We took a little weekend trip to visit family and hoped to bring Em to her first Mardi Gras parade but we got rained out! I think she would have loved it. Maybe next year…
To those that celebrate it, hope you have a happy + safe Mardi Gras!
happy mardi gras!
alexander & co.
Flipping through the latest Pottery Barn Kids, catalog I noticed these Alexander & Co. personalized prints. It took me a bit, then I realized I had pinned the ballet one some time back! They are well done + a wonderful idea for a nursery or big kid’s room.
happy heart day
Outtakes from a little photo shoot I recently did with Em. Hope your Valentine’s Day is a happy one!
going to portland, oregon
My cousin is very special to me. She’s an older cousin – a retired school teacher – who helped raise me. She also watches Em a few days a week which allows me to work on this business. I am very, very grateful.
My cousin loves traveling. She’s been to every state in the US expect one – Oregon. Kacey and I really wanted to do something special for her. So when Christmas came around, we gifted her a trip to Portland, Oregon so she could accomplish her 50 state quest. I designed + printed these tickets to gift her, and she was delighted and so surprised when she opened them up!
Sweet readers this is where I would love your help. Please share your Portland, Oregon recommendations! Places to stay. Things to see. Places to eat. We’ll be joining her on her journey, and we’d love to hear all of your suggestions!
smocked auctions
I love dressing Em in smocked dresses and I’m always hunting for pretty ones that don’t cost a pretty penny. These are two that I recently bought for Em at Smocked Auctions. I was a little nervous because I wasn’t sure what to expect quality wise but I just received the strawberry dress and I am so pleased! The dress material is nice and so is the smocking. It’s absolutely adorable. I’m so excited about them and can’t wait for the weather to warm up so Em can wear them!
glass jar pendants
Flipping through the latest West Elm magazine, these pendant lights caught my eye. Love the shapes!
office supply fave // embroidery scissors
Another favorite unconventional office supply? Embroidery scissors. I got this particular pair at the premiere of Handmade Nation a couple of years ago. I use them all the time. They are nice + sharp and perfect for cutting washi tape, ribbon + twine.
