new etsy items!

ooh la la

i love all of these dresses from anthropologie! too bad they're all out of my price range..oh, well. maybe i can alter something from goodwill:)

my first custom order!

i got a request from a woman on etsy to make a onesie with the letters "npr" on the front. because these are her nephew's initials and his father loves the radio station, she wanted it to look like the npr t-shirts sold on the station's website. i ended up hand cutting a freezer paper stencil, and i think it turned out pretty good! it was really fun to do a custom order. hopefully there will be more:)

hunting for a new coffee table...

it really is lovely, but it gets so darn dirty.

i love our coffee table, i really do. but i'm slowly realizing that i'm just not cut out for a glass coffee table. smudges, hand prints, glass rings, etc. drive me crazy C.R.A.Z.Y. sadly, i'm not exaggerating. i've decided to start looking for something a little less high maintenance.

i don't think this one would look too bad...

i would really love this one, but i'm not sure how a round table would fit in the space. my old high school was throwing away several of these when they renovated their library, but someone took them before my dad could get me one (rats).

my friend suzanna has one of the coolest coffee tables i've ever seen. her husband made it out of a beautiful piece of wood. i'll try to get a picture when we visit them in pennsylvania this weekend:).
