'Member?

Remember how I told you I was working on some new things for the shop?

Well... you're on the inside track... so I'm revealing one to you... right now!

I've just launched a new product... sweet handmade custom nameplates, perfect for any nursery or child's room...

I'm really excited to introduce these guys. I LOVE that they're unisex... so they make great gifts for little boys and little girls. And each one is made to order. You can't beat that!

I initially made a set of these when my cousin's little girl, Karis, arrived last year. And I got so many inquiries about them when I blogged about it that I decided to give everyone a chance to own a set for themselves!

So... now you can!

I'll be sharing info on more new goodies for the shop here soon. So stay tuned!!

The shop preparing for fall!

Although part of me will be very sad to say goodbye to summer and all the great things it brought me this year

(yes, including you, precious little flutterbys)...

part of me is DYING to get jumping into fall!

 

There's something about the cool, crisp mornings...

And adding pumpkin spices to my lattes...

And pulling out my thick, cozy socks to keep my feet warm in bed...

 

It all means we can decorate for fall +

the holidays are just around the corner!

 

Woohoo!!

Check out the newly discounted autumn-inspired pieces in my shop...

Little Ewes!

Howdy to the flock!
 
I am SO excited that this day has come... I have been working on this little project for quite a while now... and these little creatures have finally come to life!
 
Flock, I'd like to introduce...
 
 

Starting tomorrow, you will be able to order your own custom Little Ewes portrait from the shop... transforming your family, your softball team, your school class or any other grouping of people into Little Ewes!!
 
 

 
 
Each Little Ewes creation is made just for you - based on a picture (or a combination of pictures) you provide... we can even include pets in your Little Ewes portrait!
 
This is a custom service, so the possibilities are absolutely endless!
 
 

 
 
And in addition to prints, soon you'll be able to have your Little Ewes printed onto stationary, thank you cards and paper goods in addition to other treasures!
 
Here is a thumbnail sample based on the picture shown above:
 
 

 
 
I'm building an FAQ list that I will post here soon.
In the meantime, please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
 
Yippee!!
I hope you love these as much as I do!!

Shop Addition!

I am SO excited to introduce the newest item in the shop!

I've been working on several designs of glass pendants and this adorable one is the first of hopefully many to come!
 


 
 
They are a labor of love, but I'm really enjoying designing & creating each one.
 
 



I hope you like it as much as I do!!

xxoo!

helloooo lovaaaah!!

(Excuse my post title... I couldn't resist quoting the fabulous SJP from Sex & the City! It just seemed so apropos...)

A quick and worthy shout-out to Nicole of talklikelovers for featuring my Tree Hugger piece in her "etsy finds friday" edition last week!
 


Too sweet. Please check out her shop - she has some super charming pieces. :)

Thanks, Nicole!!

Shutter-happy

I have finally got my camera working again (yippee!) and had somewhat of a photography marathon in my studio this past week to update the shop...
Woohoo!!




This has been on my to-do list for a while - so I'm over the moon that it's finally begun.
 
Enjoy the new *and improved* pics!
 
(More to come in the coming weeks!)

 

Hitting RESET

Wow. WHAT a day! I know I'm not the only one out there who sometimes has those days - you know the ones... when you want to jump into your favorite comfy pajamas, crawl back into bed and just start over again tomorrow! And yet - alas - the day goes on - expecting things from you - assuming you will show up, do your best, and smile smile smile!
 
Unfortunately I could not start over today. But - after a quick early evening jog - I did what any self-respecting gal in my shoes would do ... something that ALWAYS comforts me after a rough day: I whipped up some scrambled eggs and a toasted, BUTTERED english muffin for dinner. YUM!! (And shhhh - don't tell - but I also sneaked in a glass of wine!! Aaaahhhh... that's better!!) I would have taken a picture of my fabulous comfort-food-spread - but I scarfed it down before there was any chance of that! :)
 
So now I'm ready to start over fresh tomorrow morning. I'm going to snuggle with my puppy for a bit while we watch the Food Network Chocolate Masterpieces Challenge (don't you LOVE all the Food Network cake design challenges?! - I sometimes have dreams of making cookies, cakes & chocolates all day long for a living, going home each night smelling like gingerbread, sugar cookies, and nutmeg).
 
And now... some shop news!
I have been working on some new pieces for the shop!!! WOOHOO!! I'm REALLY excited about each of them! I promise I'll announce a shop update as soon as everything is ready. 
 
Allright, little lambs. I hope you all had great days! And if not, grab your comfiest of comfy p.j.'s and do what I'm going to do... start over tomorrow!!
 
xxoo!
