i'm sure that by now you've heard of the new shop, nice package.
it's a darling shop of various packaging goods.
oh, i just love pretty packages and supplies. i've had dreams of opening my own supply shop... maybe one day..
check out their goods here, and here, and their very cute blog here.
i absolutely love this calendar! what a great idea!
when nichole robertson was living in paris, she took photo after photo hoping to use them for her home. then, she came up with a great idea to make a darling calendar with the photo's she collected.
they are now available to purchase in her shop!
this would be a great christmas gift idea!

remember when you were a kid and you had to sit at the kids table at holiday gatherings?
well, i don't think i'd mind sitting at this one put together by sweet paul.
love the his idea of using kraft paper as the table cloth and drawing in some place mats! makes for some good entertaining with coloring and easy clean up!
.... i was staying at this adorable little cottage in sweden. can you believe chelsea of frolic has been spending the last few months here! what a lucky girl!
... i can dream, right?
i couldn't be more obsessed with pesto mayo on a nice hot panini!

as i make my jewelry, and participate in these great local markets. i feel very proud of the handmade movement and feel strongly about supporting local unique handmade goods.
so, i took the pledge. and, i'm urging you to take the pledge too. click here.
this means, i will "pledge to buy handmade this holiday season, and i urge others to do the same for me."
i've already started as i've attended a few local handmade markets, and will continue to this holiday season through etsy and the upcoming beehive bazaar.
it just takes a little planning. start writing your christmas list today, and keep in mind who you are shopping for when you go to these shows. trust me, you'll find much more unique items at these shows than at a mall, and they are handmade with love... and often times a bargain!
if you are shopping on etsy or other handmade sites, keep in mind the time it takes to ship and plan ahead for that so you can have all your goodies here on time.
feels great knowing how and where products are produced that you are buying!
good luck! and, take the pledge already!

i completely forgot to post pictures of my little norah's blessing dress.
i'm sure you got a little peek at it when you saw pictures of her room.
i hung it up to take a few pictures, then decided to keep it below her shelf because it looked so darn cute there.
anyhow, i really loved her little dress, and she looked like a little doll in it. [see pictures of her in it on my photography blog, here]
it's a feltman brothers dress. i love it because it looks very vintage, and is very simple. my favorite part was the pink embroidery and pleats on the front!
my latest post for the zupas blog is now up!
go and check out my recipe for chicken and vegetable corn chowder. sooo good! can you say comfort food? and, it has one of my favorite vegetables for soup in it! .... leeks!
