update on the nursery

you guys? if you saw the nursery right now, you'd laugh. like, yeah right you're going to have an infant in there in three months (gah! three months!). for real. the crib is in pieces. the closet organization system is put together, but in the floor – not in the closet. mostly because the closet is being touched up where we ripped out the old "system" and still needs to be painted. we HAVE painted the walls though. and curtains are hung. so we have started. but until i have real progress photos, i thought i'd share where we're going with it.

we got this chair for super cheap at overstock. and while we'd both love to have the real version, we couldn't justify spending that amount. so yes, it's a knockoff, but one we're both really happy with and can't wait to see in the room.

the top color block is the wall color, while the lime-ish color block is our accent color – the curtains are this color, the crib skirt will be this color and other little knick-knacks that we find to accessorize the room will be this color. the pattern on the far right? crib sheets! the moment i saw that fabric (in both the blue and pink versions), i knew that's what we'd use in the nursery. and when we found out we were having another boy, ta-da! fabric purchased. (and of course it sits and waits for me to turn it into crib sheets. soon. very soon.)

so yay for a small update, right? i do hope to have photos to show of the progress soon. and you know, our goal is just to have it done before the kiddo arrives. so we're kind of off to a good start, right?

bubbles & rain boots

what is it with kids and rain boots? cayden got his first ever pair of rain boots on saturday and has pretty much had them on non-stop. he even wore them to school today (we took a pair of back-ups just in case). they are pretty cute on him. add in the newest fascination with bubbles and we've got one happy and adorable toddler on our hands.

another new product: large totes/diaper bags

hey friends! today has been quite the day and it almost slipped my mind to share these lovely totes with you that i listed in the shop last night.

aren't they cute? the pink & green fabric combo reminds me of my strawberry shortcake collection in the 80s. anyone else? anyway, these totes are a perfect size to throw everything into. they could even be used as a great one-of-a-kind diaper bag. and with spring now in full swing, these fabrics are so light and airy that i can't help but smile!

new product reveal: small clutches

it's here, it's here! new product reveal day. you guys saw a little tease yesterday, but today? today i'm here to show you the entire product – small clutches! and there are several options to choose from (with a few more to come later in the week). awesome, right?

these small clutches are great for a night out, or a quick run to the store. really, they're perfect for anything! they hold all the essentials that you need. and if you want to carry a larger purse, just drop one of these in to keep things organized. (or maybe you don't need organization help? maybe you just need something ultra-cute to drop into your larger bags? but i digress...)

you may also notice that i've got a new backdrop set-up going on. i'll be honest, i got tired of the white. sure, it's nice and clean, but i was looking for something a little more dynamic. while we were at jeremy's grandparents house, we went across the street to the original homestead. i'm talking built in the 1800s type of old here. in one of the old barns, we found this awesome old door. and voila! a new backdrop was found. when paired with our gray walls, i think it helps give the photos a little depth while still not taking away from the actual products. so expect to see a lot more of this door in the future!
