VIOLET BELLA LOVIN'

Many of you know that Violet Bella was my first shop on etsy, before Roots and Feathers.  It's been officially open since 2008.  But since the conception of Roots and Feathers, I have hardly put any effort into keeping up with it at all.  For a while I have even contemplated letting it go completely.  I just can't.  A part of my heart is there, and always will be.  So, I am going to spark the fire again and put some more love and effort into my sweet, darling shop, Violet Bella.   

I actually made a facebook page for it too, after all this time, I never had one.  So go 'like' my page if you want to stay current on new items and discounts.  I gave the etsy page and the fabebook page a fresh new banner look. 

I'll be adding new pieces over the next week.  I know most of the stuff that is there has been there forever, so just check back soon for some newbies!

THRIFTING ADVENTURE

Katelyn and her family got to my house late on thursday evening, so Friday was our first real day together.  It did not take long for the girls to find themselves in my bedroom playing dress up and bedazzling themselves.  Leena remembered I had these jewels from the last time they came when we used them in a photoshoot for the bohemian collective.  She loves them.  And now, Penelope does too.

We spent a good part of the day a few towns over thrifting.  On the way there we had to pee, so we stopped in our favorite coffee shop in Ingram, Spirit Wind Java.  We got smoothies and lounged on their couches for a bit, taking photos, instagramming, breastfeeding and just being.  Then we went to a few of my favorite regular spots to find treasures.  I found a few stellar things.  A huge, double planter macrame hanger, I mean huge.  Its so rad.  A new pillow for the couch.  A crochet blanket.  A wooden moon shaped jewelry hanger.  A book.  And a wooden bowl.  All for around a whopping $10, if that.  How I love thrifting.   

Then we came home and went swimming in the river, which was my favorite part of the whole trip.  It was so much fun.  Lots and LOTS of photos from that coming soon.
