Etsy Love

This "Rock, Paper, Scissors" pull down from Gritty City Goods is too fun!

This vintage dress from Shop Exile puts hearts in my eyes.

I'm in love with this old toy I found in the Antiques BG shop.

This charm bracelet from Paper Cherries is so sweet!

These are some of the things I'm loving over on Etsy right now.  Have you found anything amazing lately?

Snapshots: Studio

Confession: I've been tanking when it comes to my new year's resolutions.  It happens every year.  It's a thing.  I never started a journal, I've had about 2 dates so far (counting the one happening later this week), and cutting back the sugar?  HA!  What was that even about??  One thing I have invested time in, though, is the one about total studio organization.  Whenever I get a chunk of free time, I tackle a little bit of my studio/bedroom in hopes that one day it will be totally tidy, organized, and worthy of photos.  I'm gonna make this one happen... even if it means actually taking care of those additional coats of paint I've been avoiding.  ;)

Oh, Valentine

If you've been reading my blog or following me on Instagram for any amount of time, you probably already know that Hope can take ANY holiday and make it fun.  The girl lives for celebrations and giving.  I've never been a Valentines Day hater or anything like that, but she really took this day and made it something special.

We started the day with brunch and came home to handmade gifts she had thoughtfully put together for us.  She made me a ring from a bead and twist-tie.  In amazement she asked, "Can you believe I found that bead in the fireplace?!"  Cool.  And gross.  Johnny got some awesome customized socks and Poe got a heart bracelet Hope gave up from her personal collection.  Each was wrapped carefully with a different hand-drawn Valentine card.

Johnny and I went out for fancy-ish dinner later that night, and I have to say, the best part of Vday wasn't being out and about with the (stuffy) adults.  Don't get me wrong, I DO enjoy some adult time and don't get it quite often enough, but the best part of the day was being showered with love by two little girls.  Oh, and pie.
