Stolen...

Look at this!!! One of the photos we took for Xenotees was (unknowingly) snatched off her website and used as the stock photo for picture frames! A friend of mine sent me the image and asked why my boys were in her brand new frame (from a well-known nation-wide bookstore chain). We couldn't believe it!!! Isn't that bizarre? So we went to the store and bought a frame of our very own to put up in the house. Kind of ridiculous that we paid for something that was ours to begin with, but it was too good of a story to pass up.
And to the sneaks who stole our photo: Well, I would like some of those royalties, but I can't blame you for the theft. Look at those handsome guys, I'd steal their picture too if they weren't already mine to look at everyday. :)











This was the original image.

It's (Almost) Goodbye!

What better time to turn over a new leaf than the first official day of Fall? Too bad our forecast says it'll be a searing 94˚ today!!! Boo. Can't the weather hop on board for my plans?

Anyhow, after a wonderful, fun, busy almost two year stint on Etsy, I will be closing The Shop at the end of the day today. I've had such a great time with it all, but I am so looking forward to this next phase!
❤ Countdown for Little Miss Ruthie: 14ish days ❤

Sleeping Baby, Sleeping Shop...

I painted this sign the other day for the front of our house. It's not the doorbell I'm worried about so much as the crazy barking dog that can't help himself every time he hears that "ding dong!"
*recognize those strawberries?
This is also one of the last reminders to the blogging world that The Shop is closing at the end of the day Wednesday, September 22nd. After that, all those little gems will be mine! (I've already removed a few favorites and shifted them over to my own personal collection). :)

And the Little Miss Ruthie Countdown continues...(16ish days to go!)

It's almost time!

Hi friends!
Just a reminder that there is only TWO WEEKS left to help me clear out The Shop before I say goodbye to Etsy for an unknown amount time... lovey, sickeningly sweet, mommy-and-me, maternity leave time. Gosh, I can't wait.


(Some new friends waiting to meet Ruthie's acquaintance.) Judah picked out the one-eyed monster just for her. :)
