Thursday's Treasure

Awwww.  Look at baby Lyla, all snuggled up in her organic cotton snuggle set.  Big, big thanks to her mommy Mari and photographer Aubrey Stopa for sharing the photos.

There's something about a big baby yawn that is so so sweet.  She looks like a darling little bundle, that's for sure :)

Hip hip hooray for super customers who send photos. These even came the same day the item arrived- talk about a special treat!

Here is baby Stella contemplating her new toy bucket...

~*~

... and here she is kicking back and enjoying herself!

~*~

She even had an opportunity to check out the ornament made for her from her late grandmother's nightgown. That was short lived when she tried to taste it. Better hang that one high on the tree for a couple of years :)

I can't thank you enough, Dana, for sharing these photos. Your daughter is precious, and you ROCK!!

Thursday's Treasure

The hunt began several weeks ago for the perfect hanging location for the new sosorosey goodies. My pink tinsel tree is hiding in a mass of boxes, and nothing else has *done it* for me. When this branch popped out at me today at Michael's, a little glow appeared around it, and I heard a strange humming in the background "aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh". OK, that's a bit dramatic, but I have very high hopes for this glittery twig!

Fabulous Friday

No, no, no- I didn't find this at a thrift store. I WISH!

~*~

I snapped this beauty up at my favorite "real" shop, thanks to a Christmas gift certificate from my mom and dad.

A 1905 ceiling tin is the backdrop for these so, so shabby dreamy aqua hooks. Whatever else I do or do not do this weekend, this baby will be hung; I can't wait to see it on the wall in my sunroom! AND, won't it be the perfect place to hang patchwork stars for photos? Or vintage aprons?

Squeeeeeeaaaaal!

Bundle of Joy

You know you want to say it. Go ahead! Awwwwwww.

This little peanut is all cozied up in one of my newborn wombEEs; check out his little raised eyebrow and accompanying wrinkles! Many thanks to the talented and generous Carleen of Charm Me Photography for sharing this photo with me!

Oh Baby!

Introducing the upcycled snuggle nest™!!

I've had this baby under wraps (pun intended, hehe) for quite awhile, and thanks to Nicole at Nicole Everson Photography I have finally gotten to see it in action.

~*~

I worked up the idea and design for this photography prop on my own, and I'd love to see it take the newborn photo world by storm! It is super soft, sturdy, and versatile; it stretches to fit larger babies, and *scrunches* for the smaller peanuts. It can be used inside out for a different look, and the ends can easily be smoothed in for a more rounded look.

I have a stash of fabric ready to crochet- beautiful greens, and pinks, and blues, and neutrals... This made to order item will be available in my shop soon ($75)! In the meantime, if you are a photographer looking to be one of the first to own one of these one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly props, contact me here, and I'll be happy to help you be on the cutting edge of baby photo fashion!
