Day 1155 | Christmas in July

I know it's August and I should have done this post yesterday (the title would have made more sense anyway) but I just couldn't contain my enthusiasm any longer. Check out all these sweet (and really thoughtful) gifts I got in July. I'm not sure how I ended up with such generous family, but I'm beyond excited and super appreciative.

Top left: My mom made this amazing cowl for me! She made it! We spotted it at a local fabric store and she recreated it with contrast stitching and all. Although there's no part of me excited for colder temperatures to creep in, at least being able to wear this new scarf will make it more bearable. 

Top right: Chris brought me back this funny + adorable sloth print from his recent trip to Asheville. I love it...and him for that matter.

Middle right: I scored this Turkish towel from Chris's brother's family that lives in...wait for it...Turkey. That's right, it's the real deal. I've heard rave reviews about these towels so I'm excited to experience their magic first hand.

Bottom left: My sweet niece hand-selected this little cat clutch for me when they were on vacation. She knows me so well! I'll think of her every time I use it. 

Bottom right: My best-gift-giver-ever sister in-law found this amazing necklace for me when on (the same) vacation and I couldn't be more excited about it. I'm not kidding that I've been needing this exact necklace for so long and just haven't had the time/energy/motivation to go out looking for it. And now I own it! I think I've worn it about three or four times a week since she gave it to me. Seriously perfect! 

Thank you again, dear family, for showering me with such generosity. I'm feeling loved, that's for sure. :)
