The Sweetest Gift

A few days before christmas a local friend stopped by my house and delivered the sweetest gift.  I think it was so wonderful b/c it was so unexpected.  It truly melted my heart.  She knew (from reading my blog :) that I collect these vintage wooden bowls, and she found this amazing one and knew I wouldnt have it.  It such an irregular pattern, I have never seen one like it!  Along with an adorable glass owl tree ornament, and a huge bundle of vintage fabrics.  This could not have been anymore of a perfect gift for me.

As you can see, Bella enjoyed it too, especially the paper!

Things like this go deeper for me, I look at it as if Im doing something right in this world.  For someone Im not super close to (although i would love to be) to randomly think of me during this time of year when there is so much going on, is the sweetest thing ever.  Im truly grateful for moments like these.

A part of me wishes I could do this holiday season all over.  I was in such a funk and having a hard time getting into b/c of my own emotions.  And now that it is over, Im into it!  Lets do it again, ha ha!

PEACE,

The Girl Behind Poor Pitiful Pearl

Is this not the cutest picture?  This is the gorgeous doll behind PPP that I am always talking about, and in this photo she is wearing her Violet Bella patchwork folk top.  I loved how she has transitioned this tank top into fall wear.  And absolutely perfect with her new yellow rainboots she is so crazy about!


More on this awesome lady and her most amazingly adorable family a bit later!  You are in for one CUTE surprise!

My Louisiana Girls

Here are a few pics from when Katelyn came through Texas last week!

It was so nice to see her, even for a short bit. And I know I have said it before, but I am 100% in love with Leena.


Katie is so stinkin cute!

Snuggling with Leena


We had a sushi picnic at the river!



Leena was super excited about the picnic when I told her there were ducks at the river! So she spent most of her time looking at the ducks.


duck watching.

Leena fed her puppy fig newtons :)


James showed Leena the ducks

Leena is the only little kid I have ever seen James just hang out with, its so cute.

This afternoon we had a wonderful time at a local venue saying goodbye to a good friend. The whole town had a party for her, it was really quite moving and sweet.

Then we came home and watched 4 Rooms with Jen, while our friend Jonny taught my dad how to dance at a local bar. Quite an eventful day!

Which means I had a reason to dress up, so the cutest outfit post ever comes tomorrow!

PEACE,
Laura
