♥ I am so in love with the Etsy community. Moreover, I’m in love with the people that are a part of it. The sellers (+ buyers!) who join Etsy are generous, thoughtful, and creative people who take pleasure in helping others succeed. I’ve never sensed a competition among sellers. In fact, there’s a common [...]

♥ WOW! So sorry for the delay in posts! We’ve made the move, but our internet won’t be ready until the 9th – yikes! That surely will be cutting it close for the shop reopening {on Wednesday!} but I will make sure it happens no matter what. I can’t wait to share all of my [...]
I’ve Closed Up Shop!

♥ On Saturday night, right before I went to bed, I shut down my shop. It’s sort of a scary thing to do, when one is used to having an Etsy shop. I opened my little corner of the internet four years ago when I first graduated from college. I was a fresh face to [...]

♥ There’s an opportunity for inspiration in every little corner of the world. Yes, even in the pantry. I’ve seen so many pretty little kitchen pantries via this wonderful internet of ours, that I wanted to share some of our own containers. To me, when things are organized and decorative, they’re easier to enjoy. I’m [...]

♥ Here’s an idea: a clipboard turned chalkboard! Sometimes I need to jot a little note to my honey accompanying the grocery list or some similar document. I decided to paint a clipboard with chalkboard paint the other day so we can quickly and easily communicate on our busiest days. Voila! A message board complete [...]

♥ There’s no rule that says your fridge face has to look messy. I love the look of a structured aesthetic and where better to practice this than the refrigerator? It’s a focal point of every kitchen, so I thought I’d work a little at redoing mine. Today I spent some time decorating clothespins and [...]

♥ Oh, what a day! I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Like, pull on my grumpy-pants, stomp around the house, be so incredibly thankful that I have a patient partner, side of the bed. But after a whole lot of whimpering + whining, and a surprise chocolate bar from [...]

♥ Ryan wowed me with this honey jar turned lotion dispenser! And I immediately knew I had to share it with you all. This is a fun way to fancy up your lotions or hand soaps, and could be made with any jar — jelly, honey, or mason! Don’t you just love the quaint look [...]

♥ I’ve been making a lot of bow ties lately. So, naturally, I had to come up with a way to display them. The modern gentleman that I envision will most like my ties probably also likes the rustic aesthetic { if he’s anything like Ryan + friends }. Thus, the twig bow tie holder [...]
