Well, I didn't want to turn this blog into a shopping blog but here I am again, posting about another shop.Oh well!
I'm completely smitten, yes smitten-with everything in the Little Edie shop. I adore the products but am also inspired by the styling, everything is spot on.
I mean, moccasins, an adorable mobile, a fun bath time kit and a teepee? What's not to love?
Found via the Handmade Charlotte blog.
When it comes to dressing Asa, I don't typically put him in "sweet" feeling clothes but for some reason I'm pretty smitten with the sweet line Plum Bunny.
Plum Bunny is produced by my favorite organic line, Kate Quinn, and features a muted palette and simple little details. I'm pretty smitten with their pilot caps, bunny onesies, and rompers. For girls they have adorable legging and dresses.
They are on sale today over at the shopping site Zulily. If you join via this link, I will get a credit on my order. http://www.zulily.com/invite/apowell840 Yes, full disclosure there! But seriously, the stuff is over half off! Zulily has daily sales and it's one of the few places I buy organic clothes since they are always clearanced priced.
Ok, ok...I know I said I didn't want to turn this into a "shopping blog" but have you seen this gorgeous store?
It carries artisan goods from Africa and they are all so lovely! The ones above would look particulary swell in a nursery I think.

Tonight is our first birthing class! I'm nervous, I don't always do well in group seetings but I'm sure it'll be fun...
Ok, back soon.
I think that Elizabeth Antonia could replace the name of her shop "the littlest" with the name "the cutest".
Because seriously-aren't theses the cutest little vintage pieces?
Besides having a lovely little vintage shop, she also has a great blog.
Happy Fritday!
Thanks for the support with the last post, just needed to vent a bit.
So Marie Gardeski, the woman behind plastic foliage and the wonderful clothing line-more less has started making kid's clothes!
I am in LOVE with them! I adore the way she mixes patterns and stripes. I cannot wait until she stocks them in her shop. You can follow her adventures here at her blog.
(Two posts in one day? Yeah, I'm crazy.)
I must admit, I am not much of a jewelry person.
That being said, I think jewelry is great and wonderful-and can be a very special thing.
My Mom had an old antique locket she wore with a family photo inside. (Mom-was it a photo of your Mom or Grandma? I cannot remember...) And this locket had a dent in it. She always said that the dent was from us babies grabbing it and trying to teethe on it! She also had a necklace with gold charms for each of us that looked similar to these.
I've been thinking that it would be pretty great to have a special little keepsake necklace for baby t. These are some that have caught my eye recently-from the top: French Enamel Lockets from Trois Petits Points available at Bekilna and Spartan, Kaleidoscope Locket from Verabel FOX, Pockets Full of Lockets NEcklace by Verabel, Custom Simplicity Necklace by Jeneri Jewelry and Personalised Necklace also by Jeneri.
I have to admit, I'm in love with the bright red French Enamel Locket...
Do you have a special keepsake piece?
The illustration above is by the very talented illustrator, Anna Emilia. You can find her shop here and her blog here.
I wish I was as cute as the lady in the illustration above, by truth be told my current style is lacking.
At about ten weeks my pants started to feel tight and my shirts became a bit snug in the chest area. I peeked at the local Old Navy maternity section (I couldn't bear to go into a real maternity wear store yet) and didn't really find anything in my size.
Now at about 15 weeks, I really can't fit into any bottoms I own. I'm wearing dresses or super long tunics over my unbuttoned jeans. I'm wondering, what were your favorite maternity wear pieces? Any stores you can recommend? Did you go to traditional maternity stores or...?
Also, I'm in Austin and it's already in the 80's! I'm thinking I may skip maternity jeans and just go for shorts and skirts...?
What made you feel presentable and not frumpy during pregnancy? I would love any tips. Thanks!
