sweet-and-sparksweet-and-sparksweet-and-sparksweet-and-spark sweet-and-sparksweet-and-spark sweet-and-sparkHappy Thanksgiving friends! I’m thankful for a lot of reasons today and every day. I’m thankful for my family and friends near and far, my jobs and for life’s moments good and bad because they remind me to appreciate the small things in life that really matter.

Since this is the beginning of the holiday season, it’s easy to get wrapped up into the business of the holidays, but remember take the time to appreciate life and what’s important to you.

As promised, here are a few snapshots of my Sweet & Spark vintage birthday brunch that I hosted in my apartment a few weeks back. I appreciate everybody that was able to celebrate my day and am thankful for all the love.

xoxo, 
Peggy

twotwotwotwotwotwotwotwotwotwoTwo. Wow! Today marks my second blogiversary, if you couldn’t tell. I’m definitely in awe of what HAMR has evolved into in just two years and am so happy and appreciative of all the love and support from my readers.

I started HAMR two years ago with a mindset of self-discovery and documenting my evolving style. It was also a creative outlet for both my sister, Eleni and I to share our creativity and to focus our attention away from our day jobs; plus, it gave us an excuse to hang out together since we didn’t live together anymore. Eleni (and my mom Angie, who make up Limani Designs) not only takes my photos, but she’s really my number one supporter and I’d be lost without her.

I can’t even begin to thank everybody else who has supported me and has been here for me. So many great opportunities have happened with HAMR over the last year and I’m still amazed by it all. I’ve also met a great network of bloggers this past year and have formed some great friendships.

If you asked me last year if I expected any of this, I would have said no. I’ve been growing side by side with HAMR these last couple of years and I’m really excited to see what’s next for us.

XOXO,
Peggy

Yesterday was my 30th birthday! Can you believe it because I really can’t. Apparently time flies fast when you’re having fun (typical cliche) but honestly, I can’t complain. I remind myself that everything will be okay and that life is truly wonderful with all the ups and downs. Read More
