I swear you blink, and life has passed another year. I obviously haven't kept up with my craft blogging, and I wish I still had time to do so, but with my company doing newborn props and life in general, there is really no time left. We moved into our new home about a year and a half ago, and there is a tiny 8x10 (really 8x8 of usable space) room next to the master that works perfectly as a nursery. So about 5 months pregnant with baby girl #2, I started. Hubby helped me pick out the fabric, which was fun. We orignally thought we might have a boy, and I bought a cute little fox bonnet because I wanted a woodland styled boy nursery. When we were surprised that #2 was a girl, hubby still wanted to use the fox and orange theme through out it, so we went with it! It might be that she is a spring baby, but her nursery is way more bright/colorful than #1's. (See #1's nursery <a href="http://rosyredbuttons.blogspot.com/2011/01/nursery.html">here</a>.) So without further ado, our sweet baby girl's nursery. </div>

The second image is from the previous owner of the house, the third is from when we turned it into #1's nursery after moving in. #1 was not there for long though, she got moved into the bigger bedroom, and was soon converted to her big girl room. The paint we used was Silver Birch by Glidden, still one of my favorite colors. The room then sat empty for a while with a desk and a couch. </div>

Because we wanted to use a lot of bright colors, I went with a very soft oatmeal color for the paint. I also wanted it to have a slight modern feel, so we used just paint and decor to bring in the colors and elements. I went on the search for nursery prints on Etsy and found <a href="http://www.trafalgarssquare.com/">these</a> that I fell in love with from Kit Chase. I made the little doll that now displays the bonnet that we bought that sort of started the whole theme. While small, the room fits cozily the big three, so I'm excited to have it. </div>

The camera kind of made the colors wonky in some of these, the rug is a teal/mint dusty color, not the green it shows. LOL. The blurring on the wall is where her name and letter is, which we haven't quite announced. (Well if we announce that name anyway, she may come out something else! LOL) The dresser is the one from #1's nursery. We took out all the hardware, filled all the holes and drilled new ones. We put in new hardware and I also painted a chevron pattern across the top. Most of the decor is DIY, but the frames, rug, bottles and little hook board are from Hobby Lobby, as well as the bird. A few frames from IKEA. Glider is from Babysrus, pouf and pillow were DIY. Ruffled quilt is also DIY. </div>

All bedding was made by me, which was a fun project. Foxes are from IKEA. (If I hear, what does the fox say, I may go into prego rage and punch a wall. Or that person in the face. Just saying. hahaha) Frames are all waiting for her newborn session. :) </div>

Uh, it's been a while. Forever really. I have no excuses. Life happened. Over and over. Life has been so good for us! We moved in September, and love our home. I hope to get a house tour up with all the neutral, organic decor. It's soothing and I love it. I have been insanely busy with my company <a href="http://avonlicottage.bigcarte.com/">Avonli Cottage</a>. I get spoiled in being able to work doing something I adore. Making photography props for newborns is SO fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My <a href="http://facebook.com/avonlicottage">facebook page</a> is where I post all the latest work, but it's stuff like this:</div>

And I'm still having a hard time believing it. Ok, maybe not THAT much since Sept, since the first pic is from when she was like 9 months, but still. Nuts. She is a crazy fireball of a two year old now, and I wonder how most people survive this stage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We recently converted her room to a 'big girl' toddler room, and decided that since the rest of the house is all neutrals, her room should have some colors so she at least knows they exist. ;)</div>

It was my first time quilting, but if you don't look too close at the binding, then it gets an A+. :) I'll get some more pics and the house tour up soon....ish. You know me, I'm awesome like that.</div>

Aren't they scrumptious little babies??? Many of you know that I dabbled in newborn photography for a while, but what I really loved was all the beautiful props and images that resulted. I then decided to use my love of sewing and start to make those props for the images. And it has been a crazy ride! You can find more of what it is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/avonlicottage">here</a>. I have been absolutely blessed to be able to work at home and do something I just love in addition to raising our darling little. (Who is now 19 months! So crazy!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT, we just bought a new home! We'll be renting out our current property, so we'll get to make the transition pretty smoothly. And I get to decorate, and paint, etc, etc all over again! Yay? Yay! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I will be posted a lot of before and after as we make our new home into my french country cottage I always wanted. :) </div>

