I have followed Stephanie's blog (stephmodo forever). If you don't already it is delightful and full of beautiful original content. I love that her pie shaped boxes and picnic flatware are now being sold at Anthropologie!

I admire Athropologie for working with people instead of simply knocking them off.

vintage knobs

The Atlanta store is open but I still have a lot of details to finish. I decided to use vintage knobs as hooks for the dressing rooms and had fun perusing Etsy for fabulous knobs.  These are some that I loved but didn't end up getting....

1. beautiful colors on plywood

2. shinny red

3. vintage bunnies

If anyone has any tips on turning knobs into hook....please share.

paint it

Do you ever feel like you might go nuts if you don't make something with your hands? I found these on pinterest today and I wish I could pick one up right now. I am not sure that I am steady enough to do my walls but some forgiving wrapping paper might be in my near future. You can check out some more patterns at the painted house.

How about you... Have you made anything lately?

etsy love

I am always measuring my children because they are our in house fit models. This would be perfect for my office to replace my pencil marks.
If you want your own you can find it on Etsy at Kims Sister.

Love these treasures from Etsy.

I am in love with these!
(Vintage toys and bottle brush trees are two of my favorite things.)
I found them on Michelle's Etsy sight via her blog Vintage Junky.
How perfect would they be in a little boy's room.

Now what was I really looking for?......Oh yes blue velvet.

angel sing

I love these vintage angels from Etsy.

Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

hunting

I am on the hunt for some felt flower hair clips for the new store. I had seen some months ago (probably even blogged about them) but now I can't remember where. I did find these delightful goodies on my search. They are from green mountain wee woolies.

If anyone knows where my flower clips are will you please let me know?

I am in love with all of the goodies at fort and field. I found them via Caitlin at Caitlin Creer. What is it about vintage things that makes my heart beat a little faster?

I am in love with the vintage creations from tied up memories found via a room somewhere.

These little necklaces from little pink posies are the cutest things.  They make me wish I was 6 again.

I was searching on etsy for wood jewelry and stumbled on this fabulous shop called Retro Classy.  When is fathers day?  My husband would love these.  And I love the price $9 to $20.

Let it snow...

It has been snowing all day and all of my "little ones" are flying down the hill behind our house.  Sometimes I wish I had a real little one that could wear these adorable boots from wooly baby's etsy shop.  

spring

I am loving these flowers from Emerson Made.  Great for a wedding or a photo of 5 daughters....hmmm.  I love that they all go together but don't match.

I am not a headband girl but these are the prettiest ones I have ever seen.  There are lots of beautiful things in Bebecha's shop.
