Monday Pretties!

Lots of new Valentine pretties and other great gifts just listed. Stop by and see what's new!

New Year, New Treats!

Wow! I can't believe it was October when I last posted. It was a busy holiday here and I am really happy to have the New Year upon us. As I sit here typing I have my sweet little Evangeline napping on my lap. She is 3 months old today and is growing by leaps and bounds. She is always chattering and cooing, and is the happiest baby. She is such a doll and her strawberry blond hair is beginning to come in.

On the creative front we have been busy the last few days getting ready for Valentine's Day (my favorite) and we will be listing tons of new items all week long. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter for updates and special offers this month. Here is a little preview of what's coming.

~Wishing You A Happy New Year!~

Tiny Blessings

I feel terrible for neglecting my blog for so long, however I have been a bit busy. Our sweet little girl, Evangeline Luna arrived on Oct. 2nd. She is just 3 weeks old now and we are enjoying every minute with her!

I have been getting lots of rest and thankfully, feeling pretty great! She is our third child and her big brother and sister just adore her!

My little strawberry blond, we are still trying to figure out who she resembles more. I think she has her own look with the best qualities of my husband and I.

Can't get enough of those tiny feet!

She is such a happy baby and we are so blessed to have her as the final addition to our family. We couldn't ask for anything more!
On a business note, we have begun working on new items and will be listing and re-opening later this week! Thank you for all your patience as I cherish every moment of being a Mommy to my baby girl!

Counting The Days

It has been a little while since my last post but this little girl has been keeping me on my toes, or should I say off of them! I have had to slow down and keep my feet up as I near the end of my pregnancy. Just a little over a month to go now and I am feeling it!

These were from a 3D ultrasound we had around 26 weeks. She is quite a character and was smiling at us, waving and sticking her tongue out. We can't wait to meet her and our 2 older children are beginning to think she will never actually get here. They look at me and say, Mommy, you look like you are going to explode!

With the kids back in school I now have more time to create and managed to get a few things done this week. Here is a sampling of just a few new items listed. We plan on remaining open through mid September and reopening around mid October depending when the baby decides to arrive. In the mean time hop on over and see what's new!

Hope you are enjoying you week!

Frozen Charlotte Dolls

I am currently overrun with a rather large variety of Frozen Charlotte Dolls. I was fortunate enough to receive a shipment from Germany over the weekend and am just in love with all these sweet little girls.

There are all shapes, sizes and conditions, many of which are perfect for incorporating into art projects.

I have them tucked into every basket and bowl I can find!

The little ones are tucked into boxes and are just so adorable. As much as I adore them I plan on parting with the vast majority and let others enjoy playing with them too.

They will be available here for purchase very soon!

Getting Ready For Baby

We are starting to get ready for our new little girl who will be sharing a room with her big sister. We began by painting and then putting up the crib. We still have a ways to go and lots of empty wall space but we are well on our way!

While I forgot to take before pictures, I did manage to get a few photos of my hubby and daughter painting. It was originally an off white with brown closets and beige trim. This is the oldest bedroom in the house (1915). It has very high ceilings and has had a few renovations done before we moved in. We did put in new carpet and now finally paint!

Francesca had so much fun helping out!

Even I got in the fun, painting the closet. Looking at this picture I just noticed my "baby bump" has grown quite substantially from when this was taken just 3 weeks ago. Yikes! This paint by the way was wonderful! Almost completely odor free! We used a blush pink for the walls and marshmallow white for the ceiling and trim. I chose a soft green which I took from my daughter's bedding as an accent color for the closet and switch plates, etc.

A few after pictures.

Mr. Leo had was very curious throughout the entire process.

Francesca's bed. . .we have lots of wall space to fill and I am hoping to do a bit of treasure hunting this coming week. I also want to get a pink chandelier for the lighting.

The baby's crib. . . I considered painting it white but that just seemed like too much work at this point. I actually like the way it looks as is. Our other children used it and it is still like new! It also converts into a daybed which is nice for the toddler years.

I absolutely love this quilt!! So soft and vintage. I am going to create an eyelet dust ruffle and we still need a mobile but at least it is a start!

Love this super soft ruffly pillow.

Starting to get a few things for her!

My favorite piece of all is this beautiful hand crocheted baby blanket my sister made. She is so talented! I can't wait to snuggle up with my little one this coming Winter.

Thanks so much for visiting! Have a wonderful week!
