pop quiz

Would you like to guess what is pictured above?

a] paint
b] ink
c] food

If you said c, you’re right. Who knew baby food could be such a pretty color? You just need bananas, beets + blueberries. When Em was done eating, she looked like she was wearing fuchsia lipstick. Funny stuff.

Hope your weekend was fun!

polka dot straws

I just spotted these polka dot straws and pinned them to my party board. With Em turning one in a couple of months, I’ve got to get on the party planning bus!

envelope opening

envelope_open2

The other day, I was visiting my cousin. She had just received a pretty invitation. I watched her open it. Instead of ripping it open from the top, she popped it open from the side.

I thought it was such a great trick. Afterward, you can tuck the side flap back inside.

This way, the envelope stays nice + intact for safekeeping.

you are loved // a closer look

I wanted to highlight this frameable heart print from our Valentine Collection. It is the first ever art print we’ve offered in our shop, and I’m so pleased with how it turned out. Each is a limited edition as only 25 were printed. On the back, every print is signed and numbered.

you are loved print

It’s a small print at only 4.75″ x 4.75″ but it’s full of sweetness! It fits nicely in the 9″ square RIBBA frame from Ikea.

you are loved print

The print itself is a two color job. Two soft pink ink colors were used, so each print went through the printing process twice by hand. “You are loved” is featured on each print and I think it’s a great message – either for gifting or as a self-affirmation.

däv rain boots

I feel like I’m always posting something from Zulily but I can’t help it! I always see something I love from there. Today, I’m trying to talk myself out of hitting the buy button for these boots. Get this, they’re rain boots! And if you think they only have kid stuff there, you’ll be surprised that these are actually boots for women. Oh, how I love the floral ones with heels.

stylish storage

Two stylish storage options I recently bookmarked. I’m shocked that both are from mainstream places. The first from Pottery Barn. The second from Target.

dressing em // no. 2

I’ve mentioned before how much I love finding clothes for Em and putting together outfits for her. This is another one of my favorite dresses from her wardrobe. It’s a pretty little embroidered hand-me-down. It’s a shame it won’t fit her in three months because I think it would make an adorable party dress for her first birthday.
