Repositionable ABC decals

March 1, 2013 posted by
I have a confession… our boys have been playing with these letter decals for a long time now. I made them a few months ago and am just now sharing them with you… not because I don’t love you but because I never got around to listing them.
Sorry. Really. I am. We’re still friends right?
We do lots of fun things with these letters. We label lunch boxes and doors. We put our names on just about everything. We play our own version of scrabble (there aren’t any rules).
We write notes to the house sitter like “Curingas Rule” and when we get home her last name is in place of ours… fun things like that.
Since they are made with our new fabric material, they won’t tear, they will stick to just about any flat surface and you can move them over and over again. Just keep the sheet they come on to store them when you aren’t using them. Or do what we do and leave them on the hallway wall to encourage young spellers.
removable letter decals
We‘re offering these amazing letter decals in two color choices, watercolor (best when used on medium to dark colored walls)
watercolor abc decals
aqua and yellow abc decals
this one matches our Owl Brother Decals :)
Both sets include lots of duplicate letters and symbols. Plenty to keep your little one busy for hours!

Kitchen Shelving

March 1, 2013 posted by
If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you got a sneak peek at one of the projects we were working on last weekend…our kitchen shelves.
Since we installed the new french doors in the dining area, the space between them and the kitchen cabinets looked so bare and empty. It took some convincing but I finally talked James into placing open shelves in that space for our dishes and platters that are too pretty to be stashed in a cupboard.
030 copy
In the foreground you can see our new hanging light over the island. We picked it up at Home Depot pretty inexpensive and spray painted it to match well…everything in our house (and my shoes, and my toothbrush, and my sunglasses…what I can say I love that color!)
There’s still so much to do in our tiny kitchen but these little inexpensive touches go a long way to helping me live with it until we can get to the big $$$ items like new flooring, cabinets and countertops.
Be sure to check back this afternoon. I will be posting our March “What’s the Deal-eo” and What’s the Giveaway“!

Burlap Stockings…Bless their heart!

December 6, 2012 posted by
Reading Karianne’s post this morning reminded me of something I wanted to share with you.

You see, I have been admiring, pinning, and generally loving up on burlap Christmas stockings for the last couple of years. How could I possibly resist? They are a bit natural, a bit bling, a bit classic, a bit gorgeous…ok awholelotta gorgeous!

Like these that Cindy at Cottage Instincts made.
(one look at the header on her blog and I know we are destined to be friends forever! Any friend of aqua and red is a friend of mine!)
Or these beauties from Bella Inspirations
Burlap and starfish? yes please!
And look at the details of the cutie pies from Make it and Love it!
About a month ago, I decided it was time to stop admiring from a distance and actually make a few (six regular size and one small one for Boomer) burlap stockings of my own.
After a brief discussion with the nice lady working in the fabric section of Hobby Lobby about when they would get more non-ugly non-orangeish burlap in, a sweet older woman shopping for felt asked me what on earth I was going to do with burlap. I proceeded to gush about the beautiful burlap stockings that I’ve been dreaming about. After a moment of quiet, she said “honey, you know burlap stinks, right?“
I told her that I don’t mind at all! The memorizing loveliness of these stockings would overpower any scent given off by the fabric. She just nodded and pressed on with her day.
A half an hour later, over on the other side of the store (I needed cute wooden letters for my stockings) from behind me I heard, in that stage whisper that old ladies do,
“that young woman over there is going to make stockings out of burlap! Bless her heart!“
Oh well, at least she called me a young woman!
