love notes

It's been a little while since I posted my last set of love notes. Do you remember when I posted them here? Well, they're back.

Dear Frank Sinatra,
     I heart your music. I heart it a lot. Even though I've heard that you were quite a butthead in your day, I'm going to pretend that you were just a sweet crooner.
                                                                           Sincerely,
                                                                     I Think I've Flown Before

Dear Pedicures,
     I think you're pretty swell. I like a good calf massage & a pop of color on my tootsies as much as the next girl. Sometimes your water is a little too hot for me, but I suck it up in the name of beauty. Thanks for always making my toes smile.
                                                                           Sincerely,
                                                                       One Happy Camper

Dear Vogue,
     We've been spending time together now for quite a number of years. I like to think of us as good friends. I love what you offer me & I always treat you with the utmost care. That said, if I ever open to a full page ad with Cameron Diaz again we will have words.
                                                                        Signed,
                                                            You Know What You Did

Dear Waitresses,
     I'm not going to mince words on this one. I've had my fair share of horrendous service. Some of you are tremendous & delightful. Yesterday I was sent one of you who hooked me up with a kid's meal served in a cardboard boat. This was Uh-Mazin' in itself. When I asked for a fresh boat untainted by food, she did not dismiss my wishes. I find that to be swell.
                                                                        Love,
                                                              Forever a Kid at Heart

Dear Bath and Body Works,
     It's been a long time since we saw one another. You looked well. I think we shared a moment when the kid behind the counter hunted down a specific scent for me and I bought the world's greatest air freshener. As always, you don't disappoint. {Unlike your sister Victoria's Secret with a serious lack of maxi skirts & an overabundance of sweatpants}.
                                                                          Regards,
                                                                           Moi

Dear Jamiah on Fire and the Red Machine,
      I was fortunate enough to hear your Blues act recently & I must say I was impressed. At 11, 13, & 17 you made me wonder, "Is it too late to take up the recorder and become part of their act?" But in all seriousness, holy wow!
                                                                Sincerely,
                                                           Consider This Girl a New Fan

yours truly

Dear Animal Print,

I never used to like animal print of any kind. Whenever I've looked at it, it all just seemed so poorly designed- cheap and tacky. Lately; however, my opinion has been swayed. Cheetah print in particular, you should take this as a compliment because I'm quite staunch in my opinions. It all started with some zebra printed stationery for school. My interests have grown to make room for a thrifted scarf & a ridiculously fabulous pair of flats from Target. I wasn't sure if I was ready to take it to the next level, but you talked me into it with your sweet talk. Now I'm the proud owner of a glorious print skirt. What's next for us? I might be ready to take this relationship to the next level.

Yours,
Patti

Dear Lauren Conrad,

Soooooooo I used to watch you when you were on Laguna Beach and I always rooted for you over Kristin Cavalleri. I've never read your books & I won't lie, I probably never will. But I am a regular Beauty Department reader {okay, I regularly scope out this web page, too} and I've pinned quote a few of your hairstyles as things I wish my hair would do if it were sleek & straight. Recently I've become quite a fan of your entire clothing line and accessories at Kohl's. Seriously, I squealed like Maxwell, the pig from the Geico commercials when I looked at everything available. I'm now the proud owner of several pieces of your fabulous jewelry at a swell discount.

Super Hugs,
Patti


Dear cupcakes & balloons,

I love you. Let's get married. <3

XOXO,
Patti

Little Love Letters

I fully intend to finish my closet series, but guys- you need to see the state of my closet and bedroom. There's so much I want to do and I don't know where to start. I've been working on getting everything up on hangers, logged, and photographed. It's practically my full-time job. Some days I've been so busy getting things done that I haven't even bothered to get dressed until 4 p.m.

Anyway, this post isn't about my endeavors. This is about little love notes.
