Wahoo! Back to School!


I can't believe Luke is a big 7th grader today! He was so funny this morning when he left with dad for school. He was not so hot on mom taking "first day of school" photos.......I made him do the same o'l poses....show me your new backpack, smile, pose with the dog....he is on the verge of being too cool for that. Then again, he is dang lucky I didn't follow him to school and take pictures of him opening his locker, posing by the North Albany Middle School sign, and standing with his first period teacher! I know where to draw the line! Ha!
Emma has her kindergarten "interview" tomorrow and then starts next Monday! Watch out! She is sooooo ready!
I am so glad to finally get back in a routine. Here is a picture of me riding my frog to work with my cute hat on!

Adorable new stuff.....


Ok, I know it is a hair early but these little cuties are so fun. They crack me up with their skinny little legs and funny expresions. They wont last long so I decided to put them out on the mantel now.....no worries, the rest of the shop is still Summer....I am not totally ready to be done with long summer days. I am just ready to decorate for a new occasion...








Christmas decor is pouring thru the doors everyday. The UPS man and I are getting sick of each other....ha ha. I have been trying to organize it and get it ready for its big debut! Wait until you see some of the goodies I have collected this year! Amazing stuff! Come check out our new furniture pieces too!!!

Wedded Bliss!







Uh, are they the cutest or what? The wedding was absolutely spectacular. No detail was missed and the party was a blast! They got married in the neighbors beautiful yard and the reception moved to my sisters house that sits on acres and acres of Filbert trees.... gorgeous! Emma was a beautiful flower girl and was so adorable taking her job very seriously.
Uh, yes, I am freaking out about framing these beautiful photos!!!!!

the Golden Pear ENGRAVES!(pretty much everything we can get our hands on!)

Lets be clear, this was a hard picture to take....lots of glare and not easy to get the little monogram....BUT trust me, it is gorgeous! It has a monogram with the bride and groom's first initial on either side and the wedding date below. We did a set of 8 of these for the toast for my niece's wedding this weekend. She doesn't know yet so it will be a nice surprise...plus she will love these forever. Oh, and I had a martini glass made for her bachelorette party with "Future Mrs. Swan" on the side and "Bottoms up Jessica!" engraved on the bottom of the glass...how cute will she be drinking out of that? Plus they are only $8! Super cute!
Ok, lame photo I know, I had a hard time getting a clear pic of the champagne glass without glare...here it is upclose....uh, hello, something the bride and groom are going to have for like, forever! Plus we can engrave the actual champagne bottle and this super cool champagne glass holder that goes over the neck of the champagne bottle with the date, a sweet saying, their names, whatever you want.....adorable!

Ok, this invitation is done on corian but can also be done on a tile, travertine, wood, marble, granite....pretty much anything you can think of. You can bring me an invitation and I can scan it in to the machine and it will engrave it on that surface......how cool is that?


Is this spectacular or what? Love this custom gift for a wedding, anniversary or for anyone who digs personalized gifts that have meaning from the heart. It looks so great on a wrought iron easel. The outer edge reads, "Our family is a circle of strength and love, every joy shared adds more love with every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger."



Ok, so I don't really have a desk type job but it I did I would totally display my name as like a CEO of some super important company on this little rosewood beauty. Very classy....very cool for someone with a new job! Any font, any logo, anything you want....$26.95




I know this super cute monogram sign looks like something we have been doing for years but it's not...nope, totally new. It is actually engraved and painted instead of using stickers. Just wanted you to see some of the great things the new engraving machine can do......which is pretty much anything. No curling stickers, display this little number on your patio without worry!








Of course we got it with framing in mind, think etched glass and mirrors, frames with engraved dates in the wood, or pretty much anything you can think of....
