Random things I love about my home...

Violet has deemed this chair on our porch her chair. I love to sneak peaks at her while she is on the porch because I usually find her looking adorable like this...


haha, James and I were packaging up stuff the other day and forgot to push Bella's pillow back over, then later I saw her sitting on it like this! geez Im glad she didnt fall, then it wouldnt have been so funny!

My new pretty vintage lamp I found at a garage sale last weekend! Im so in love with.

And the weekend before that I found this AMAZING handmade macrame owl wall hanging at a garage sale for only $2. I was the happiest little girl.

I cleaned my porch this past weekend and re-did all the lights. It feels so nice now.


My morning glories are still growing like crazy! Im so glad I planted them...

In the background, I have been working on a massive order for Ruche, should be in there shop in the next week or so!


and of course, Bella was my assistant :)

Exciting news, today we got in 115 shirts for James Skyline Fever shirts! I think I was more excited than he was! We have several new designs that are sooooo adorable, I cant wait to put them out!

Mini Kitchen Makeover

Here is our new fridge that James parents gave us! I am so in love with it. I had no idea what a difference a fridge could make. It is a huge step up from the one that came with this old house. I can fit so much just in the door of it, its crazy! Im sure everyone was just dying to know that, ha ha.

Anyway, I got all my photos back up and it looks so fresh and new. I love having lots of pics of my mommy on it. Its comforting.

I love the photo of my mom in the middle (the woman with the big white cup). We had so much fun that day at an old coffee shop in town, Full Moon. She loved that big cup, Ill never forget it. She had the prettiest eyes Ive ever seen on a woman.
I put back up our wedding invitation. I love having it around to look at everyday. Which our 3 year anniversary is coming up on the 22nd! Ill finally post some wedding photos!
One of my old paintings sit on top of our Ikea shelf in the kitchen.
I made this for breakfast, speaking of kitchens! James brought me home some roasted hatch chili peppers, oh goodness they are yummy. I sliced them up and re-grilled them a bit, then threw them on top of corn tortillas, a fried egg and some baby swiss cheese. Yummy :)
In one of my next posts I am going to link to where all my goodies I was wearing in the PPP post were from, Im not ignoring your questions!

Fall Wardrobe Sneak Peak + 5 Loves of Home



Here is a little sneak peak into Violet Bella's Fall wardrobe collection. Just the beginning! Major shop wardrobe update, hopefully today, so stay tuned!


Introducing something I hope to continue each week, is Five Loves of Home... 5 little bits of my life each week. This can be random things around my home, food I ate, things I love... basically little comforts of what I call home. Things that make me happy about my little place.

1. This vintage orange velvet swivel chair. It is one of the wooden heavy duty kinds. A rare gem stuck back in the back warehouse of a thrift store. Renea and I went thrifting in kerrville two days ago, and this was my highlight. I needed a new sewing chair badly, I was using a bench, not to comfy and not easy to move around, so this was a dream come true. And the best part, it was only $10!!!

2. I dont usually make pasta out of a box. But when I do, I love Annie's organic pasta. Not only does it taste way yummy than crappy Kraft mac n cheese, the packaging wins my heart over with cuteness. I mean come on, it has a 'rabbit' of approval (instead of a seal of approval, ha ha). Cuteness!!! And it says lots of fun things all over the box, love it!

3. Boxes of beautiful vintage trim. One of my favorite things. All of this trim is so special to me, it almost breaks my heart everytime I use it, b/c I know Im that much closer to it being gone. Most of it is one of a kind finds that are very vintage, some I have never seen before and probably wont ever again... A seriously love of mine.

4. Sending out my packages, actually makes me happy. I love putting together the final touches of my product just as much as the product itself. And I have to say, after many changes, I am so very happy with all of my paper goods that get sent out. The photo on the left was a limited thing, which I am almost out of, but gosh I think they are beautiful. The next one, was a drawing that Janel did for me, which I could not be more head over heals for!!! The next is one of my photos printed on cardstock, that I use for my little handwritten notes. And then there is the business card, which I adore. I change the images up each time I reorder, so there are only 500 of each card! And if it is a special gift, I will gift wrap it up all cute, I added a little blue feather to this one!

5. This pink bowl my dad made for me. My dad got into pottery a few years back, and he has made me a few things. We use this bowl all of the time. And I am always soooo happy when I get ot fill it with clementines. The colors are so beautiful together, it just makes me smile.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! I am going to get ready for this huge shop update, work on my Ruche order, and a few custom orders... I sewed for 12 hours straight yesterday, so I think I am going to lay off the machine today, lol!

PEACE,
Laura