In the process of doing said studio, I knew I needed to have some of my work displayed, but I wanted it done in a less traditional way than I've seen. So I had some images printed off in 8x10's. You can do whatever size you want really. I then went to Walmart and bought different varieties of canvas- some stretched, some just the straight.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbiaYYwAvM4X09aZKUdwdEfdSCjkhHQ3KWtM0tqrg6XOR9ZlRsmEgYzDXj6waYzTE6G-izJF_8WtkS3I8FJq1LFWxdLZMwaK6nbZbtu6VMi_OTGlTy-qLY097pw2JN2oNYW82wsnN7ZO0/s1600/burlap2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbiaYYwAvM4X09aZKUdwdEfdSCjkhHQ3KWtM0tqrg6XOR9ZlRsmEgYzDXj6waYzTE6G-izJF_8WtkS3I8FJq1LFWxdLZMwaK6nbZbtu6VMi_OTGlTy-qLY097pw2JN2oNYW82wsnN7ZO0/s1600/burlap2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> On the stretched ones I just painted the sides. The staples look uber ghetto, but they work. I could have taken more time and really cared about them, but I am just not that kind of girl.

I put them up on the wall, but decided the straight out staples were a little too ghetto, even for me. I didn't want to paint them. So I though, I love ruffles, and I love burlap, so voila, a project was born. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeTZKRo0_9d8aEzVWi30smjZZnKEz6d_WulnANa0MuaGCOLBis8dIg6YgRjEe-QyCXMsO4suz3nVDn-M4uOAigTYlgVcd1r0GCO5aXA8d0BVO0ZLCNCh6CgOoV1ijhCS_RyXEuT5U6Nj8/s1600/burlap5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeTZKRo0_9d8aEzVWi30smjZZnKEz6d_WulnANa0MuaGCOLBis8dIg6YgRjEe-QyCXMsO4suz3nVDn-M4uOAigTYlgVcd1r0GCO5aXA8d0BVO0ZLCNCh6CgOoV1ijhCS_RyXEuT5U6Nj8/s1600/burlap5.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I cut strips of burlap to go around the frame from scraps I already had.

No sewing required. Then when my husband got done <strike>playing starcraft </strike>doing his masters homework, he came to help. I took this picture to have proof that he did.

My little is on the left, I can't believe how big she is getting! For the flat canvas' I just hot glued some hemp string on the back on each corner to hang.

