Shopping Trip

We recently took a weekend, couples only shopping trip.  I got some things the girls were very much in need of:)

Long sleeve shirts.  Boring but very much helps take the summer wardrobe to a winter wardrobe.

Leggings.  Same story.

Hanna!  One of my favorite brands.  It was so fun to go in an actual store instead of just browsing the catalog or online.  And since this was on the sale rack and my girls were sadly lacking in sweaters that were not too small for them it was only natural that I bought this:)

Sweaters from Target.  They look adorable in these.

Dresses from Carter's.  I love Carters brand.  My girls are getting too big for it way too fast but I found these.  Middle Sister can wear them and then they can be handed on to Little Sister.

'If they could just stay little till they outgrow their Carters...'

Sweater from Old Navy.  I forgot I got this one when I bought the 2 from Target.  Oh well, Little Sister can use two!!

Outfit from Target.  I absolutely adore the stuff Target carries for newborn through 5T.  And since I can still sometimes squeeze Little Sister in the 5T I still look at the stuff.  And this stuff came home to become her birthday present.  It might just be the last of her cute Target 5T clothes though:(

New 'cool jeans' for Travis.  The Teenager thinks he should always wear 'cool' jeans.  Now he has two pair that she considers 'cool'.

And the ties.  I love it when guys dress up:)  He wasn't overly impressed but he WILL wear them.

They really aren't as shiny as the picture shows but I couldn't seem to get a good shot.

Target has the cutest tinsel.  And mushroom ornaments.  In several colors.  And a lot of other neat stuff that I had to leave there.

Home Goods.  Couldn't resist the glittered birds.

Anthropologie.

I'm loving my new number stamps:)

It was a very fun shopping trip.  Can't wait for next years!

Images from the 'Creative File'

These images are all from here and there in cyberspace.  Added to my 'creative file'.  All of these look very fun to me to make.  But my creating will probably be limited in the next few weeks.  I sprained my ankle (for the 3rd time) and it's a bad one (this time)

So I'm babying it.  Using it when I need to but it doesn't take much till I'm feeling sick to my stomach and very worn out.  So.  Creating will have to be done from the couch.  And in my daydreams.

And the cleaning?  Not getting done any time soon:(

I want this for my Christmas dress!

I really like this.  It would be fun to use as the inspiration for a wedding dress.

Cute and so simple.  I think maybe this one was on the blog 'Made'.

I hope to do my own version of some kind of word sign someday.  I really like the ones they call 'subway signs'.

This one could be done from the couch dontcha think?!

I HAVE done a version of this before.  But not in linen.  This would be so easy and quick.

Darling for the little girls in my life!

Fun scarf:)

I really like this version of a pennant banner.  How SIMPLE!!!!

I need to find a large piece of leather and make me one of these.  I love the combination of leather and ruffles.

Another adorable option for the littles in my life:)

See how that bookshelf is made out of a book???  What a super cool idea!

This room was designed by Kara Pasley in her upstairs room.  She was, until recently, employed as a designer for Anthropologie!!  Now she and her husband are pursing other design stuff.

Check her out, it's truly inspiring!

GARAGE SALE!

We have over 50 people who brought stuff again this fall! Lots of great clothes, toys, books and baby stuff. We have a wonderful car seat/stroller combo that looks brand new. We are really hoping we sell it. My Mom and I put a bunch of household/vintage stuff in. We are hoping to clear out some of that too! It was HOT today, and sounds like it will stay hot through the weekend. Maybe some thundershowers, a gift from Gustov??
