Can I Get That Burrito in Green and Yellow Please?

Now that I'm looking forward to becoming a grandma again I've got my eyes open for unique baby items. I found a few must-haves at Elle Belle.


This Baby Burrito Blanket is perfect for swaddling, large enough to use for more than a couple of months, and would make a terrific "table" for a toddler's (invisible) tea party.





This darling I Spy Quilt looks like hours of toddler fun. Bright colors and child-friendly images will keep your little one engaged and entertained. Double sided means double the fun!

I Was Meant to Love You


Someday I'd love to have a huge collection of art. For now I satisfy myself with searching out new artists, and an occasional splurge on an art-print greeting card. This print by Valérie Parizeault of Witty Workshop is one of my new favorites.





I may splurge on one of her greeting cards. She has a unique way of saying "I love you," that stays with you long after the card has been opened.

Make sure you check out her blog for her monthly giveaways!

Want to Smell Like Croquembouche?

I've been looking for a natural, aluminum-free deodorant, and found ZAJA Natural Handmade Confections. There you can find not only a nice variety of deodorants, but body wash, lotion, and solid perfume in croquembouche scent. Are you more of a chocolate person? No problem, it's there. Lemon curd? Yep. Almond cheesecake. Spiced pumpkin. Even Flaming Black Russian. I can't decide whether to shower or have dessert. Maybe I should have dessert first....

Spring Has Not Sprung

I'm ready for winter to end and spring to warm and brighten the days. That's not gonna happen soon enough, so to help get me through the cold, gray days I've found these lovely cards and prints from Chalk Hill Studio.


This Pink Rose Notecard is a beautiful way to send a note to someone special.



This Red Poppies card is so pretty I'm tempted to frame it.



I'd love to look at this Peony print as I wake up each day!
