Another Etsy find...Where We Live is a super-lovely print by Amy Blackwell, an amazing illustrator and self-proclaimed doodler. LOVE. Be sure to check out her website for more loveliness.
I've been working on some 4th of July hats and dresses...there's something about this holiday that screams SUNDRESS! When I was little, my mom and I would tie-dye a smocked sundress to commemorate the 4th...so these are my new versions of 4th of July dresses...
Check out my Etsy shop - I'm offering FREE shipping on all 4th of July dresses and hats!
I used to drive my mom insane when I'd say "I think I'm going to wear my shirt tucked-out." (Mind you, this was in middle school when I was very concerned with matching my socks and earrings along with thoroughly blow-drying my hair and curling it...I know, it was a looooong time ago.) Well, this is a belt buckle that warrants a "tucked-in" shirt, right mom?? Love it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who commented here for a chance to win a La Manitadress, hat or barrettes/barrette case. We've been in the middle of an in-town move and reading everyone's comments has been the perfect diversion! Your blog recommendations were amazing and I'm so glad to have found soooooo many new bloggers! Yay! In the upcoming weeks I'll be adding more dresses, hats and barrettes/cases to my Etsy shop...so be sure to drop by!
So here's the scoop...I asked my husband to randomly pick three days and times times during my giveaway (between 5/27 and 5/31). So here are the winners (I'll contact each of you right after I post this):
Barrettes/case:
Hi there I think I would like to enter for the barrettes. My lovely girl is a bit big for the other beautiful things but she still loves to put things in her hair. Some new blogs, well there is minehttp://nolifewithoutwife.blogspot.com/

Hat:
Love all of the items! But we can never find a hat big enough for my almost 2 year old that has ties on it. So we would pick the hat!
Camilla Engman is one of my favorite artists and her collaboration - Studio Violet - with fellow Swedish artist Elisabeth Denker is AMAZING. Love their porcelain plates...and this poster...I got it back in December for Sylvie's room. LOVE.
I made this dress for Chris' little cousin Elke...her grandparents placed my first custom-order (woohoo!). I'm going to start playing around with embroidery on the dresses...I think I like where this is going.
This is a work in progress...I have a few other designs, which I'll post soon. (Yes, I know "La Manita" looks like "Ed Manita" - remember, this is a work in progress). Thanks, Ed.
I'm so glad you found me! This blog highlights findings from my blog-reading adventures and chronicles my own creative pursuits. I love book + poster design, quilts, fabric, cool handwriting, stationery + invites...oh, gosh...the list could go on. Basically, I'm incredibly inspired by the creativity of artists, designers, craftsters and doodlers.
