a banana wagon!

8:39 PM

Madeline & Max LOVE to (sneek) and take pictures with my camera. I often download my pictures only to find at least 10 extra ones on there that I had no idea about. But I have to say this picture that I downloaded a few days ago has been the most random.

Apparently they made a banana wagon...hmmm....I am a little disturbed though by the hair and dirt particles on it. Like it fell on the ground a couple of times before they decided to put it on wheels. Ha!

Melly & Me

7:52 AM

I love this purse. It's handmade but looks a little different from the typical handmade bag or purse. This is from Melly & Me, they make wonderful things and sell their patterns for around $12. I have a couple of their patterns for stuffed animals, but I have yet to find the time to sit down and try to make them. I am relatively new to patterns and I often find myself improvising and then the design doesn't look quite as I planned.

PS!!! They are having a drawing for this purse on their website (the link is above in red). Just leave a comment about this design and you could possibly win this exact one!

Valentine's Day

etsy store that i love...

2:00 PM

I just bought these images off a boutique I love on etsy called Land of Enchantment. I just love the victorian/vintage images they have. I don't know yet what I will do with them, I'm thinking of using them for my Valentine cards or making a banner with them. Hmmm, we shall see.

Free Printables

free printable Valentine design!

8:42 PM

I was browsing the many blogs on "my idea blogs" list and found this free printable valentine goodie bag at a blog I love, called how about orange.

This is a design from Twig & Thistle (love this blog as well). To get this free download go here. I am in love with it. You could use it for a goodie bag or even a card.

bathroom

a little out of the ordinary...

1:04 PM

If I ever move to London (why not?) I think I would just have to buy this shower curtain of the London Subway system. I wish they had one for Paris. If they did, I would buy one just so I could take a trip down memory lane whenever I took a bath. ;) I still remember riding the red line toward Le Defense, then hopping onto the SNCF to go home to St. Cloude, a suburb of Paris. Did I really do that on a weekly basis? What a strange life I've led. ;)

Above is a map of the Paris Train System. The red line is the line we used to take to go home from a night strolling up and down the Champs Elysees.

the "January Blues"

10:41 AM

So a lady I know wrote a fabulous blog about the January blues and all I have to say is"ditto" to everything she said about this grey dreary month. I NEED the sun to shine soon, very soon. I too have no energy or motivation to do all my many wife/motherly chores. My husband seems concerned (promise, I'm just fine honey) it's just this season.

So I have decided to deal with it with good music and a little sarcasm...I love all of these prints from Anne Taintor. Even if you are in denial that being a house wife is hard, you can't help but laugh at one of the captions.

happy song!

10:43 PM

Listen to this song from Vampire Weekend called "Horchata".

I was listening to it on the way home from the store and I swear my surrounding changed from brown-yucky-muddy snow to dancing in some exotic location...I don't really know where, just some place happy and fun.
