My heart
March 31st, 2011 · No Comments · Shop Online
After Nate was born, Chris got my a lovely necklace from E. Ria Designs on Etsy with a N for Nate on it. I absolutely love my necklace (so that he can always be close to my heart, gah). I picked out this necklace because the initial was quite small and offset, making it a [...]

Normally when I browse through Etsy I stick to the Vintage pages. I completely forgot that there are some amazing, reasonably priced dresses in the handmade section. Check out the amazing Dressholic shop with gorgeous (and cheap!) dresses designed with a retro flair by a young Korean designer. I adore this orange polka dot dress! [...]

I’m so grateful and excited to celebrate my fist mother’s day this year. I don’t have a ton of pictures of me and Nate (I’m usually behind the camera these days), so I’d like to look lovely on the day. I’m looking for a spring dress (even it if is cold that day) that has [...]

Vintage Misfits on Etsy

I came across a great Etsy seller today, Vintage Misfits, and found two sweet dresses that I might have to get. Again I’m drawn to the black and white…guess all the baby toys taking over my house are enough colour for me!

Breakfast

Hello there. It’s been a long time…almost 6 months. Sorry for the long absence, but mommy duties prevailed. I decided to use my maternity leave as time purely devoted to my little guy. You just don’t get those early days back you know. Anyhow, he’s getting bigger and better at sleeping now so I have [...]
Hart+Sew Vintage Baby Clothes
August 10th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Shop Online, Shop Vintage
I heart Hart+Sew! My new first-stop-shop for vintage baby and toddler clothes. My husband thought I was absurd buying vintage duds for our dude, but when he saw the tiny gym shorts he made some pretty embarrassing baby squeals (and will probably ban me from Etsy for life for telling you that!) All the little [...]

Buy this: Mint Parcel Prints on Etsy
April 7th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Shop Online
I stumbled on this great Etsy shop via the papernstitch blog (a great place for everything pretty). I am smitten by the adorableness of these prints, as well as their price ($6). Think I’ll have to order a few (dozen) for the baby’s room if I can ever decide on my favourites. What do you [...]

Springtime Shopping

April showers may bring May flowers, but it doesn’t mean you have to let the dreary weather get you down. Embrace the few hours of sunshine we get a week and dress sunshiny as soon as those clocks go forward…that’s my philosophy anyway. Here’s some pretty things that would perk up any old winter wardrobe.

Last Sunday I visited the new and improved Dublin Flea Market. With all the new stalls under the marquees in the parking lot, I was a bit overwhelmed by the choice (and am still regretting not getting a couple of items, but them’s the breaks). Here’s what I did come home with:
