unpredictable.

One thing I've learned the last year is that life is totally unpredictable. I've never been one to plan out my life (ex. In five years I'll be married/have 10 kids/live in mansion) but I wouldn't have imagined a few years ago that I would still be struggling to find work, happily living with my boyfriend and residing in New England.

And once again it's about to change. Evan got a job back in Pennsylvania so at the end of April, I'll be packing up and moving again. At first I was hesitant, after all I love it here -aside from the hours away from friends and family. The ocean, the history, the adorable towns with great shops and restaurants, Boston, etc. are all so inspiring. But sometimes things that you think won't be great...turn out to be wonderful.

So as the big move approaches, I have decided to have a sale! Through the month of April all the things in my shop will be 20% off with my coupon code MOVE1

Please check it out! Not only will you be saving money on some cute things...but you will also be helping me move by lessening the load! :)

i heart winter

So its been a few days since I posted anything, but I have been busy enjoying a lovely white New England winter. I went cross country skiing for the first time this last weekend! I've never been on skis before so it was interesting. I fell down a few times, was sore, but loved being out in the snow. I also took a road trip to Vermont on Sunday with a friend. I had never been to Vermont and have now been to all the New England states. We visited the Ben and Jerry's factory, ate Cabot cheese samples and drank hot cider on the beautiful snowy ride home.

I have to say that I've grown to really love winter over the last few years. There is something fresh and inspiring about it. I think the cold air, bare trees, and the snow really makes you think clearly. I love working on projects in the winter because you basically have to be inside because of the cold, but it's so pretty to look out the window...it makes me want to create pretty things. Plus, I have this weird love of the color grey... which is basically the color scheme of winter!

I finished my project I mentioned earlier, the frame turned necklace holder. However, it didn't turn out as planned. The tacks wouldn't stay in the board, so I use it as a earring holder and it looks great.


Plus I've been updating my Etsy shop with new headbands. I have been thinking about a pretty color scheme of grey (of course), light blush pink, and soft gold for the winter/spring season.

Well thats all for now... I'm planning to enjoy this snowy day and get some projects done!
