a little more around the store...

Always getting new things and rearranging what we have, so we can't help but keep sharing...

Is it just me or does it seem like there are a ton of babies being born during this time of year? It seems like all our friends have been having babies left and right......as a matter a fact our good friends Patrick and Anita just had a new baby today.......baby Lucy!As I've mentioned before, I've been busy getting my inventory ready for a show next week, but I have managed to find some time to whip up a few baby gifts here and there (and I have a couple more to do this weekend). My friend Shannon just had her second baby boy so I thought...

Buying a new car made me realized one thing...our booster seats need serious TLC!I know sometimes my boys will step on the booster seat (of course with their shoes on!!) to climb over to the back seat or to the trunk area to get something they dropped. I never really paid attention how dirty the booster seat covers were until I was trying to transfer everything from our old minivan to the new one. There were unidentifyable stains everywhere and it was just very nasty looking. Especially in the new car, those car seats looked so out of place.I...

He's decided to stick with forty for another year...or so, and I couldn't help but oblige him.Here's the Birthday Boy. I made him a Pumpkin Spice birthday cake using pumpkins from the garden.It was really delicious...moist and rich. This is the recipe I used. Happy Birthday Sweetie!...

Oh, those gorgeous bin pulls. I just love 'em. They are generally so expensive, but I lucked out when I found these at Cripe Distributing: 25 oil-rubbed-bronze bin pulls for $14. I ordered them before I even knew what I wanted to do with them...but then I saw this desk at The Frosted Gardner:Isn't it pretty? And wouldn't you know it, I just happened to have a similar desk just waiting for me to do something with it in the garage.Alas, I didn't remember to take a "before" picture...yet again. It was a run-of-the-mill brown desk.But now...I...
