My mom bought Brynn a pair of TOMS shoes! When you buy a pair, the company gives a pair to a child in need. The packing is so neat, giving you a bag for the shoes & a sticker! I love the back with the TOMS tag sewn on!
I picked up a pair of MISSONI shoes for Brynn at Target! These were way too too cute to pass up! I wish they had them in my size!:) As the inventory goes down, I think the line is going on clearance! :) Time to stock up before it's gone for good!
The pink mocassins are so warm & so precious (the inside is faux leopard fur!:) And the boots are my favorite! Brynn looks ADORABLE in them! You can pull up the sides for a taller boot, or turn them down, for the faux fur to show!:)
I placed an order for this fabric from Spoon Flower!
I spent quite some time on the site...just lovin' all the different fabric!
I picked this out, in particular, because it's similar to David Hicks "La Fiorentina" fabric,
which I DROOL over when I come across it in design magazines! I wanted this fabric for above my kitchen sink..a lil' homemade curtain..but I ordered quilting weight (not-knowing-what-I-was-doing) and so I need to find another use for it, being SO thin!
These are my dream pillows, by David Hicks. I LOVE this pattern!
I picked up this cutie-patootie cookbook and reminded me of Brynn.
It's so colorful and has tons of yummy looking recipes!
I used fresh rosemary on red potatoes and it was so good, and made the house smell so good! We had asparagus and farm-raised tilapia with them! Everyday around 5 pm, I put on my trusty "Williams Sonoma" pink apron and try to whip up something healthy (& tasty) for the fam! It's been a process, but I have COME TO LOVE COOKING and BEING IN THE KITCHEN! Practice pays off!:)
A good snack that I've made a couple times is spinach & artichoke dip. I loved these MU chips I found at "Price Chopper." I use 2 boxes of "Stauffers" cream of spinach, and add a can of artichoke hearts and top it off with parmesan cheese! IT-IS-SO-GOOD!
My recent Bella by Karah project is working with the event manager at THE BERG! The lovely space where Doug & I had our vow renewal party! I am created the space's personal stationery, as well as, a postcard for them to mail to brides. Here is one of the designs I presented to them.
I have been keeping 3 plants alive in our house! (2/3 are shown here.) I love having something green and lively in each room. One day, we'll do a garden (the kids would love it too!)
A friend I met at Univ. of Iowa, asked me to create baby shower invites, and that they be gender neutral. So I did orange paisley & elephants (which I can never resist!:)
{Thank you for continued support, Emily. You are a top customer at BBK!}
I've used this orange dahlia flower & quite a few invites I have done this fall. These were for a wedding shower.
Brynn was a lil' puppy for Halloween! This was Evan's "Pottery Barn" costume from last year (They have the CUTEST costumes!) Evan wanted NOTHING to do with dressing up this year..but Brynn will wear any accessory...a hat, scarf, sunglasses, bows.SHE IS ALL GIRL!:)
My lil' boo boo is not feeling the best! Praying it's nothing! He's been extra cuddly and sleeping in. Trying to keep him hydrated and giving him fever reducer! xoxoxo Evan Michael!
Cheers to 3 years! Doug & I had the best party on November 1st, 2008!
What a magical night with our family & friends!
Signing off...enjoy your week! Love, Karah
