Boutique on Thursday

Hi friends!

Just wanted to let you know that if you're in the SoCal area, we have a booth at a Christmas boutique Thursday night, displaying all our glorious tidbit wares.

The boutique blog is HERE.

Map to the church is HERE.

We have lots of wreaths, banners, pillows, blankies, and plenty of girls clothing and accessories in sizes up to 4/5 yrs in most things, and up to 8/9 in a few.

Please come say hello if you can! 

 

Our Christmas boutique today

If you're free this afternoon and in the Orange County area, Shauna and I will be displaying all our new tidbit stuff at a Christmas boutique to benefit Acres of Love, an organization that provides housing, care and parenting for orphans in Africa. 

We have a ton of new banners, wreaths and accessories, many for Christmas. Here is the flyer, if you're interested. 

Hope to see you there!

ballerina brain

ballerinas are on my mind.

ella is starting ballet on tuesday.

she doesn't even know it.

her birthday is monday and i am planning on giving the information to her then.

we've been looking at pinterest photos while i pretty much convince her that she wants to be a ballerina.

i'm convinced.

not sure about her.

i went to the dance supply today and got the sweetest leotards.
(you were right about me loving that place)

ballet shoes.

tap shoes.

pink tights.

they tried to sell me a hideous bag.

i think i'll make one.

i hope she like ballet, if only for the photos i dream of taking....

p.s. i so badly wanted to just make a collage of a bunch of these pinterest photos.

but instead i tried to do the right thing and embed them so that people could get the credit they deserve.

and seriously, its such a pain.

the formatting is going crazy.

i can't center stuff.

i want to kick the computer screen.

and i'm just trying to be good.

come to the pumpkin patch!

Printable pretties

OK, the good free printables right now are everywhere, so I just need to share them with you.

They are so great, I'm giving them awards:

1. MOST BEAUTIFUL

Thanks to Megan from Contented Sparrow for this piece of autumn lovely.
(Except it's going to be up in my house year-round, I think.)

2. MOST USEFUL

Designed in order to be used for the Thankful on Paper tradition started up by Rachel over here. Totally using this beautiful paper.

Thanks to Heather from Life Made Lovely for this one. She's such a talented designer. We heart Heather.

3. MOST INSPIRING

You knew Julie would be on the list of award-winners, didn't you? This is inspired by her & Jeannett's upcoming Happy Day Project, about which I'm SO excited.

4. MOST POETIC



Laura from Splendor is responsible for posting this bit of beauty. I love how melancholy it is.


5. MOST LIKELY TO STICK WITH ME

Aly from the mommie diaries created this printable in a series of three. She displays them all on this post so that you can hang them in a series, comprising more lyrics of this great song.
Who doesn't love this old hymn? I already have it stuck in my head.


6. MOST NECESSARY

And when I say necessary, I mean these words are so important. I need to read this every day. Aly posted this one too, since she's got a good eye and a creative brain for stuff like this. Love that girl.


7. MOST ENCOURAGING

Christie from Storehouse Crafts thought to bring back this printable that Heather made last year (Christie links to that post). I'm so glad she reminded me about it! It is so simple and uplifting.
Plus, there's another deer. I like deer.

So have you seen any cute, free printables lately? Perhaps on that little planet of Pinterest?

I'm excited to find some Christmas ones. How perfect for inexpensive, seasonal decor, right?
