a little fox dress

Hello! I'm doing a small run of these baby fox dresses and they are up for preorder of my website now! They might be my favorite baby item i've put in my shop to date, I think i actually squealed when i finished it. This is a very limited edition print so they wont be around for long but i have about 10 left! Size 3 months to 3T!

You can buy them here!

just for fun

Back in September I did a just for fun photo shoot with my friend Mal and I'm just now getting around to editing and posting these.. I'm kicking myself for that because I like them a whole lot. Better late than never though right??
I'm so glad she agreed to it.. She was exactly what I had pictured in mind for them. I love love (love!) doing creative shoots like this just for the heck of it... it's so refreshing! I'm challenging myself to do more like this... i say once a week!
You can see the rest of them on my photography blog, here!

on a beautiful mess today.. plus our bedroom

Hello! I was over on A beautiful mess today sharing one of my favorite spaces in our new home. You can hop on over there to see more photos and hear a little about it! Thanks to the ABM team for having me!




And since many of you have previously asked, the ceramic fox figurine was from target. I got it for my birthday in November and it has since sold out but i'd check your target just in case, i LOVE it.

And here's the current state of our bedroom.. i'm pretty happy with it for now (but the trim is killing me...)





I moved my editing office into our bedroom because I knew I would be spending a whole lot of time doing that and I wanted to keep it separate from my sewing space since that area can already become easily cluttered and busy. This space in our bedroom has made me SUPER productive.. I love it. Though a plant in the pot and some billy balls in the vase would be a good idea.. its very white right now ;)

2012 in review

January - josh went to new zealand and i stayed home and worked and worked and released a bunch of new designs and items.



February - i started getting more photography gigs and baby lumen gave me ultimate baby fever. (she still does by the way..)



March - we moved to a new place in Portland and had a blast exploring one of the coolest areas of the city. (And i made this little bubble tea video)




April - Spring shop update happened, i took lots of photos just for fun (need to do this more..) and for work (michael+chelsea's engagement)




May - i ate at salt and straw too many times and made my own beet ice cream






June - We celebrated Josh's 29th birthday, stayed busy with photography (thats baby buckley), and adopted Leia






July - It was a busy one! I launched the LITTLE vanilla&lace line, we got a vitamix (!), cold brew coffee was my life saver since i was working very long days to keep up with orders and photographing people. And we took a quick road trip to idaho!




August - We spent lots of time going on walks and at the park, and spent the hottest day of the year with friends and a pool





September - we took trips to the coast and to sauvie island, i made a little pillow, and launched the Fall/Winter collection.
