around the shop


We've got lots of new treasures all over the store right now.  From apparel to summery red, white and blue prizes to our favorite everyday pieces.  Here's a little tease of all the goodness in the store at the moment...


Can't wait to see you this summer!

the library


It has been another crazy weekend.  A volleyball tournament, a child with the flu, getting ready to go to the beach, starting a pillow company, preparing for the Chicago Burches to come to Phoenix for the week (they're here!) and all the other usual things that come up between work and family.  Wait, did I say start a pillow company?  Oh, yeah.  When I have a million things going on already, I can't help but add one more...  I have a problem.  Anyway, Krista and I just started a little company we are calling The Library, with hopes of it expanding into more than just pillows.  For now we are making just the pillows, though.  They are all made with vintage linens and little vintage accents whether it be an old handkerchief or lace trimming, etc.  We are so excited about how they are turning out and have been spending hours in my craft room creating them and fighting over the serger...  it has been lots of fun.  Here is a little sneak peek...  Call the store if there is one you see that you just have to have!


and coming soon as a pillow...

So, be honest, what do you think?

a baby shower {part two}


After all the decorating and preparing for the shower, I must say we had a great time at the actual party.  So many people came to celebrate with Jen and share in her joy.  We are all so excited to meet sweet Bella!


Christine made delicious panna cotta, however as soon as it was topped with berries and garnished with a cookie, I was too busy devouring it to get a picture.  Even thinking about it now, my mouth is watering...


Check out the personalized label made by Krista...

Thank you so much to everyone who came!  We hope you had a wonderful time!

a baby shower {part one}


As you can guess, we are all getting very excited for the arrival of our very sweet Jen's little baby girl.  So excited in fact that, although she is not making her big debut until October, we couldn't help but throw a little shower in her honor in June.  I love a reason to throw a party and what better reason than a new baby!


more to come tomorrow...
