How do you like them apples? I have also reduced the shipping costs on most of my prints, so even more reason to purchase from Gingiber!

I wish I was here, sitting at Panera enjoying a chocolate chip muffy, hazelnut coffee, and the latest issue of LivingEtc.

I know that I promised a kitchen reveal, but I am having trouble finding some “before” pictures. As soon as I locate them, I will have a grand old post devoted to my home renovation excursions!

Hello!

If you mosey on over to papernstitch today, you might notice my little Gingiber Etsy shop is the shop of the day!

This is my first attempt at the whole online showcase thing, and right now I am uber excited to see what results I get from being a part of papernstitch.

Ever since miss Violet was diagnosed with a milk allergy, I have been quite frustrated with the lack of attentiveness given to the situation by her day-care. Almost once a week, I pick up Violet and read her “cuddle gram” to see what she has eaten during the day, and she has been given dairy products!

I know that Violet’s allergy does not cause some sort of immediate symptom, so perhaps this is why Violet gets overlooked. However, this does not make it right. So, I am on a mission to remind her daycare that dairy is a no-no.

I made this print with the intention of getting it screen printed onto a shirt for her to wear to school until they get the message. What do you think? Too extreme?

Regardless, if you like the print, it is featured in my Gingiber Etsy shop as of tonight. It is a 5×5 print, and is only $10!!!!!

I hope that you like her as much as I do!

Hello!

Yay for Friday. Violet is in bed, Nathan is napping, and I just hung a door. Makes for a fun Friday Night. The door was nothing special… the previous resident had removed the door between the kitchen and the laundry room and we had never gotten around to putting it back up until now. I will share pictures of my AWESOME kitchen on Sunday, so brace yourselves for pure awesomeness…….

My weekend to-do includes:

1. Find that dining table! (I found a resale shop in town that has great furniture, including the most adorable little telephone table that would be precious in Violet’s room)

2. Work on a new print for the Gingiber Shop

3. FINALLY decide on what color to paint my new mirror and my coffee table.

4. Go to a BBQ at a friends house! (That’s right, I made a friend here in Arkansas!!!)

What are your weekend plans looking like?

Tonight we will have finished remodeling our kitchen. Oh, we’ve been working on it for the past year and a half, but it is totally worth it! I will share pictures of the final product this weekend, once I have my computer back!

In the mean time, I now have an itch for a new kitchen table. The one we have was a hand me down. It is nice, but it used to be a craft table, so the oak wood is covered with glitter and glue residue. Here’s an idea of what I am wanting:

So my sweet blog friend Hannah of B’s Wig Shoppe sent me a special little care package in the mail 2 weeks ago, and I have been meaning to show you!

Hannah gave me a copy of “Handmade Marketplace” and one of her own adorable plush owls from her etsy shop.

Violet calls him puppy, but then again, she calls everything puppy, so we will have to come up with a better name for her new pal an a month or two (after we can expand her vocabulary a bit).

Hannah, you such a doll! Thanks for this incredibly sweet gift!

Be sure to check out Hannah’s blog when you have a chance! Oh, and she started a food blog called “A Quarter Cup” that I have been thoroughly enjoying as well!

Alright folks!

My laptop is still in the shop….. but at least Apple is paying for the repairs this time! I will not have it back for a week, so I am currently borrowing my husbands big old desktop computer. Posts may be lacking this week, for I haven’t the software to edit pictures or work on design *sniffle*.

Today my hubby and kiddo and I got so much done! Two donation trips to the Goodwill Super Store, 1 donation trip to Best Buy’s recycling program, several trips to great garage sales, as well as a craigslist item visit. However, the best thing that came out of our day (aside from spending QT with my family) was this mirror:

Isn’t it dreamy? We stopped by the Washington County Re-Store (a “branch” of Habitat for Humanity) to see their new location. All I can say is WOW! There is so much great furniture and appliances available! But this mirror is what stole my heart.

It looks really old. I cannot date it, but it is really heavy and solid wood. It is in excellent condition! Normally I would paint something like this, but it is almost too pretty to touch!

What do you think?

Gotta go!

Hello!

 I will not have my computer this weekend, as it is in the shop…. again. So here is a quick reminder that you can still download this ADORABLE free Father’s Day Card, created especially for you!

Four out of five indie-snobs agree that if you are really into music and wear your skinny pants as tight as you possibly can, you can listen to the coolest and most exclusive music at any moment, regardless of the time of day, time of year, or temperature. Hold onto your faux Buddy Holly glasses, little hipsters, because that just doesn’t fly for me. If it’s cold and melancholy, i’m going to listen to Bon Iver. If it’s road trip time, i’m rocking out to something i can sing to loudly. And now that it’s officially summer time, i can’t quit listening to The Drums.

Who Are They: The New York via Florida band was originally just for fun, but now last September released their EP Summertime and have gotten a lot of attention. Their music is a cross between The Beach Boys and 80s new wave … all wrapped up in a big chew bubble gum pop sound that’s super catchy and just a lot of fun. You might have heard something like them before, but when you play that first track and let the bright sunshine popsicle happiness flood your car … who cares?