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a lot of fun with my project this month. I love the boho look that is going around and I love fall, so combining the two was just WONDERFUL. (creepy emphasis included)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saw a crocheted headband a while back that had leafs one after another in it. I liked it, but thought it would be so much cuter if it had some dimension and pattern to it. So I picked out some materials I had in my stock and got to work. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I picked a vintage floral fabric and a dark brown floral fabric. Both were on clearance at Walmart. I stop by that isle every time I'm in there because chances are there will be something great. Walmart really doesn't know whats awesome, so they put it on clearance. I cut a leaf pattern out of it...double sided. Originally I was going to sew the two pieces together wrong sides and flip them right side out. You can do that, but I wanted a more unfinished look to the edges when they wear a bit. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqqpqNVPwEW1RtJ9Plvof6-zyt9GULfYwriOZt6Pb2NB6iPHCJV3NrtJJG70efHYN9RRzz5hXmywORepk3O8hE9kBsnvdEvJ1QUIhSdOjOlVc7Ns4s2WroUnnc0O8dizmXZvXQAffuqTo/s1600/IMG_9744+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqqpqNVPwEW1RtJ9Plvof6-zyt9GULfYwriOZt6Pb2NB6iPHCJV3NrtJJG70efHYN9RRzz5hXmywORepk3O8hE9kBsnvdEvJ1QUIhSdOjOlVc7Ns4s2WroUnnc0O8dizmXZvXQAffuqTo/s1600/IMG_9744+copy.jpg" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Sew a basting stitch through the middle and then gather with bobbin thread. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;">My first one I didn't back stitch at all, but I found it easier to gather them if I back stiched at the top and then left it open to gather at the bottom. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWzu3bv_9pPmdpgPqbwCuMtvPZYeF6my617Gjc9uV5cEsfbKuwXS9vRzGXz-6i0rbcCRcPMirBeWYF5Y-6cep0IpWuhX8Atsp3mq4o7zSlQJZLMHusJLU7Mp1m_RhYA2LNvZGPfPfuBvY/s1600/IMG_9746+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWzu3bv_9pPmdpgPqbwCuMtvPZYeF6my617Gjc9uV5cEsfbKuwXS9vRzGXz-6i0rbcCRcPMirBeWYF5Y-6cep0IpWuhX8Atsp3mq4o7zSlQJZLMHusJLU7Mp1m_RhYA2LNvZGPfPfuBvY/s1600/IMG_9746+copy.jpg" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Sew the ruffle into the leaf permanently, back stitching at both ends now. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAc1Q0tp6qFn07EaelTqg5HcsdkGuL2nI9r9qgVh56RutxVcUA7dHNpCOqKKbTOnXHHwjCWtfQataBrhNJdZrSeBWT7IRJN7ojdGswHWQbRlztqOl-1uBJeLqpAIpyfV9GOR7EC22aQpY/s1600/IMG_9747+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAc1Q0tp6qFn07EaelTqg5HcsdkGuL2nI9r9qgVh56RutxVcUA7dHNpCOqKKbTOnXHHwjCWtfQataBrhNJdZrSeBWT7IRJN7ojdGswHWQbRlztqOl-1uBJeLqpAIpyfV9GOR7EC22aQpY/s1600/IMG_9747+copy.jpg" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> And here you have some very lovely ruffled leaves. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2GuMEeApB3cWP1VR2kQDeOULxmkLJxt1VsRNcqhAeJSDG0Ur4slcm71rj0CfLLhYvoZLrkV5y2n3lsVcy8S7WKZRarJtjon9Cvxqn6aT04bVkX64qlhMMNwWVCrkJ9zSPzFLCqcTXl8M/s1600/IMG_9749+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2GuMEeApB3cWP1VR2kQDeOULxmkLJxt1VsRNcqhAeJSDG0Ur4slcm71rj0CfLLhYvoZLrkV5y2n3lsVcy8S7WKZRarJtjon9Cvxqn6aT04bVkX64qlhMMNwWVCrkJ9zSPzFLCqcTXl8M/s1600/IMG_9749+copy.jpg" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I had some cream elastic lying around so I measured it around my own head.

