Adorable Handmade Toddler Dress

Check out this ADORABLE dress from Modest Maven (website ------>). Even though Olivia is only 5 months, I asked her to make this as an 18 month size. Below is the model in the dress. I love it!

These Mean Cards Are Hilarious

I saw and article with these cards found at www.meancards.com. I think they're hilarious... here a couple of my favorites..

Sentimental

This is where Danny and I fell in love...Union Station in Nashville, TN. It's such a beautiful hotel  and I really wish we could just live there!! We stay there every time we visit, and it's only fitting that this time we have our little Olive with us. The haze on the photo is from the very humid air fogging the camera...gotta love the southern humidity! 

I love this girl!

These were all taken this past week...I just think my baby girl is so special..

always curious and wide eyed...
loving her new bouncy...
early morning laugh attack with dad...

Danny and Olive in the Portland Art Museum!

This photo of Danny with his Olive tree tattoo and our newborn Olive was chosen to be part of the Portland Art Museum's tattoo project. I am very proud:)

More Date Night Wear

So, date nights are a big deal now since we haven't had them in SO long..This outfit I'm really excited about! Not only is it absolutely adorable with the ruffles and off shoulder cut, but I got the shirt at Target for $14.99! I paired it with a simple black skirt and a chunky jewel bracelet I made yesterday.  

harlow Jewelry Now at Fuchsia in Portland!!

I am SOOO excited that my jewelry is now at my favorite jewelry shop in Portland, Fuchsia! I took a few pictures this weekend and I love how it's displayed:)

Friend's First Birthday Party

My good friend's son had his first birthday party at my house this weekend. Here are some of the photos from the event.  He's a sweet sweet boy!

the birthday boy himself...his mom got him this adorable tie shirt on etsy. 

his beautiful mom.....

I made so many cupcakes for the event that I decided to use them as the party favors too! I think they turned out pretty cute wrapped in goody bags and sealed with a photo of the birthday boy printed on address labels.

Date Dress Up

So Danny and I finally got a sitter to watch Olive and have resumed having dates sans baby.  This means I get to dress up and not have to worry about poop/drool/spit-up!! Here is what I wore this week.  The dress is from Anthropology, earrings by me (naturally), and aren't these sandals adorable?! I feel so summery and breezy in this dress...

New Hat New Obsession ~ Fingers

The hat we got a few months ago finally fits! It's from Muluk in Portland. Olive has also found her new favorite toy, her hands! They are ALWAYS in her mouth these days...

Olive's New Threds

The shoes are too cute! These are from a second hand store, Bella Stella in Portland, but their normal website is www.bical.com

OK, so one of the best things about having a baby girl is the clothes! I can't help it, I'm addicted.  Here are a few of my favorite purchases lately.  They are from a fellow etsy shop -karinapotestio.etsy.com

Here are some custom orders I have done lately.... you folks have some great ideas:)

My New Favorite Necklace

I found these rare paraiba topaz gemstones and had to get them! I think they are so beautiful with the darker edges and lighter centers.  I also just started using these cool antiqued rings. I think they add so much to the piece!
