it's a happy day.

It may be just another Monday, but for one of my readers, it's going to be a fabulous one...

Bailey from Traveling Anchor is the lucky gal who gets her choice of any bag from the 

Whiting & Davis collection...I don't really know how she'll ever chose from her favorites 

{either the Gattopardo or one of the Crystal Classics!}.

An enormous debt of gratitude to my wonderful sponsor, Whiting & Davis! 

Thank you so much to all those who entered...I just wish you could all win!

If you didn't win, I thought I could give these photos as a consolation prize of sorts ;) 

{I know it doesn't equate, but it could at least bring you a smile today!}

Pinky has been making herself at home in our humble abode and Gus is happy to have her :)

We spent most of the weekend laying low, which was perfectly welcome after six straight weekends away. {cv} and I stayed close to home, which is abnormal for us during the summer. We were able to run outside a couple of times {which is HUGE for me since I was only released to run on Monday after four months off the road!}. We made some basic yet yummy dinners at home on Friday and Saturday. Another bright point of the weekend was sharing brunch with one of my blogger besties, Kristen, on Sunday after church in my neck of the woods at Nick's on Broadway. We also had a lovely dinner last night with our pals at Julian's, another of our Providence favorites. Other than that, I had some more fun on pinterest {how could I not?} and just enjoyed the down time with {cv}. 

This week looks a little crazy, but I'm not complaining. I'm taking a new photography class this summer at RISD and it starts tonight! I can't wait :) 

How did you spend your weekend? What are you looking forward to this week?!

Thanks again to all who entered this giveaway--and to the growing number of Friday's Fancies faithfuls :) I'm so grateful for each and every one of you! Have a fabulous Monday! xoxo {av}
