i want to make these for the 4th of July…
her dresses are so very magical.
i first heard this band because Jeremy was writing some string parts for them.their song (“In The Spirit of Beauregard”) is probably my very favorite song this week. beautiful.

Gorgeous decorating! I was just wondering if you find the chalk smudges as you move things around on the desk. I am about to move into a new home and have been thinking I would like chalkboard paint somewhere and love that idea but just wondered how it works practically? Thanks so much
Chloe,
I don’t use this desk to actually work at, so it works well for me. I think this ideas is best used for a coffee table or table like a side table… not as much for a primary working space. 🙂
XO. els
The comic art by Emily is fabulous!
Eeeee I love those little slider cupcakes! I’ll have to try them this summer 🙂
Love your desk painted with c’board paint. Especially with the to do remembers around the items. SO cute-and practical!
I love the desk! I want to do that now, I bet it would help keep me organized. : )
Love the new desk top & those hamburger cupcakes look deelish! Thanks for your weekly inspirations. It’s so fun to see what motivates you as an artist.

Lovely!!!!! That comic is so sweet!
PS: Where do you get chalkboard paint? I’m envious!
I cannt wait to hear about the cleanse and any othe of your stay in awesome shape tricks!
#7 may have been me 🙂 I’m glad you love it.
though I was originally told of it by one of my co-baristas when I started working at Starbucks 2 years ago… so I dont get FULL credit, haha.
One sip and I was convinced that it’s the perfect summer coffee!
I can’t get enough of em myself 🙂
Did you see this? http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2009/06/fast-food-fun.html
I WANT YOUR KITCHEN!!!!!
where did you get the wood grain from?
wondering if you write on your chalboarddesk with regular stick chalk or with liquid chalk pens. looks like the latter (and they’re far less messy/better for allergies too, i’m told).
Love Emily’s comic strip. Way to go Emily, you are awesome
Leanne 🙂
I adore your desktop 🙂
this is an attempt…i hope ms. elsie see’s this..i wish i wish i wish that she can visit my blog..it would mean the world to me if she can say a quick hello from to this other side of the globe..ur an inspiration ma’am..thank u soooooooooo much…
Love those prints – nad what at great idea with the chalkboard paint on the desk!
(hope it´s ok that I put a link to your blog from mine?)

Elsie…Miss. Elsie…you have many fans..and I am one of them…each post you make opens my eyes wider than browsing a magazine from one of those convienient store shelves.

I might’ve just swooned over your kitchen.
i’m wondering about the chalkboard paint- Do you need to prime the object you’re painting, or just go at it? I’d love to hear from you!
