Inspiration - Shag!





Allow me to introduce to you Shag, if you don't know him already. His work is pretty ridiculous and amazing, if you ask me. I also heard that Target models a lot of their stuff after his artwork?...which I can definitely see, & is pretty cool, eh? Must be, because I LOVE Target!

I think it's time for bed, my eyelids are sticking to my eyeballs. ha! g'night!

bright, sunshiny day.

Here are a few detail shots from yesterdays session with Aubrey! Shooting Aubrey was a first for me in the baby department. It was great though, and she was a doll! Thanks Jill!




Jake, Seth and I went to the flea market today, looking for a few specific things, vintage letters and old STURDY wooden crates (not the flimsy produce package crates) But we had no such luck with those. I take that back, there was one man as we were exiting that had 2, 1 in particular that I was interested in, but apparently it wasn't for sale. I was bummed. BUT I did get 2 pretty nifty necklaces and a vintage frame that I could surely do something with :)




(Avon, stitched locket, 1974)

Can't forget! I also made a coupon book (idea via Paper Source) since I've recently started clippin! This was a test run...since it was my first, I just used what I had around the house, normal white envelopes and the labels are just index cards...so pardon the lack of creativity on this round. It was super simple. I'll be making some more and selling them on our [recent]Etsy so keep an eye out for new updates to the shop!






Thanks for reading,
Jenn!

killing time & mustaches.

Just a few pictures from this weekend, I hope everyone had a great resurrection day. We did!

My sweet husband. He is my oasis.
I got a new dress for easter and it was a total steal. It feels retro to me, and I love it so.

We snapped a fast family picture in the car, and I dig how it turned out. Perfect timing! (our dog, cody, has ADD)



And I finally finished and framed my mustaches and I LOVE them I hung them in our bedroom!


just a little note, I've grown to HATE the paint color in our room. It was supposed to be "cafe latte" which sounds like (& appeared to be)a subtle brownish color for the most part, right? but no, it turned out to be an awful purple-ish pinkish brown (as you can see) but we were just too lazy to paint over it. but now that we've done some serious spring cleaning around our house, we've decided that Cafe latte's time has come to an end. I want something soothing, yet cheery. Maybe yellow? i don't knoww.







EDIT: class was canceled today due to some plumbing problems in the building....sweet! AND AND AND I got a new nail polish, pop apricot by Rimmel. So springy and sweet, I adore it. Could this day get any better? WHY YES, I also found a slew of coupons for this week, and free food because it's tax day! wooo! Ahhhh

The rest of my beautiful day consists of:

coupon clipping/printing and decorating my envelope coupon book that I made this weekend.
Working on wedding contract & logos
painting the rest of my nails :)
updating and cleaning up my itunes
and maybe some slight cleaning and organizing around the house...who knows!
Oh! and drawing up the pattern for my newest embroidery project
Pictures to come!


pees owt,
jenn!
