Happy Fifth

So today happens to be the 5th anniversary since the boy and me were married. He’s been super sweet today, I must say. I woke up to little love post its around the house (even on the milk carton). Then, when I finally got around to running errands, I found another note, complete with an [...]

Bathing Beauties

There’s nothing like memorial day weekend to bring on thoughts of an era gone by. War heros and pin up girls…could there be anything better? Perhaps a classy swimsuit or two!

Haute Seat: Birdie

It’s not often I get to simply attend a craft show. Usually, I’m in the mix creating, setting up, tearing down and generally getting no sleep. So how lucky was I that this month I was able to visit the indie craft fair Deluxe, to shop. While I was there I met the cutest girl with [...]

Furrrr…

I have to admit I may be a bit obsessed. Since the kittens arrival on monday, I have feline fever (no, it’s not like swine flu…yes, it is contagious)! Here are just a few of the many, MANY pictures I’ve taken of them. Oh, and I’ve still got three who will need a good home. Just [...]

Celeb Hair Accessories

So I’ll concede that without Blaire, the sweet bow headband may never have made a comeback. And credit Nicole (or Paris) for the hippie headband. Whether we like it or not, celebs are often fearless leaders of a fashion statement. Here are a few who got it right.

I love retro-esque hair accessories and would wear [...]

Kittens

We’ve had quite the weekend! Our friends, megan and jordan got married on friday (so cute…pics to follow). Then crazy house hunting on saturday. Then last night when we got home, the community hooker (a.k.a. our apartment stray cat), Dirty Harriet, was laying all sick-like on our doormat. Did I mention she’s prego? yeah…
After pulling [...]

Here Comes Wedding Season

Ahhh…isn’t it lovely when really cool people decide to tie the knot? I think so. Tonight, two of the coolest kids on the block are kicking off wedding season by getting hitched and I can’t wait! I thought I’d give you a hint of what it might look like (they’re arguably some of the most indie peeps I know).
