Holiday Inspiration

I've been keeping a file on my computer full of inspirational pictures and such that I feel really call out to me.  Here are some of my favorites:  (I apologize that I don't have any sources.  I found all of these throughout the past few years and never recorded where I pulled them from.  If you know a source, let me know and I will give credit to the source)

Happy Holidays!

Fall is coming!

Hello All,
We have been busy creating items for the season. What is your favorite part of fall? Halloween, autumn or thanksgiving. I love them all. We just listed a set of fun loving ghosts to etsy.  I love painting with the fall colors, they are my natural color pallet. As Nicole would say, they are Mom colors. I have a few more Halloween and fall items up my costume sleeve, so stop back and see us again.

Summertime wishes

This is the time of the year when I start thinking of all the things I wanted to do over the summer and didn't take the time. Like taking time to hike through a state park, wandering through the farmers market, or sipping a glass of lemonade while daydreaming in a beautiful garden. There is still a few weeks of nice weather left, What would you do with your time?

Summer Travel - Chicago

 Chicago was amazing.  I knew as soon as stepped off the subway that I could easily live in Chicago in the future!  It was beautiful and full of energy.

Tuesday

This week has been quite a trial.  My head is killing me and I would love to just fall asleep for an entire week!  I just have to buckle down and get the things done that I need to this week!

I would much rather be spending my last weeks of summer on the lake.

 Or sewing...

Summer Travel - The Arizona Desert

 After coming back home to the humid mid-west, I can now reflect on how beautiful and amazing the desert was!  Even though it was over 100 some days, the dry heat was much more tolerable than the humidity. I had a wonderful five days in and around the Phoenix area of Arizona.  I find traveling to be extremely addicting.  Every time I travel, I end up coming home with a new trip in mind, trying to figure out ways to save money for it!  I think I would enjoy going west again...maybe Seattle?  or San Fransisco?

It was a great vacation.  Made some new friends, explored the desert, soaked in the pool and ate some fantastic Mexican food.  It was exactly what I needed.
