this and that

Hey there! I bet you were starting to wonder if I fell of the the face of the earth? Nope I didn't- I'm just trying to adjust to life with a 1 nap a day toddler. She use to take two- during the first one I'd shower and ready myself for the day and during the afternoon nap I'd catch up on blogs and also do a post. So bare with me while I work out the kinks. 

Did I mention she's also begun to prove herself a climber? Yes she's mastered scaling onto the sectional as well as up and down the stairs. In a way it's nice because she can do more for herself but it also scares me to death she's going to go flying down the stairs or end up in a full body cast from throwing herself off the sofa. 

exhibit a: last thursday morning I came out of the kitchen to find this. 
"Lucy how did you get on the sectional?" 


exhibit b: yes that is a random ruler in her hand from lord knows where. this one keeps me on my toes.


so thats a taste of what i've been working with. nothing big but just time for a fresh look at childproofing the house and adjusting our daily routine. Don't get me wrong though it's not all "ugh" stuff.

exhibit c: child labor is awesome!

I've also been adding some things to the etsy shop including this milk glass trio: instant collection. You can view them here. I also added a trio of vintage beakers and I've got a few more things to put up tonight. Can you believe it's already half way through May? I promise I'll get my act together and work out  new system for posting because this is somethings I love so much and I hate to neglect.

flower heaven

I hope everyone had a fabulous and well deserved Mothers Day! We spent time with family and also time outside working in the yard which is what I really enjoy this time of year. Nick and Lucy took me to buy some new plants and I got to plant those as well as move some hostas and ferns around that sprouted up near the creek out back. 

the beautiful flowers that greeted me when I woke up Sunday morning.


peonies are my absolute favorite!


these pretty clippings came from nick's moms home. she help me cut them for my mom but they never quite made it to her house ; )


i picked out this beautiful light pink climbing rose


i wouldn't mind a bit if it took over the entire front facade of the house


i also picked out this pretty clematis


this chimney was hijacked from Nick's parents house, i can't wait to sit around it on nice nights 


some of my transplants


hope you're all off to a beautiful week!

saturday swede swoon

My swedish peeps sure know how to make my heart sing! These images were posted yesterday on Hviturlakkris. If you've never been you should go give her a visit- her blog is amazing! 

















Speaking of Swede's my cousin Linda gave birth to her first child last week. She and her husband named him Wilhem. Congratulations guys! You may recall me blogging about their visit here. I hope they come again soon so we can meet the new baby.
