The Story Of Us

The air is cool, the sky is gray and the rain is falling.. I have spotted a few yellow leaves. It's here, fall is almost here, I can smell it in the air and I can not contain my excitement! I love the colors and the breeze, I love the layers and sweaters. I will miss my flip flops but I am ready to bring out my boots. Here's a few autumn themed photographs to kick off my favorite season. Orange Leaf   Shroom Climbing Delicately Dry Fall Themed Coasters Another Day Another Time Flora Droplets And they all fall down Colors Filtered Growth The cool weather makes me want to bake, I'm starting out with some warm banana chocolate chip bread.. but instead of a bread pan I'm thinking of using a muffin pan instead and make some delish muffins. The house will smell delectable. We are also celebrating D turning 2 months today.. wow.. how time flies. He now socially smiles, follows movement with his eyes and makes these adorable little noises. He lov...

Days and nights have become a blur and 7 weeks have gone by since D came into our life. He coos and makes eye contact with us.. feigns interest when I jabber on and on about nothing in particular. This post could do go on and on about all the wonders of D so I'll stop now.. yes, I have become one of those mom's who find their babies to be the most interesting subject matter. But motherhood hasn't stopped me from keeping my shop updated and though my promotional and marketing skills may have become a bit lacking I *Thank God* have still managed to make a few sales. Red Print  and The Inner Core And with the heat beating down on us.. summer is definitely here to stay so a few more flower infused art prints never hurt anyone.. right? So here is Live. Grow. Bloom.                                   ...

Tis the season to be jolly fala lalala... well we're still a good 6 months away but who can stop us from getting into the Holiday spirit a little early. Surely no one at Etsy with it's yearly Christmas In July sale in full swing. With me being a fresh newbie last year I didn't do much to participate and being a fresh new mommy this year it is becoming hard to find the time to promote my years sale. But I just took a refreshing shower and D just had his bath and he has decided to just lay there all happy and swaddled, looking around and making sweet little noises so I took this opportunity fill you all in on my sale and take time between every few words to stare at my boy.. Okay.. that just turned into a very very long sentence.. Getting to the Sale.. I have one word for you BOGO! Yes you read right.. Buy one print or photograph and get the second FREE! And to properly get into the Christmas spirit I added some great Christmas prints to the..  Shop ...

The days are passing by, I can no longer differentiate between weekday and weekend.. night and day no longer make a difference, for I am a new mother. I gave birth June 23rd to a gorgeous little baby boy and ever since I have been swept up in a whirlwind of diapers, breast feeding and crying. The computer has lost its importance.. so you may not see for a while.. I miss my connection with the outside world.. but I am busy making and strengthening this even more important connection with my baby. So I suppose I will see you when I see you.. till then take care. p.s the shop is still open.. so keep on buying.. :) I am also having a BOGO Christmas in July sale so stop by and take a look. Enjoy!

Oh what a crazy past few days.. weeks I've been having. The days are flying by.. yes sometimes they seem to stand still.. I've got just about 2 more weeks to go till the baby comes.. but then again it could come today too.. all the unpredictability.. all the uncertainity really isn't my cup of tea. I am a planner. I make lists. And this is just the beginning of plans never going the way you expect ever again! Ahhh! The bright light in all this is the nursery is almost complete.. I finished fabric stamping the curtains and I finished making the mobile. (Pictures to come soon.) We have yet to accessorise with cute toys and stuffed animals etc.. but I don't want to go on a crazy shopping spree just yet. I think I'd like to meet the baby first and there are presents to come.. so I will hold off on that for now. Though it is so hard.. and everything baby is just so cute! Another yay! is that my little brother is flying in tomorrow.. I haven't seen him in 2 1/2 yea...

I had already hinted at some relazing weekend plans in my last post.. well here's what we did. We drove to upstate New York in the Finger Lakes area just outside of Rochester to a spa and resort. It was a weekend of lounging by and in the pool, getting a fantastic couples massage, sleeping in late and napping on whim and the great food. An especially elaborate Sunday brunch.. and just enjoying the great weather and sun. I'm hoping all of you also had a great weekend.. and as if the weekend wasn't perfect already I also celebrated my one year Etsyversary ending the year with 15 sales. To me, that in no way is a bad number... I have managed to cover my start up costs and have started to make a profit. During this year I have sold images small, big and very big. I have had custom orders and have learned quite a lot during this year. So a big thanks to all of you out there who have visited my shop, who have liked my work and left kind comments, those who have bought my wo...

I know! I know! It's not the weekend yet but it's just a day away.. and Friday is a half day anyway.. and I intend on enjoying this weekend the second it starts. Which hopefully be this time tomorrow. Why so much enthusiasm for this particular long weekend.. well this is officially our last long weekend before baby arrives.. we could get the 4th of July weekend.. but that will be just too late and I think relaxing will be the last thing on my mind then and will be thinking more along the lines of how do I get this baby out! Our plans for this weekend.. well lets just say its all about relaxing. I'll give you the deets in next weeks post. And to all of you out there lucky enough to get a long weekend, enjoy! Get out and bar.b.que, take in the sun and let everything else just melt away. In the last week I have been lucky enough to be in three wonderful treasuries all deserving of your clicks: Secret Garden Meet Me There and  I am the Light of the World I have ...
