2 years + collection calendar

well hello friends!! I’ve missed you this week. there has been so much I’ve wanted to share.

I’ve got some exciting news to share with you today. today marks my two year blogiversary with Unruly Things. two years ago today, I began this little blog - not knowing fully what I wanted it to be or where I expected it to go, but with an idea for sharing my thoughts, I was ready. I have come such a long day since then. especially if you count my cross country move last summer! but I’m so happy, so so SO happy to be blogging and to have you as my readers. I enjoy popping on everyday to share my recent finds, love for photography, and thoughts. I blog because I like it but mostly, I blog because I love sharing my world with you. it’s a funny thing, the internet, and it amazes me everyday that I’ve met so many wonderful and kind people through this little blog of mine. so many of you can relate, blogging is like my second home. each of you have inspired me so much, and I thank you for continuing to read.
so I thought I’d share this memorable moment with an exciting update! my calendar, which I’ve been working on for a weeks now, is finally up in my shop! for those of you who follow my flickr, you may remember my series of collection walks. during these walks around the neighborhood or along the beach I’d pick up things as I went along. then I’d organize each collection on the path in a prominent space, and leave them for others to see their beauty. this inspired me so much, that I decided to translate each of my collections into my 2009 calendar.
and what’s a celebration without a little gift!?
for the first 5 calendars purchased, I’ll include a special little something extra just for you.

thank you for your orders so far!

a big thank you to you, readers!!! here’s to 2 years of blogging. and to many more.

  1. Congratulations on 2 years of blogging! I’m so happy that I snagged one of these beautiful calendars… it is going to make the best holiday gift for someone special on my list!

  27. what a magnificent idea for a calendar! I wish you GRAND success with it in your shop. I’ve been away from reading blogs most of the summer … I will make an attempt to visit some of my old faves (such as yours) as winter grows.
