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.

smocked auctions

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

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.

I’ve also been gathering cake inspiration for Em’s party. I love these three. They have such interesting textures.

sweet treat bags

Although it may seem early, plans for Em’s birthday party in April are already underway. [I can't believe she's almost 2!] I’ve been checking out different places for ideas and supplies and came across these cute treat bags from Shop Sweet Lulu. They have a ton of different + colorful options!

sari tutus on zulily

I blogged about these gorgeous sari tutus before and received several emails about where to purchase them. Good news! They are on sale on Zulily today.

The last time they were on Zulily, I actually bought a couple of them – one for em and one for my niece. I was really impressed with the quality. The waist tie is even silk dupioni. So pretty.

spoons – chevron, stripes + dots

Just spotted these hand-painted wooden spoons from Shop Sweet Lulu. I’ve bookmarked them for Em’s party next year!
