Happy Easter!!
It looks like it's about time for the Easter bunny to make his rounds... I feel like, here it is Easter... And I didn't share cascarones or egg wrappers or freebies. Or remind you of where to find them. Slaps forehead. Spring has really caught me. I have been watching and listening to endless ...

Doing Day 1 {Doodling}
Remember how we were talking the other day about, not just looking, but doing? About, how hard it is to get started sometimes? How, often, we don't even know where to start? Sometimes, when I am looking at decor magazines or garden photos, I feel a desire in me to go out and do. I jump out of m...
Lovin your doodles Ms. V!!

Owlie Valentine! {Free Printable}
Hoot hooooot! I thinks it's time for some free printable Valentine's, from me, to you. Don't you? What with Valentine's day less than a month away. (That line above is from a Modern English song, sans the owl part, haha) I wanted to give everyone enough time to print and cut their freebies. ...

Christmas Love all around...
I LOVE everything...especially that Peppermint kisses label (you need to add some more to your shop Ms. V, ah hem ;) ;) I am obsessed with the real peppermint kisses and one of my girlfriends and I have this ongoing joke about it. She keeps bringing them to me as 'baby gifts,' tee hee and I keep telling her it's time to get my body back! It'd be awesome if I decorated a jar full of these to put on her front porch! And the Merry Santa postcards are my fav...still have quite a few from last year to use, but those berries and roses are just precious!
Merry early Christmas Vanessa,
Jamie :)
Christmas Jar Labels, Christmas Cards & More!
Ooooooo, have I been up to some sneaky makings. I can't wait to share. New treats in my on-line shop! What, what could these treats be, you wonder perhaps? Well. I had a major heart desire for some outrageous, silly, wacky nonsensical Christmas makings. The sort of makings that make you wond...

Curious in the Garden...
Come in, come in, won't you? I have some curious garden specimens to share... Such as, the teeny tiniest most perfectest little punkincake I ever did see. How teensy you ask? A miniature, really. Why, I just scooped that little thing up and swooned when I saw it. A gift from the fairy pump...
Love the tablecloth...super creative Ms. Vanessa! Love that you and the Mr. have turned your cottage into your vacation spot, tee hee.
Love that last quote for sure! I'm back in the hospital, ugh...making the best of it by visiting your world ;)

Tablecloth Days...
What on earth do you do with your fave skirts and nightgowns when they meet their demise? I have been known to turn bits of clothing into just about anything. A skirt becomes a tablecloth or a curtain in 2 seconds. So, when I didn't know what to use as a tablecloth for my lil' cottage table - ...
Oh pumpkin love...I wish we had wee pumpkins in our little garden! I love the fall, although I'm not sure I'm ready either, I feel ya Ms. V! Love the jewelry.

Pumpkin Patch Love + Something Pretty for You
I was at the craft store the last week in July, loading up on supplies. I walked into the store and was blindsided by autumn decor. I was jolted. I am not ready, I thought. So, I didn't look at it at all. Of course, I am a major major major autumn lover, and would love a break in the weather...
