Some Things I Just Love...a Guest Post!

I've asked my friend Susanna if she would be kind enough to pick out a handful of "things that she loves" - to contribute to one of my style posts.  I met Susanna through a mutual friend a few years ago.  Before that - I knew of her through the amazing children's art studio she ran, called Paper Scissors Oranges.  She's since closed the studio to take the time to raise her adorable children.  But before she did we were lucky enough to host a birthday party there...my older son's 3rd birthday to be exact [which was more years ago than I'd care to think about].  It was the most magical and memorable party we've ever had for either child.
Since then we've bonded over a love of design, good food and blogging.  She has a wonderful style/family blog called Paper Oranges - I check it out daily.  I love her taste and frequently get inspired by the things I find there.  Her fabulous style goes beyond the computer screen - her home has been featured on the popular design website, Design*Sponge.  She really has the best style!  I'm obsessed.  So - without further ado - Susanna's "Some Things I Just Love" Picks...
