Away for a week · May 13


If you’ve visited my shop page, you’ll see that I have a notice up stating the shop is closed from 5/12 to 5/22. I’ll be boarding a plane this afternoon for a late Mother’s Day visit to my mom, who happens to be getting a visit from my grandmother and uncle for a total of three weeks.

I’m awfully excited to see them, but sad to leave J behind working and the pups alone in the house. I hope I’ve set them up well enough for the week without me!

90 Days: Creative Sundries Side-by-Side · May 2


Creative
Sundries
on Etsy

For me, I would find nothing better than to be able to work aside my mom (except that I have surprisingly little patience for certain things and mom has a way of hitting the right hot buttons.) However, for Carol and Sarah, the mother-daughter/friend-friend team behind the CreativeSundries shop at Etsy, this is clearly not the case.

With items ranging from vintage treasures to handmade goods, their shop is the definition of indie and out of the ordinary. Check out the unique pendants, tiny needlefelted purses or the collage assemblage ACEOs currently in their shop.

My favorites? The bubble pendants, hands down:

Iron Man Delivers! · May 1


We were invited to preview Iron Man tonight before it official releases tomorrow. It’s late, so I’m not going to get into it, but suffice to say that the Iron Man movie rocked! Robert Downey, Jr. was spot on with the Tony Stark character. If you are a comic book fan, this is definitely a must.

If you’re not? This is still a great blockbuster movie with which to open up the summer season. Definitely go see it!