What is this? An actual craft project? Seriously? I know I'm a slacker. BUT super excited for POV! I'm not going to lie, I struggled with the theme this month. I don't have any kids school age. I do have one husband who is returning to school this fall for his Masters, (holla) but I didn't think teaching how to make a big steak dinner was a good way to coordinate for the 'back to school' theme. Then I remembered I had friends who taught school, and how much they would love a little gift. So instead I enlisted the help of my awesome graphic designer friend Annie, aka <a href="http://hairyshoefairy.com/">Hairy Shoe Fairy</a> (not hairy, not a shoe) to help me come up with something incredible in the tag department. Because hey, who doesn't love gifts? So Annie did not disappoint. Look how cute it is:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Have a great weekend!! </div>Camilla http://www.blogger.com/profile/16226950810322412876noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107808934701707386.post-8580012417946555602011-08-12T12:52:00.000-07:002011-08-12T12:52:17.941-07:00oh....help.<div style="text-align: center;">Yes, it's been a month over a month since my last post. And yes, I'm the biggest slacker. Kind of...</div><div style="text-align: center;">And yes, this post isn't necessarily crafty. But read it anyway or you can't leave my blog. Serious...the browser won't let you. Maybe.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I seriously don't know how other blogger moms and professionals do it. I seem to be drowning in my 'to do' list, and I feel seriously lame that I can't keep up with the things I used to. I have cut back permanently on my wedding shoots, sure that would give me extra time. It hasn't. Yet.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I guess my question is how do you do it? I want to do EVERYTHING but can't seem to find the time for anything. I feel guilty if I spend too much time on the computer; I feel like I am not spending enough time nurturing my daughter.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Button has this sort of squishy face that she has begun to use, which at times is hilarious and at times is kind of gargoyle looking. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8h9w1zU0IWvXs3Nng_Ed7Q18sUK7qKl9yzLzXHU63AtHiwzvNqx08J2Us4hEMl6FxGnr6eRXb4h8KBN0UVWa_lkLMx7yAdCfUKFV2-oIYnNKvhBNcdtE-avniJnGwl1RauuDXmigA5k/s1600/482px-GorgoyleSharp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8h9w1zU0IWvXs3Nng_Ed7Q18sUK7qKl9yzLzXHU63AtHiwzvNqx08J2Us4hEMl6FxGnr6eRXb4h8KBN0UVWa_lkLMx7yAdCfUKFV2-oIYnNKvhBNcdtE-avniJnGwl1RauuDXmigA5k/s640/482px-GorgoyleSharp.jpg" width="513" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yep, that's the one.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I assumed she got it from my husband, but I looked in the mirror when she and I were playing in front of it laughing, and realized the face came from me. Rather than be depressed that I suddenly realized I looked like a 1st century statue while happy, I was really overjoyed that something I did was rubbing off on her. Then I was kind of panicked that some of my other less desirable personality traits might be being absorbed. I've since made sure that I control myself when I have sudden urges to be crazy. I am fearful of the day that she can talk, while I don't swear or anything like that, I'm not sure 'awesome' should be used as every other word.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I realize that I know very little about parenting. Button has already face planted thrice (hard) because apparently she 'moves'. She also thinks its hilarious to spit out every bit of pureed food that makes it into her mouth, all over me. She thinks its hilarious because rather than stopping her, I can't stop myself from laughing. She has been taught to raise one eyebrow in a 'How YOU doin' sort of manner. Because it's funny. She gets left at the in laws from time to time because I think taking a baby on vacation or to necessary gatherings is equivalent to pushing bamboo shoots up my fingernails. She is in a diaper most of the day, and usually doesn't get dressed unless its completely necessary we go somewhere. In fact, that kind of goes for me too. Minus the diaper.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">BUT, she knows she's loved. And she is. More than I can even express. I never thought motherhood would be like it is. I never thought I'd ever grow so attached to something so gross at times. I never thought a simple giggle could make me happier than an all inclusive trip to the Bahamas. I never thought I could miss something so little so much when I'm away. I never thought that I'd be content laying on my stomach blowing raspberries on hers. I never though I could even do it: be a mother.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But I am. And while I epically fail so many times, the important thing is that I just keep going. I may never do anything perfectly, but I'm perfect at attempting. I look up to so many women who have done so much- many who are stay at home moms, many who are work at home or outside of home moms, many who aren't 'moms' at all. I think that whatever we can or can't do doesn't define us. I believe that it's who we are, who we are attempting to be that does.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I know that there are many trials or problems that we have to overcome, many things that maybe we feel like we can't. Sometimes we feel judged, sometimes we feel overwhelmed, sometimes we feel like we are on top of everything one day and the next we fall off the wagon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Regardless of who you are or what you aren't, know that you are loved. By family, by friends, but most importantly by God. You are important, no matter how low you feel at times.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyways, forgive my ramblings. And forgive my lack of creative blogging. I promise I have been working on things.....ish. I recently redecorated and 'flipped' my parents camper (heck yea baby), made a bajillion headbands for Newborn shoots, and have recently been trying to sew, like really sew. Now that my business is slowing down, I'll finally be able to really start blogging again. So stay tuned! hahaha, please? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Until then here are some squishy and oh so adorable newborns (and headbands) to keep you company. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I found this darling old bread box at the Salvation Army for $4. I LOVE that store.<br />

(On a side note, aren't those vintage desks fun? Found at a yard sale! You can see them in action <a href="http://www.ciocophotography.com/800/">here</a>) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhNmsf3xDWOqcUcE5Pg3_aQLtYKLKR2RTaX45T4pYuhC4BYVpcOhJEf14Nu8ThVi8XfLaFVdCwXiNAayzaoMuHmLoqrPzP33fQInNGrrskLlTGN4gcAMt3eS1xiv6S_WK-KKryY2662IQ/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhNmsf3xDWOqcUcE5Pg3_aQLtYKLKR2RTaX45T4pYuhC4BYVpcOhJEf14Nu8ThVi8XfLaFVdCwXiNAayzaoMuHmLoqrPzP33fQInNGrrskLlTGN4gcAMt3eS1xiv6S_WK-KKryY2662IQ/s1600/2.jpg" /></a></div> The inside also smelled pretty bad, but hey, it was at a thrift store. <br />

