We left without saying "goodbye".

We were so super excited about our vacation that we left without saying "goodbye"!

We went to Paris...

We ate, we saw, we conquered.
We truly had a wonderful, romantic, inspiring, relaxing vacation.
I'm a pretty lucky lady.

Travel tip...
Before the trip, I purchased a thin moleskin that I could stash in my purse.
After every couple of days we would go through and journal our trip.
In the back I had a section for restaurants we loved, hotels we stayed at and new recipes I wanted to try to duplicate.
Left the middle empty so we can fill in with photos.
I know journals for vacation are not a novel idea, but, I hate having mis-matched photo albums.
This way, as time goes by, we'll have stacks of black moleskin journal filled with our little adventures.

I have a post coming up that's dedicated to how the French do flower shops.
They were awesome, so get ready!

Home Ownership...

I really love our home and couldn't imagine living anywhere else, but sometimes 90+ year structures let you down.

We have to get a new one of these...

...as well as some gas lines replaced and floor and possible foundation repair due to the slow leak from our water heater from 1984.

So, I'm in need of a small home decor/renovation dream session.

What I wish we were spending our money on instead:

Dreamy claw foot tubs bathed in sunshine...

White subway tile, wide plank wood floors and an island...

Sliding barn doors to keep Toby and Oliver out of my office...

And now I will stop compaining and be thankful that we will have hot water and a non exploding house.

It's been a while...

Hello!

So, I've been neglecting the old bloggy blog.

We've been bustling around all over Oklahoma with weddings, weddings and more weddings!

While that's been going on, the store's been receiving a TON of cool stuff and I think it's about time I share some of it with you fine folks!

Pantone mugs for all you artists, graphic designers and fans of COLOR!

Vintage plates get new leases on life from Minnesota designer, Unique Art Pendants.

Rachel Pally's new collaboration with real life BF Kevin Circosta.

Boyfriend + Girlfriend features wear-everyday tees and button ups in flannel and cotton.

All made in California.

Also, new comfy organic cotton from Stewart+Brown and screen prints from Bombs Away.

Susy Jack stationery and notepads.

All lovely and bright and 100% recycled and veggie ink!

In addition to Susy Jack, we have new cards from Smock Letterpress, Pinkerton and Amy Smyth.

More to post soon!
