2011 January — The Pleated Poppy

January 31, 2011

this is one of the happiest pieces in my home – my mustard dresser.

the day i painted this was the day i welcomed in color and said “no more!” to just white.

the drawers are filled with thomas the train tracks and accessories, gift wrap/tags, and tinker toys. you know, the things that are hard to fit anywhere else!

i snagged this frame from a friend’s garage sale about 8 years ago. it needs a little glue, but i still love the wide, beachy stripes.

my sister sent me a fun gift a couple years ago, including these vintage type press letters.

this letter c was a fun find a few years ago when my best friend and i met for the weekend in portland with our then babies.

and it just happens to sit right next to one of my most very favorite stacks of books – all inspiring, inside and out!

monday madness

January 31, 2011

i’m home from blissdom and have hit the ground running!

new petal drop necklaces are in the shop – and not just a few!

these are the very last of the valentine’s posies i’ll have – all sold in singles, both pins and hair clips.

yay for new colors! i just listed mustard and dark chocolate petal pushers, along with some of my other standard colors.

and another new color for ruffled scarves as well – snow white!

i also updated a couple other colors and many many more will be coming hopefully later this week – yipppeeeee!

i am super overwhelmed coming back to reality from blissdom. i so want to post on my time there, but i’m still processing so much, not to mention catching up after taking off a week from work and family. it will come soon, but i need to let the emotions settle a little first ;)
