ok, ok…

I never meant to be a bad blogger last week.

it’s the holidays, I tell ya. time goes faster than you ever want it to. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I’d have the holidays last all year if I could. but there is something magical that happens every year around November 30… time speeds up. seriously. on top of that, this is probably the busiest time of the year. Friday snuck by me so quickly, that I didn’t had the time to post!

a few things….

collection calendar: there is only one calendar left in my shop. I haven’t decided if I’m going to post any more, so if you were looking to purchase one, this is the only one left! if I do put any more up in the shop, it won’t be until after Christmas. thank you so much for your orders!! the collection calendar is sold out for now.

shop update: I finally had a chance to photograph some things over the weekend, and I’ll have them up in the shop tomorrow. this year, I’m offering gift tags and note cards that you will be able to print up yourself! after the order is placed from the shop, you’ll receive an email with the file attachment. feel free to print up as many as you like. I’ve got 5 different styles of gift tags and two note cards.

custom orders: if you are waiting for a custom order from me, I apologize again for the wait. as I mentioned before, the holidays are the busiest time of year for all of us. all custom orders will be completed by December 19. and if you’ve emailed me with a request for a custom design, I apologize but I am not taking any more orders until after the beginning of the new year.

whew… sorry for the lengthly wordy post. just some stuff I had to mention. happy monday!

flickr favorites :: dwellings

what is it that makes a house a home? is it the big, plush couch plopped right in the middle of the floor or the sweet smell of sugar cookies baking in the oven? or maybe it’s that porch that has seen many sunsets and late nights of laughter. it’s family. it’s comfort. it’s where you make memories and feel the most at… well, the most at home. today’s flickr favorites are all about dwellings.

lovely feathers

I love these feather ornaments by Roost. I were to be decorating a tree this year, I’d gladly fill it up with these lovelies.
by the way, there’s a big reason why I’m not decorating a tree this year…. more on that later.

flickr favorites :: magic

there are so many pictures that move me. and there are so many pictures that I love. these photos however, I’ve seen in my dreams. I’ll briefly tell you about the time that I didn’t favorite one of these photos when I first saw it, and then I beat myself up for months trying to find it again. I think about these photos often and cycle through my flickr favorites to find them and gaze upon them for inspiration. it’s these photos that exude magical qualities that I simply can’t explain. maybe you’ll see it too. and yes, there are many more. but this was all the magic overload I could handle for one day.
