Houses and Weddings and Bears, Oh My!

Sorry I have been away so long. I just got back from visiting my family for Christmas! I missed Christmas day with them but this way was much better because we weren't so rushed and there was real quality time. While I was home we took care of some wedding things. It's a little stressful but fun, too. I can't wait for the big day. I'm trying my best not to be a Bridezilla but there are definitely a few things I would like to see played out exactly right.
We registered for some of our gifts. I picked out Fiesta dishes! I love how they have a vintage feel. Click here for some great info on Fiestaware.

So, on top of all the wedding day adventures my beau and I are also looking for a new home. The image above is not a home we are looking at, it is just one I admire when I google "bungalows." A bungalow would be my dreamy dream home but unfortunately there are only a few on the market around here and they have not been great at all on the inside. Did you know finding a home is so stressful?! Especially considering we are trying to find a home where we can raise a family. When I look at houses I have to picture myself with two teenagers driving me crazy. I need space! They need space! Who are these people and why are they making house-hunting so hard??!

That's what I am up to. In the few minutes of alone time I had yesterday I got into my studio. It's been a mess because of the holidays. I was spray painting jar lids like crazy trying to get gifts made. I didn't want to waste my time cleaning up so I watercolored in the middle of the madness.

Today I am back to work and couldn't be happier. Sorry this post was way wordy and less picture-y. Next time more candies for your eyes!

Good Read

The past few days have been really busy and a little bit stressful but my boyfriend and I just signed a lease on a house that will be ours ours ours. I'm so excited to finally have a place. It's a really cute two story white house with a big back yard that's perfect for gardening. Now I just need to find one of those pesky jobs so I can afford it...
In the meantime I discovered this amazing anthology by Nicole Georges. Maybe you all know her already, I sometimes tend to be the last to know about someone, but she is quite spectacular and has a great sense of humor when creating her stylish zines. I got the Invincible Summer volume 2 at Quimbys. I've been trying to read it very slowly because I want to savor it. Since I've been feeling so down lately this has really inspired me to get up and keep at it. I ordered Volume 1 today from her Etsy shop. All her work in her shop is very cheap and affordable and absolutely darling. Explore her website here and get to know this spectacular artist.
Also! Don't forget (because it's my job not to let you...) Summertime Giveaway here...
