Cameras!

Love this camera charm and pink digital camera from Juicy Couture!

Tomorrow I'm going to New York City for the day!! I'm excited :)

Please hold off rain/freezing rain/sleet/snow. This is one time I will be thankful for an incorrect forecast. Thanks in advance mother nature!

My new sewing table :)

I don't like to gush about my relationship. And I don't really mean to now, but it's almost impossible not to. I got home from work Friday evening and this was waiting for me.

I've been telling Karim for a while now that I wanted a sewing table for my room. So he went and found an antique sewing table. He got all of the rust off of it, then primed and painted it. Then he made the top from scratch and painted it bright pink. Honestly, it could not be more perfect. I was in complete shock when I saw it. It's probably the most thoughtful gift I've ever gotten. Here are some more pictures :)

The note he left me.

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Lily got her picture taken with Santa on Saturday! See my Flickr page for the picture :)

Hiding!

Has anyone seen Lily?!?

Oh there she is :)

Bazaart

I was lucky enough to get to Bazaart at The American Visionary Art Museum yesterday and it was great! The highlights for me were:

1. Getting amazing vegan baked goods from Brunie's Bakery. The owner is so sweet (no pun intended :)) and the baked goods are seriously out of this world.

2. Finally meeting Lori from Loriola in person

3. Finding this amazing artist. I got four of her greeting cards and

already know I am going to have a hard time parting with them to mail to friends!

Have a great week!

Christmas Gift Ideas

Here are two great shops that I can personally highly recommend for cute and inexpensive Christmas gifts!

Jayne over at Pink Saguaro has added a bunch of cute new items. These are my favorites.

Licorice Candy Stripe Ring

Vintage Pink Sea Urchin Ring

Soda Pop Vintage Ring

Also, MD Sparks has adorable handmade jewelry that is so reasonably priced. I'm planning on stocking up on earrings like these.

Good luck finding the perfect handmade gift :)

Lily

I managed to get a picture of Lily in her snuggie. She sat nicely for approximately 3 seconds and then proceeded to rip it off with her teeth! At least the picture is cute :)

And a picture of her after our 3 hour hike yesterday. That's a long time for those little legs to carry her! But she is such a trooper. She runs through the streams now with no problem, and she was out in front of me even at the end!

Happy Busy Monday!!

Stephanie Potter Photography

On Nov. 7th Karim and I had the pleasure of having our pictures taken by Stephanie Potter (actually now Mrs. Corwin). The pictures are so adorable. Here are my favorites :)

Love, Melis XOXO
