I'd say the Easter bunny came for a visit yesterday, but that would be a lie of epic proportions. We did, however, force sugar and chocolate (though minimal) on O and Ro for probably the third time in their lives. And then there was the presence of pink bunny ears. I'm all about that junk. Dress 'em alike and then ...more»
It. Is. Time. One of our living room sofas has seen better days. You know a little spit up here, there... everywhere. But it's not easy finding something you want to last decade, in furniture anyway. Something that can withstand two large dwarf dogs (some call them Basset hounds), two kids (O and Ro), and my changing tastes.

I get it. No one wants ...more»
Take a look at these photos, and you'll know who rules the roost in these cribs. I keep imagining my youth, stuffed animals lined up all around me to make up for the complete and utter lack (read: void) of neighborhood playmates. In elementary school, the plush toys would be replaced with books. By my 20s, a penchant for kooky ...more»
Thanks a lot Oh Happy Day! Thanks to you, I've now found the crack habit I've always been able to avoid. It comes in the form of little brass camera charms and felt balls and ribbons... from ornamentea. It's a crafter's paradise sans kook and kitsch. For evidence, I submit to you:

3/4" Dupioni Silk Ribbon
Exhibit B:
Said camera charm
