Melting...

Today the sun is shining warmly and the snow melting away!
Charlie and I splashed in the puddles and explored the park---finally the tennis courts are clear---no ice!!!
I will add some little treats to my etsy shop this week...some little reflective "stones" of polymer clay, a few little houses, some "funky" wall/doorknob hangings, and a fairy folk angel.

Tomorrow I will start a "Giveaway"...in celebration of my birthday (coming this Saturday) and my last year of being in my "thirties"! I'll choose something special..and add some extras as well!

Thanks for stopping by!

a star, a little village & a belly

A wish...a hope...a little "morsel"--created as a distraction between planning and preparing for baby and trying to keep everyone around here happy!

me & my 34 week belly...right before heading outside to work out!

The weekend in review!


Since we've been working on this since last year, I thought I'd share one more post about our children's school gala that we co-chaired for the second year in a row.
It was a big job...a lot of family and personal time was given up, a lot of hours of sleeping were lost, and sometimes--- there were a lot of headaches.
But like all meaningful things in life, the sacrifice and hard work were worth it.
We raised over $200,000 which was amazing for this year's economy and the fact that we are only a pre-k through 5th grade school.
Our endowment fund is really growing, so hopefully we can keep tuition affordable and keep our special little catholic school going well into future generations.
We also raised about $35,000 for a new playground and outdoor area...
the generosity was overwhelming and such a strong sense of community and friendship grew even more than we thought possible!

Now I can begin "nesting"... only 6 and a half weeks (or less) to go!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sticks Mirror...

We won this from our school's "gala" on Saturday evening--- It's a Sticks mirror...and this picture doesn't even capture the richness in color...a really neat piece! It's a great family mirror...and a cheerful welcoming sp0t in our entryway!

a quick note...

Hello!!!
I mentioned in my last post that I would have a "shop update" on Tuesday....I will have to postpone it until tomorrow. My husband and I are co-chairing a big school fundraiser/gala this weekend and the last minute meetings and details are endless! (You can check out our event here!) I will add a few goodies to my shop tomorrow, and each day during the rest of the week...so don't forget to check back!
(some vintage birds I found last weekend at a little vintage shop!)
Have a great evening!
