Hi there! Not much time to chat today… we've got a book due this week! We're making so much progress, but it will be morning to night work days for most of this coming week. It's crunch time, for sure! We're trying to think of a fun way to celebrate next weekend after it's turned in. Open to ideas… Here are a few snapshots from our week. xo, elsie + emma
PS. Our white saltwater sandals from the first photo are c/o ModCloth.

Congrats on the book girls! Best of luck finishing it up!
I’d say buy yourselves something sort of expensive for the new studio. Something you haven’t been able to justify just yet… I know that gifts or sweet treats or special trips are my favorite way to celebrate my hard work.
Oh, I am so proud of you girls. I have been following along since mid 2010 and watching the progress you have both made has been phenomenal! I am so excited for you and cannot wait to see the book. When our little family travels from Australia to the US next year, I told my husband that we must stop in and say hello 🙂
Big loves to you all,

So proud of you girls! What an amazing accomplishment this will be! And I would say celebrate with potluck…lots of close friends and family, and good food!
I don’t know if you’re thinking big or small celebration, but my favorite part of the state of Missouri is the St. Louis City Museum! You probably know it already, but it’s like a giant playground for adults and kids alike. You could do a fun overnight and play tourist. Congrats on the book!
Your store is like from a movie set…so adorable!! I love it!! I have been wanting to get saltwater sandals…and now it is the top of my to get list:) Nothing makes me nuttier than old beautiful books-I love to rebind them, add some blank pages and make a journal…it seems like something you all would love! Now to celebrate-a massage, a drink, a dinner and a movie out? Sounds good to me!!
I love this blog. You girls are such an inspiration. Best of luck with the book. You deserve something wonderful to celebrate its completion. What about a backyard party with family and friends? That sounds like something you would like 🙂
I’ve found the “crunch-time” can sometimes be the best moments of accomplishment. I perform at my best under pressure!
GOOD LUCK and the book will be amazing.
Nail polish color with the white sandals?? You should get in the habit of always telling us the color names/brands, because it seems like every single one you wear I love!
Yay for almost being done with the book! Y’all have been working so hard, and I;m sure it will pay off.
Weird question; do you find that the saltwater flats have good arch support? I’ve been seeing them everywhere and they’re so cute, but I have all sorts of foot problems and can only usually wear (ugly, ugh) “supportive” shoes.

It is so cool that you are writing a book! I hope to do that someday, but it’s quite another thing to actually make that happen! Well done!! 😀

Exciting! Good luck with your book – sounds brilliant!
You should celebrate with some cupcakes and bubble tea for sure!
Have fun!

I’m thinking about getting those sandals. Did you order them online? I’m a 7 1/2 but tem only do 7 or 8. Any recommendations?
good luck with all your work!
I’m loving this series.
Fab job girls. Your posts inspire my days. Maybe you can mix & match your celebrations with us Brits & do a Jubilee theme “knees up”!
love the sandals!
