Pretty Print & Paper

I took an inspiration break and shot some things in my current vintage Print & Paper collection. Above and below are several Rune Naito vintage items I adore. 

I love anything with doll/toy photography. I would say they are my most treasured finds.

And the last thing I shot is this Pose Doll Case box. 

I found it recently for $0.25 in a thrift store. It was exciting enough to find this box and label, but inside is a perfect, unused doll case - ready to assemble.

I will share more soon!

*Note, I am uploading this via my phone... so I am crossing my fingers it worked! xo

All the Moms

This Mother's Day I'm sharing some photos of all the beautiful Mothers that make me 'Me'. 

Above is my Great Grandmother Georgianna.
Below is my Grandmother Eunice.

This is Eunice and Henry (my Grandfather).




This is Suzanne ("Suzy") my Mom.


Below is my Mom holding baby me and my sister, Katie.




My Mom had four children, Scott, Katie, Jenny and me.
(That's little me wearing fancy patterned pants.)




And then I became a Mom to my daughter, Samantha, in 1986.




And now she is all grown up!!






Well sort of.





She has cared for all sorts of babies!!!






But very soon...

this will change!



Because my girl is having a baby GIRL in late July!

(See!)


Happy Mother's Day to all the precious Moms!!

I Love Wood Toys

I love wood toys. And since I'm in the middle of a few projects I'm going to just give you a little show and tell of the marvelous things I have in my present collection. 

Above is my prize toy - a Soviet era wood stacking bunny.

Below are my newest additions. The chicken paddle board was $0.50 (one hen is missing her head). The Dutch puzzle was only $2.00!

And I added this cute pair of giraffes below because I was so happy to visit the the new baby giraffe, Sophie, at the Los Angeles Zoo on Tuesday (see my Instagram photo!). Read more about her here.







Finally, what's the deal with the grand opening of my friend's shop? Well I'm happy to say we will launch this weekend. I'm working right now on the final edits/details, photos and additions.

Hooray!
