my latest Etsy purchase from Little Pink House.

Our unexpected guest (a gray tree frog) who made a home on our new wicker rocker for a few days this past week.

Famiglia

I just HAD to share my favorite new handmade item! Melissa from Little Pink House made this adorable family portrait for me. I am just nutty about her work! Words can not adequately express the joy I feel when I look at this sweet little piece!! Oh, the thrill of custom, handmade loveliness!! AND, Melissa has a delightful blog that you all must check out!

Moving Update

Just a few boxes, one rolling mill, and a solid maple bench (calling in more muscles for those two) and the move will be complete! Look at that light! Look at that floor! Look at that wall color (it's called Contemplation by Behr)! I'm giddy!

While I adjust to my working quarters, my bench will be a bit junked up with the odd box or tool. However, I found just enough space last night to start on a customer's ring and I'm super eager to continue this morning!

So, I leave you with this:
10 Things that Make Me GIDDY!
