cheers!
Yay! Katie loves her Urban headphones (hopefully you will too!) The paintings look awesome and we couldn’t be happier with Katie’s! Thanks!
My daughter and I have fallen in love with your paintings! I’m very partial to the photographer (since that’s what I do) and my girl LOVES the “still learning” girl!
gah! i’ve had my eye on those headphones for weeks. your blog is always such a rockstar of inspiration.
Wow, what an lovely record player…I just got some Little Golden Book read alongs that come with records at a junk shop. Original Frosty and Rudolph…they are too cute. I am going to check out UO online. The finger knitting looks adorable too. I started a felted wool bead garland but it’s not looking like it will get done in time!

p.s. I have a tad of stuff left on my Etsy if you need funky glassware for presents.
that finger knitting looks so cool!!!!
The Ally and Sophia pics went to my friend! And they are so rad, great likenesses of them!
I want to learn how to finger knit!!!!!
I just want to say I absolutely adore your paintings. I may just have to buy one very soon! Your work is just adorable and sweet =-)
cool! i was going to get a record player for christmas, i love the one you pictured!
I have that record player and I just adore it. I hope you do too!
yay!! they are all the cutest of all wonders!
I was looking at that same record player a few days ago…post a review please…I would so appreciate it!
Ello Elsie! I love this post ecspecially, because I make Finger knitted garlands in church!! 🙂 I learned from your dear friend Rachel Denbow!! 🙂
Sounds like a fun trip! I love ALL of the paintings but I think mine is the cutest! I might be biased though 😉
I had my eye on those stamps at Anthropologie for so long last week. Alas, I put them on my wish list….loving them as eye candy too!
I tried the finger knitting yesterday but mine turned out more belty than ropey – don’t know what I’m doing wrong!? It’s pretty anyway 🙂
How much do you charge for the speciality painting? I’m so interested in the next batch. I find myself being left out of a lot of photos (as I’m usually the photographer) so I think that this would be a perfect way to document my life as it is right now. I really love each and everyone you created as well. So beautiful 🙂
Lucky duck! Looks like you nabbed one of the last stamp sets. They’re no longer available on Anthropologie’s website. Love the headphones, too. 🙂
OK, I think I need to commission you to do a painting of my 9 year old pug, Mabel… have you painted Sukie yet?
Love Love LOVE my TL painting. It is hanging out on top of my piano, reminding me to do something creative everyday. Thank you so much! (I let out an audible squeal when I saw the package in the mail :O)
I guess I find peace in this little blog. It is inspirational… Averagely beautiful, so every day and yet it is definately something else.
I love autumn-I think the shop looks so great! :
