Help me Rhonda

So I have a problem. I have been thinking and thinking and thinking for weeks and weeks and weeks to try to come up with a new name for my etsy shop. Here are some names I have come up with:
-The Fanciful Squirrel
-The Deliberate Squirrel (Donavan's idea)
-Raindrops on Ribbons
-Prissy Gal
As you can see, I need your help. Check out my shop here then leave me a comment with your idea for a new name. If I choose the name you suggest, you have your choice between either a "Last Fling Before the Ring" or a "Birthday Girl" prize button.
Ok.........GO!

Another Fan Pic! Go PB&J!

I made these little onesies for my cousin Bradley and his wife Ashley. They had twins about a month ago and she sent me a pic of them in them today. They are the cutest little guys. My day is officially complete.

A Pirate's Life for Me?

No way jose but these little Crocs are just too darn cute.
I bet my nephew would look suuuuuuuuuper cute in them. I am normally not a Croc fan but just this once, I have to say that these are pretty adorable.

Who could resist this face?

While browsing the dairy aisle yesterday I came upon a pleasant little surprise. Right there next to my usual not-very-aesthetically-appealing box of soy milk was the newly branded box! I'm sure Donavan was amused by exactly how excited this made me. I ended up buying 2 boxes instead of my normal 1. A well designed package always makes me more excited about the product and so proud of the company for taking the time to put something pretty into this world. Thanks 8th Continent!

Fired up for the 4th!

Donavan and I are headed to Eureka Springs again this year to celebrate our anniversary and our country's independence. We are staying in a tree house again. I know I have mentioned before but they are truly amazing. It is essentially a little log cabin on stilts. You're surrounded by trees and squirrels. On Sunday we're going to the same Champagne Brunch we went to last year for all you can eat strawberries with chocolate dip (for me) and all the meat you can imagine (for Donavan). Saw this fun inspiration board and it reminded me how much I love summer:)

Cool Caravans

Oh my goodness. When I found out about this book My Cool Caravan by Jane Field-Lewis & Chris Haddon over here I nearly fell out of my seat. You see, ever since I saw these pics in my mother's 1996 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book I have dreamed of owning a tiny airstream trailer that I could customize the interior for. It pretty much the same sort of dream I have always had for on of those retro VW vans. In recent years I have seen pics on blogs and in magazines where people got an airstream to put in their backyard to use as an office/guest quarters.
Take a peek at some other work by the photographer, Hilary Walker, here. I seriously think I could live in any of these pics.

Lindsay in wedges?

I certainly am not one for heels but I am strangely attracted to these. I saw them in navy stripes on someone's blog the other day and it was really the first time I think I could say, "Man, those Tom's shoes are cuuuuuute!" They are always great because they are for such a good cause but I have never particularly liked the way they looked before. Way to go Tom's- being all trendy and whatnot.

365 Days of Love (letters)

So back in February, the day after Valentine's Day to be exact, I started a personal project. I made a pact with myself to send 365 letters this year. The letters can be to people I know, people I admire, people I haven't talked to in forever, people I talk to every day, etc. The point of the project being that I know how I feel when I discover a handwritten letter from someone in my mailbox. It's like a little hug waiting there for you to come find it. To me, there is just nothing like that feeling. Letters have been a life-long passion of mine and in recent years I have to admit, I have slacked on my correspondence. This project is to keep me accountable to myself to let at least one person each day know that I am thinking of them. My goal is to start a separate blog to chronicle the project. Here are some pics of the little gems that have made their way through the mail so far:
