Well here it is- our second anniversary and it's the year of cotton.... and I'm at a lose. Usually I am so great at gift giving, if I do say so myself.... but this year with $$$ the way it is, mentally I just couldn't go there so I put it off. PLUS last year we said we would buy ourselves new cotton sheets for our 2nd- and with our new King Bed in April we bought 2 sets! Sooooooo..... wait what's my excuse? and we have badass vintage tablecloths that I used to decorate the tables at our wedding and later in the summer at our big party.... so that idea is taken. Last year was paper, which was fun- I was given a sketch book and pens and I made a cool diorama for Cam using a pic of us from our wedding day see our paper gifts here.... and check out Last year's blog post with more pics from our wedding day. Later in the summer I bought Cam a cool photograph of a bee keeper (something he wants to do) from a student at Salt. The photograph is framed and hangs in our bedroom.
In the mean time while I mull this over- here are some ideas for COTTON I have found through searching online: linens, towels, cotton hammock, furniture, rugs and carpets- hmmm this is actually on our nesting to do list...
anywho, I'll let you know what we come up with, but ultimately the important thing is having a nice meal together and traveling down memory lane and taking time to be mushy and all that stuff with a netflix movie in the mix and a walk with little dog.
*Update! we bought some nice new COTTON sheets this summer for our anniversary!

we are dorks and like to go out to dinner and then buy something for the house that we have been wanting. the first year we bought 2 photographs. this year we bought... wait for it.... totally sexy radiator covers! but they were something we couldn't otherwise justify and they were mad bank considering their size. sigh. although, i must admit every time i look at them i think of our 2nd anni!
lol- so true sarah I agree! Hence why a fun rug would be awesome! I'm all about planning a memory like a dinner, etc or having something for the house that you will have for many years to come.
