just 6 months apart, so it will be so fun to watch them grow up together:) they will have so many fun memories! I am excited for miss {n} to have the same thing with her little cousin Lola (they will be 6 months apart as well) needless to say--caleb needs some boys in the fam...linds are you ready for #3?

in other news.....we are getting settled in our house, and now i am starting to get everything decorated. Fun.... yet stressful trying to find just the right colors and items that I am invisioning! My biggest trouble has been finding a rug for my living room. I love all the older west elm and urban outfitter rugs that they don't carry anymore! boo!

Here are some picts of what I am trying to find--I would love an imperial trellis or morrocan tile design rug--any suggestions of places i haven't thought of??

I loved your last house decor and am dying to see your new home decor as well! Have you tried ebay or Overstock for rugs?

Aja said...

Ebay! I've never actually purchased one there, but I regularly look them up and "watch" the ones I love, like a stalker. :)

So fun that they are so close in age! I feel like all the cousins from the Buys side were all really close in age which I loved!!!! Overstock is great for rugs, we have gotten a couple from there!

Lindsay said...

Oh those cute little sister cousins- love them. I sure hope you can find a rug.. those ones are awesome. Rug searching is hard and annoying.

and no... definitely not ready for another baby yet =)

Hey if you can't find a rug in that type of design you can always put it somewhere else-I do vinyl and have a bunch of designs similar to these. And you know vinyl it is so versatile it can go anywhere! I am putting something similar on my master bath window in an 'etched glass' vinyl.

Oh so fun! I got my kids cones the other day but they were tiny and Bennett still made a mess. I can't imagine what would happen if I got him one that size:)

Erin said...

oh me goodness I love her little gap outfit ( she looks stunning in that blue black combo!! )

Alicia said...

That is so fun that they are such good friends. It is always nice to grow up with cousins your age to play with! And that ice cream they are eating looks delicious, makes me want some. I love all the rugs, my fav is that grey or it is a blue, anyhow it is just lovely! Rug shopping is super hard, the only place I can think of is West Elm, so that is not much help!!

CSN rugs is wonderful and affordable (csnrugs.com). Here are several I have my eye that may fit your criteria:

thanks so much!

You really are so blessed to have such sweet close family members. Can I say I'm a teensy bit jealous. I bet it's lots of fun!

I love those rugs too. Have you seen the new one from West Elm that is Navy and has a sort of diamond pattern on it. I sure love it. Don't know if that's the color you need or not though. Somewhere else you might check is homedecorators.com =)

This one is kind of cute. http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Fez_II_Area_Rug/310/

How awesome for both(!) of your girls to have cousins so close in age. Close family and community is the best!

Gorgeous rugs! Unfortunately, no recommendations from my end...

Alicia said...

Hey! Just got your message on my blog. The shorts are just bike shorts. I love them because they are shorter than the normal shorts. They are pearl izumi, I just got them on performancebike.com

Sharstin said...

thanks girly~ I need to get some of those--b/c i don't really like the ones I have~

Slightly cheaper than CSN on home decorators. Yellow, brown, pink or green!

Sister-cousins...love it. I had one of those growing up and it was great!

Ooh, love the rug ideas. You could always call up Sparrow's and have my Pete search one out for you. He's got an awesome eye for that kind of stuff.

Sharstin said...

Libby that would be so fabulous! I didn't even think of such a thing--that is a great idea~

1st--z's dress is adorable, as are her gladiators! do your kids own any ugly clothes???? :)
2nd--you guys moved?? my memory is awful so i don't know if i heard that already, but i can't wait to see you decorate the new house!
