German Glass glitter eggs

Using this:

I made these eggs with German Glass Glitter:

I am all about Spring. And Easter { + Easter candy}. I have 2 more colors to do for the eggs. I bought the German Glass Glitter on etsy. I heart etsy.

Here is the sneak preview of Avery's valentines gift. Avery loves cookies; she even knows to watch them bake with the oven light on. Since we've been home alot due to weather and colds we've seen more than our share of cookies lately. I decided to buy her some felt food cookies for her kitchen instead. I came across this set on etsy from Posie and Me. It's so stinkin cute in real life! I know she is going to love to roll out these fun cookies!

On a funny note, The Lettered Cottage, a house blog I follow just had a tutorial on creating a dining room table vintage style. She even created "worm holes" in her table top. She could have saved herself some time and borrowed Avery for a meal or two. We have several "holes" in our table top from her fork. Here is the post (and it is a beautiful table).

Etsy Solutions

I just love Etsy! I find the best products on there and I never have to leave my home! These are my favorite name tags for Avery's cups & personal items that we send to Malvern. We've only had one casualty so far. We usually clean her dishes in a soapy hot water soak in the sink but we have run them through the diswasher before and the labels are still good as new. You can find them at Cherry Hill Designs.


My next greatest and latest Etsy find are crotched coasters. Avery just loves to throw our ceramic coasters on the hard floors so these cute apples are a great solution! You can find all of Monika's pretty coasters at: Monika Designs.

Woman overboard

These are some random thoughts. I really just need to make a list of all my new posts and photoshots because I really am backlogged. These past two weeks we've been busy getting ready for the first day at Malvern School. Bags packed, bangs trimmed, items labeled . . . This pic is one of my new favorite items - a splat mat from an etsy seller - Chalky Doodles. I just love it. At the end of the day it wipes clean or you can shake it outside. I've even seen the Libman mop man mopping it down (before he mopped himself to the center of the room).


Avery's new favorite toy is the Little People House. I took a chance and bought it since she likes manipulatives so much and turns out she LOVES it! I am going to buy stock in little people. It's a great new playskill for her! The other day I found "the mom" hanging out on the balcony rail. I feel my life is like that sometimes & lately with starting back to work, running a household, taking care of a toddler. Even the ultra-organized persona in me is starting to get overwhelmed. No, the mom did not jump and it's nice to know that Avery "gets me." The good thing is, fall = change and good things are happening for us all the time.

HeidiStitch on Etsy

If you haven't already noticed, Avery is sportin some pretty cute hats! They are made compliments of the very talented Heidi at HeidiStitch. You can view and bookmark her site @ HeidiStitch on Etsy. We also have a very cool pair of seersucker clam diggers that I am hoping to get a picture of this weekend. Stop on over and visit her shop and feel free to convo her as well!

Thanks again Heidi xoxo
