Melanie from You Are My Fave has an eye for all things lovely. Her signature phrase "spotted, and hearted" is such a perfect series capturing colorful, beautiful things that would end up on all of our list of faves'. Thanks for writing Melanie! - What inspires you? blogs, paper goods, the art supply store, going on bike rides, summertime, pretty parties, Flickr

Why did you began blogging? I needed a place to store all of these great ideas I was finding for interiors, parties and pretty goods. I also needed a little outlet from a crappy job I had.
What is an amazing thing that happened to you because of blogging? I never thought I would make a friend from the Internet (it just sounds a little sketchy) but I'm convinced that Karenof Prada Answer and I are best friend soul mates. We talk on a regular basis. I also posted about some peanut butter cupcakes once and that very day my friend made them and brought them to my doorstep.
What is your day job/dream job? Right now I substitute teach and I'm the wife to a law student (which is really a full time job). It may not sound that great but I'm kind of in love with my life. My dream job would be to be a member of the Olympic committee or a party planner.
