*** chenille burp cloth clearance! ***

i'm discontinuing the chenille burp cloths (there are other products i want to focus on more) and they are all on sale for only $3 each! (they were $5.50) there are only 13 left (i had 18 this morning) and they are ready-to-ship and oh so cute! :)

(coming soon...the pocket mirrors will finally be listed as well as some new pretty earrings...)

the fantastic mr. fox!

go rent this movie. i promise, you won't regret it. i finally saw it this christmas weekend and it was one of the most enjoyable movies i've EVER SEEN. everything about it is perfect: the stop-motion, the voices, the funny parts, the music, the colors - i really can't say enough about how much i liked this movie.

it was directed by wes anderson and it really reminded me alot of the royall tenenbaums (his movie) + ocean's 11 (not his movie, but has george clooney who is mr. fox) - a dysfunctional family with a trouble-making patriarch and a cool-headed matriarch + a "mad caper" (stealing food from the 3 farmers).

la la loved it. go see it.

five friday favorites: blogs i stalk

there are many more blogs i stalk, of course, but these are currently my top 5 (in no particular order):

steoffrey: a new mom and dad with their cute baby and they're photographers. love their cute home videos.
bleubird: she runs an online vintage shop and is mom to 3 kids. love her photos + outfits.

a beautiful mess: exactly what it says in her header "fashion, handmade and pretty things". very inspirational blog to crafters like me.

the rockstar diaries: super cute almost-parents, her clothes are amazing and i love her photos. it's just a personal blog but so interesting!

and of course, the nienie dialogues: (i think everyone knows this already but...) mom of 4 who was in a plane crash and survived but with severe burns all over her body. one of the more inspirational blogs that actually makes me cry.

there you have it! i hope one or two of them are new to you, i love discovering a new blog with pretty photos and interesting lives. too creepy? nah, i know you do it, too. :)
