Around Here Lately

An early birthday present from my parents : )

A find originally destined for the home shop, but may just need to stick around. I'm realizing quirky colorful art is my jam.

The cutest vintage dress, in need of a good soak and then headed to the shop next week!

My sunny neighborhood.

At-home workout gear, for when I am good and get my butt in gear. My favorite quick workout is my Beach Babe video set.

A thrifted JCrew blouse waiting to be worn this spring.

Sparkly vintage brooches headed to the shop soon.

I have been having so much fun with this Mod Podge Dimensional Magic. Fantastic crafting possibilities.

A few images from around the house lately, because its been awhile. Spending today editing photos, organizing inventory and updating the website. Hope your weekend was fun and relaxing, I am happy to say that mine was : ) Happy Monday!

The fattest bird that sits in the tree outside the kitchen window eating berries every morning

Sometimes when you are estate-saling, you dig up an original painting in the exact color scheme you are going for in your living room in a dusty old basement. Then you buy it for $1 and hang it up pronto.

The coolest paint markers I got for Christmas

Plants : )

Another great Christmas present to add to my stoneware mug collection ^

My shop is taking over my house. Sorry, husband.

Around Here Lately

Scenes from around here this week. Lots of raking, organizing and shooting new vintage, burning Christmas scented candles, a couple gorgeous sunsets, puppy sitting and enjoying settling into a new schedule where our work days end at 5 (for the most part) and we feel like real adults. Oh yah and I got bangs (!!). We are still having fun messing around with our new photo setup so the photo above is a fake-guitar-playing-me with new said bangs and pretending to be cool. Happy Monday everyone!

The Colors of Summer

Summertime is so colorful isn't it? I really noticed this week how bright everything is during the warmer months and how that one aspect really affects my mood. Here's some bright and colorful photos from this week to put you in a cheerful mindset as well on this rainy day.

A New Arrival

It's been a little quiet around the blog this week due to an adorable new addition to the family! Our brand new niece Hannah Jane was born on Monday night, and we are so excited. Owen and I drove down to New York Monday morning to wait with Owen's family for the call she had been delivered, and we could go see her. Nothing beats the new baby smell - I think I sniffed poor little Hannah's head about thirty times. Such a happy day : )
