My Little Lovies

I spent some time with the camera in front of my face on Mother’s Day, which felt a little weird, it’s been so long. But if anything can inspire some photo-taking from me these days, it’s these...

Great Strides 2013

Woop! Aaaaaand just like that, it’s like, Mid-May. Almost. How ARE you guys? Where have you been, anyway? (Ha.) If you’re local and want to log in a couple of hours downtown next weekend, I’d love...

(No, This is Not a Mirage)

Hi everybody! Just popping in for a quick “Hello” from our back porch today. I know a lot of time has gone by.. But I wanted to say a big THANK YOU for your love & support this spring! Being sick...

I’m sure you are hoping to hear from Suzanne, but this is a guest post by Josh (Suzanne’s husband). It will have to do for now. I think she will be back on here soon, but it is hard to compose a...

Checking In!

It’s been so long since I’ve checked in here (sorry) that I: a) had to sign in, and b) entered the wrong password. Twice. Sooo.. Hi guys! Just thought I’d pop in for a quick hello, and let you know...

Oh Hi!

Hey! I have a blog? … What? … So I’m taking some oral & inhaled antibiotics for a month, in hopes of kicking a new bacteria in my lungs to the curb.. This time the meds hit my system pretty hard &...

Selected And Collected – 1 Year (Plus a Little)

At the beginning of December, our Etsy shop had its first anniversary. I was going to write a post about it back then, but the funny thing is, December’s actually a really busy month. Turns out...

Eye Love It!

In & out today, guys.. It’s moving day for Mark & Jess! YES. and YES. First though, Link Love Inspiration! source Have you ever googled “mimetic architecture“? Oh I remember you, Swatch of the...

In Which I Actually Bought a Book. And Then Another!

I am a lifelong library-er. I’ve owned a “book bag” for as long as I can remember, and I am one of those who is still mourning the passing of the “date due” stamp. I’ve never really been one for...

Eye Love It!

This week Mom & I made a triumphant return to the pool. It’s been a while. A long while, really. I mean, Mom was sick forevvver, I had an arthritis flare-up.. Then there were the holidays.. And.....

Mini Frames & Fist Pumps

This is one of the tiniest frames I’ve ever seen – lockets excluded, because I see a lot of lockets. One time we had one in the shop with a literal lock of hair in it. *gag* Who knows how old that...

Winter Whites

It hasn’t snowed much around here (yet) (???) .. But the winter whites are in full swing. Sometimes it feels downright snowy. And by “snowy” I guess I mean “polka-dotty”. Potato, potahto. It is...

Eye Love It!

So I downloaded a few viruses onto my computer this weekend. Dumb. And (since you’re right in assuming I wouldn’t do this on purpose) when I realized what was happening, I got a very, very sick...

Playtime with Jess & Jane

Wanna know what’s fun? Having a niece. It’s fun. Jess and Jane came over to hang out the other day and I took oh somewhere around 500 photos. (At least it felt like it) This chick is on the move,...

Instagram Catch-Up

I’ve had this post sitting in the drafts for a while now – just some Instagrams from November/December. If I can remember that far back, I’ll add captions. Ha. 1970′s Herman Miller red sectional...

Eye Love It!

At first glance, I thought that these garden rose blooms were somehow growing out of the begonia (below). I had a mini heart attack & resolved to instantly order one of these magical begonias from...

The Holly Jolly Days

Coming out of the holidays, I’m starting to realize that they were a little much for me this year. Holidays can overwhelm, people! This year Josh & I were super busy, and at work (jewelry store!)...

Year in Reeeeeeview

Hey guys, I’ve been working on doing a New Year’s photo card to send out & found myself surfing through some blog posts from 2012. I thought it might be fun to re-visit some of them today, since...

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I hope you’re out there enjoying time with family & friends – even if it’s via skype! It’s a very busy time of year with lots of things to do and places to be.. But today I’m most...

That Little Pink Christmas Tree I Forgot About..

So this is where we’re at. Until yesterday this is the only amount of “Christmas” in our house – which I’m not sure I’m comfortable with. Shouldn’t it be the Nativity, if anything? Not a fake.....

Eye Love It!

And just like that, a week goes by with nary a post on this little blog. It was one of those weeks where blogging just was not going to happen. And as much as I enjoy the blog, I’m not going to...

Eye Love It!

Did you know that bar carts are kind of like a thing right now? They’re one of those pieces in a room that can serve lots of different types of functions – from bar stuff to plant stuff to books...

Game On.

This has been quite the week, guys! I think half of my people were either at the dentist, doctor, or mechanic (yes, I am including our cars in this). The Christmas season has really picked up at...

Early November via Instagram

Even though it’s already a month ago (!!!), here are some instagrams from early November. A shop on the west side of town (happens to be right next to an insurance agency) shrub-spiration while...

Eye Love It!

Is it just me, or did the Christmas Season just descend on us this past week? Seems like it has hit full-force (as far as most stores go) but not ours, oohhhh noooo. We don’t even have our twinkle...

Lately

I haven’t used my camera a whole lot in the past few weeks (unless it’s for shooting photos of Etsy items) but here’s a little bit of what it’s looked like around here lately. Our street – the...

My Kind of Mall

So back when we were in Kansas City, we kept hearing about this antique mall that has the good stuff – not the antique-y antique stuff but the funky, one-of-a-kind, vintage kind of stuff. You know...

Eye Love It!

Happy Holiday Weekend! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. Ours was great, and will continue to be great while we pound away at our leftovers. And, thanks for the birthday love – here and...

31!

Hey guys, It’s my birthday! Today I am 31. And judging by how things have gone so far today, 31 is pretty exciting. I woke up to a giant coffee drink and blueberry muffin from the coffee shop...

This Was Kansas City

Driving around KC, I used our GPS as well as my phone for maps/navigation/suggestions/tips. Oh and I brought my laptop with my list of “things to do & places to see” just in case I ran out. It was...
