umbrella society

I wouldn't mind rain so much if I had one of these cute umbrellas from the Umbrella Society ...

 
The one in the upper right is super cute ... called Bicycle Ballet.

craft fair goodness

Here are a few of my favorite things I scored at this year's Crafty Bastard's show ...

Stamps from The Small Object, cards from Something's Hiding in Here + shirts from here [she has loads of other cute stuff too] + here.  I got both of those in size 3T assuming he could wear next spring.  I'm hoping its just his post-dinner belly that's making them fit just right. 

I think its going to be one of my 2009 goals to participate in this fair.  We'll see!

More little kid clothing love....how cute are these little dresses [and the wellies too]?

Our finances would definitely be in big trouble if we had a little girl.  There is just too much cuteness out there for girls.

charlie and sarah

The craft fair this past weekend was great.  I scored a bunch of goodies [more on that later] + also discovered lots of new to me artists.  Including Charlie and Sarah ...

Their designs - old English meets American prep style - are super cute.  Especially their kid's T's.  And use American Apparel t-shirts, making them extra soft.

wire basket source

Since I get a number of emails about where I get my wire baskets, I thought I'd post this find I saw in the most recent issue of Domino ...

This is the first place I've found online that sells vintage-inspired wire baskets.  Love these.  Especially the metal tag you can label with chalk or paint. 

[And by the way, most of mine I've found in antique shops + Etsy:].

packaging

I put together some cotton muslin bags that I'll be using to package certain goodies from my little shop ...

Including small sets [sets of 15] of blind impressed custom cards.  I was making some for myself + as gifts.  And I figured I'd add some to my shop. 

And lovely Jane gave me the fab idea of doing a "Treat" version of the cotton bag ... which I will be doing very soon!  Thanks, Jane!

craft show + the small object

We'll be checking out the Crafty Bastards show [great name, right?] - DC's version of Renegade on Sunday.  I'm most looking forward to meeting lovely Sarah of The Small Object  + seeing her goods in person...

I love her work.

I ordered one of these today + I'm so looking forward to receiving ...

Its by Traci of bliss who just opened an Etsy shop ... I love her photography.  I know just the place for this in our home. 

2 next week

Little one will be 2 next week.  He had a small joint party with his good friend who is two weeks older than him.  It was a good day ...

At this age, all you need is a few cupcakes + boom-booms [balloons] + life is really, really good.  I still can't believe he's almost 2.  Makes me sad!  Where does the time go!?

urban outfitters vintage

Urban Outfitters sure does have a lot of cute, vintage-inspired things ...

Love all these things!
