here it is.

i’ve just wrapped up the photo session, and will move on to the measurements this afternoon while the bird naps. i’m working super fast to get this done, and surprisingly, i’m a bit ahead of schedule (!!!), so look out for new things in the shop starting this evening!

today is a good day. just brought home a huge haul of vintage- like, abnormally huge-a-licious- and i will work quickly to get it all prepped and added to the shop asap.

i rarely keep stuff for myself anymore, but i couldn’t resist these two treasures. finding the red shoes was like a cinderella slipper kind of moment. perfect fit. and the bag- well, it just speaks to me, what can i say.

fear not though. there is so much goodness, and i am prepared to part with the rest. stay tuned!

i have a teeny request for you. my sweet little internet nephew wolfie, who is my dear friend alex’s boy, is hanging out in the top 50 of a photo contest that could win him 100k for college. by the time he’s 18, lord only knows what college tuition will be, so how great would it be for him to win this contest!

head on over and CAST YOUR VOTE. and if you should be so inclined, you can do so once a day for the next week until the contest wraps up.

thanks a million!!!

um, hello- can we all agree that youn is an absolute s-t-u-n-n-e-r and she should totally have that boyfriend of hers take pictures of her more often!??!

thank you, youn! you made my day with these pictures.

new in the shop today: vintage trench coats for spring rains, and pretty shoes + handbags.

(i am finishing up measurements + descriptions this morning, and should have all these thing in the shop by mid afternoon EST, so check in then! or subscribe to the RSS feed to know straight away!)

that we will see green grass again. someday soon.

if you are currently experiencing the World’s Longest Winter, hang in there. it’s got to end soon.

yesterday’s sunny, snow melting, 50 degree bliss was such a tease.

thank god for new sunshine pillows. i needed a bit of sunshine in my day like you wouldn’t believe.

i got a huge wave of inspiration this weekend and did some major editing of my wardrobe. and it feels amazing. my closet is still really full, but it’s the best of the best- and only stuff i *really* want to wear. i purged about a dozen pair of jeans, oodles of tshirts, shoes, etc. perhaps a picture is in order? the other thing that’s really nice is i got rid of all the wire hangers. it makes a difference! i have slowly been working our way to all wooden hangers- whenever i see them at the thifts, i pick them up. around the holidays, i scored a couple dozen nice new ones for next to nothing. one day, i hope to have all wooden hangers. is that weird?

when i finish up the closet (still have to organize that top shelf of bags + such) i promise a photo. perhaps it will inspire you to do a little early spring cleaning of your own!!

in other news, i have added some springy handmade items to the shop, and i am offering free shipping world wide on these things all week. so head on over and have a peek!

a huge thanks to all you ladies (and gents!) for all your recent orders. i appreciate you all so much! and i hope that you are lovin’ your new goodies.
