Beautiful Treasury!

Etsy has this fun feature, where etsyans can pick their 12 favorites or come up with 12 different items that kind of match a theme. And someone pick it to make it on the front page. I think I made the front page 5 times since I started selling on Etsy. I made it in many people's treasury, and sometimes I catch it on time and take a picture...

Here is one of them.  I love the theme!

 

CrAzy Weekend!!

This weekend was fun!! Doc and I got to hang out with great friends yesterday, and eat good food!

Anyway, we have been going to BabiesRus, and target to start our registry, and we were overwhelmed by the amount of stuff!! I know having a baby is a big adjustment, but going to these stores make it seem even more overwhelming. So, Doc and I have been trying to not only save money, but like many other people we have been trying to use the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Many people have been giving us clothes, and baby items. We went to France with 2 pieces of luggage, and came back with 5 overstuffed suitcases! My sister saved all her best clothes, and she had them labeled, washed, and all sorted out for me! Amazing!

And yesterday...Dan and April decided to see what was in their attic and found a crib, and a pack and play! I am so excited, as now I can remove these items from our registry.

Another exciting news, is that I submitted some jewelry to WholeFoods! Katie, a friend of ours, has been connecting with the Whole Body Team Leader, and connected me. So, this morning I dropped of few necklaces, earrings and a ring...and they will be reviewed at their headquarters!! We will see what happens!!! 

A beautiful time in France!

Here are few pictures of our trip to France where we spent Christmas and a good part of the month of january. We were able to spend quality time with my family, and enjoy our last vacation as "Just the two of us"! We had a great time, and came back to SNOWY Cleveland refreshed and rested! Here is to Life!

Bazaar Bizare show!

Doc and I were in France for a month after a CrAZyy month of december! I think I had 3 shows, an open house, and Doc performed at 4 or 5 different events! 

Here are few shots of my table for the Bazaar bizarre show. The whole concept was "old world" and vintage, which totally worked out, as I used many items from I borrowed from great  friends!! Also, I was featured on a blog because of the look of my table! Cool beans!

Finally!

Here are some new pieces. Since being back from France it has been hard to get my mojo back, and make some new pieces. But it is back! Here are some new wearables for you!

Turning 30!

Wow, I just turned 30!! on thanksgiving day! I have to say that I feel really blessed and happy. It is kind of a bitter sweet feeling, as the years are flying by ( I sound kind of like my mother, well except she would say "les années passent a une allure..."), but now I can testify they really do!!

As I look back at these past few years, many things that I "secretly" wrote on my journal came to realization. One of the biggest thing is being in a strong, meaningful, and wonderful relationship after almost 7 years of marriage, and we are expecting our first child! Pretty crazy! 

Doc, my husband turned 32 the day after my 30th, and it was awesome to reflect together on the past years together.
