Daniel and I got married right after we graduated college. We were broke and had no furniture. Daniel’s dresser was a plastic storage bin with drawers, and my clothes were stacked in laundry baskets in the corner. Thanks to some generous wedding gifts, we were able to get a bedroom set. We found one for a [...]
I’ve been finding loads of great stuff on Etsy recently. Which of these is your favorite? I’ll take one of each please! I’m pretty sure my little dog, Mabel, would fit in the onesie. I’m not normally one for dog clothes, but that elephant is almost too cute to pass up. I’d just have to [...]
I had some jello tins leftover from my candle making, and I wanted to use them as popsicle molds. I was searching for a nice healthy recipe when I stumbled across these Nutella popsicles. I quit kidding myself about the healthy thing and picked up a fresh jar of Nutella. These are like fudgsicles—but better! 1/2 [...]
Feel free to make fun of my current baking pan obsession, but I can’t help myself. Have you seen these old Ovenex baking pans that are imprinted with a starburst pattern?

Every shop needs a sign, right? I picked up some hanging metal letters from Lackluster Co, and I’m going to suspend them in my studio. I love them! I think they would also look great displayed in my bathroom over the sink “WASH YOUR HANDS”, in my kitchen “DROP THE COOKIE, FATTY”, or over my [...]
Ever since I saw this photograph I’ve been on the lookout for some vintage glasses to hold a few tea lights. Aren’t these great? They give off such a nice warm glow!
Last month I saw this diy calendar journal and knew I had to make one of my own. A calendar journal includes a card for each day of the year. Everyday you write down the year and one thing you did that day. So, next year when I’m writing my calendar journal entry on January [...]
If I could rewind the past four years and redo my wedding I would want to carry one of these stunning brooch bouquet’s down the aisle. I bet I could even persuade Lionsgate Designs to include some of the brooches my grandma gave me from her jewelry collection. Now where can I get a time [...]