I then used Krylon satin spray paint in ivory and gave it a couple of coats. It's wood is a bit weathered because <strike>I leave furniture out in the rain all the time</strike> it's old, and I could have fixed that with a power sander. However I like the look of slightly weathered wood and little cracks, so I left it. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZgXVBm1WgGKmWh2nQcjhENKOdG7FRkVHm0d4AQN-KMiJlNtYqakKjDqludDtws5f8cNlxuAnY7CZh05RXIolRKDFNukH_XZjVwioF0b23GvlEe6NYm1i59ZPciEefDNxaRmnRjabs2D4/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZgXVBm1WgGKmWh2nQcjhENKOdG7FRkVHm0d4AQN-KMiJlNtYqakKjDqludDtws5f8cNlxuAnY7CZh05RXIolRKDFNukH_XZjVwioF0b23GvlEe6NYm1i59ZPciEefDNxaRmnRjabs2D4/s1600/4.jpg" /></a></div> I also wanted to give it a light glazing, and I heard you could do that with acrylic paint. So I mixed a little of these two with water. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkD9BXoOrxWgAVR6RHLDEqJ-CiU1QUE7wxBkqS3gEX-HauDsu7d4Keq8xWK_mhn1z8_dfW9aSfHIuviujifiIrJX0e3nJQMssJaJO7xXWGzq1eADdIyVVXc51uK5YQ4pSkibZSrM_d3A/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkD9BXoOrxWgAVR6RHLDEqJ-CiU1QUE7wxBkqS3gEX-HauDsu7d4Keq8xWK_mhn1z8_dfW9aSfHIuviujifiIrJX0e3nJQMssJaJO7xXWGzq1eADdIyVVXc51uK5YQ4pSkibZSrM_d3A/s1600/5.jpg" /></a></div> I painted on where I wanted the darker streaks, then I just wiped off with a dry cloth. Then repeated. <br />

I need one of those. Bad. Ok, maybe not need, but I figure my wants are pretty close in importance. :) <br />

Here she sits snuggled next to my stove. However we don't eat a lot of bread in my little family, like none, so the whole purpose of this little box was not for bread. Instead...<br />

<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">... I finally have a 'shelf' for my cookbooks! Their previous location required a little bit of being a trapeze artist to get, so I'm glad they are within 2 ft of my cooking area now. (And don't laugh because I only have two, my husband will certify I am pretty good when I cook. Which is like never. But when I do, I'll need those two pretties!)</div><br />

I was contacted by <a href="http://www.antiquelampsupply.com/index.php">Antique Lamp Supply</a> to review one of their products of my choice. Antique Lamp Supply was started by antique dealers Lawson, Pauline and Paul Barnes in the early 1950's. Their beautiful replicas are even used in both movie and T.V. prodcutions. They have the most extensive, complete line of quality restoration parts for lamps in America. I had a lot of fun perusing their site and picked the <a href="http://www.antiquelampsupply.com/product/146_small-banquet-lamp-with-antique-brass-finish">Small Banquet Lamp with Shade</a>. I couldn't wait for it to get here! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWLacF5sLH0-uTNPE4zSBDVNoJu7mKHlshadkuGO5KjfV40nGqiyQ_1Lba3_NLNGeTcPziBeVyzNIggYIoybHevyrFNqx7Sbynkn-9IfUy9fy8mtWvoFdMCNmCsbStjykT2umIfBrWW-c/s1600/l2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWLacF5sLH0-uTNPE4zSBDVNoJu7mKHlshadkuGO5KjfV40nGqiyQ_1Lba3_NLNGeTcPziBeVyzNIggYIoybHevyrFNqx7Sbynkn-9IfUy9fy8mtWvoFdMCNmCsbStjykT2umIfBrWW-c/s1600/l2.jpg" /></a></div> They sent me the lamp as well as the <a href="http://www.antiquelampsupply.com/product/3690_edison-base-squirel-cage-light-bulb">Edison Bulb</a>. The lamp was well packaged and came without any cracks or problems, which is great because the shade is a satin pink hand blown glass shade. It's gorgeous.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6sFZR5KOXkk2Fnv6Rhm9vPNDQELZFUlSJzUJFbxWtOfGLi2YKYGLS4sadUH3oFzIGLmjROYRCH6exVMeHY9z2Q3dXJ52VsM3G_wl7NubNBA6Bw9LLyHU1okpOCCw8R9Vez3fJNoSjYL0/s1600/l3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6sFZR5KOXkk2Fnv6Rhm9vPNDQELZFUlSJzUJFbxWtOfGLi2YKYGLS4sadUH3oFzIGLmjROYRCH6exVMeHY9z2Q3dXJ52VsM3G_wl7NubNBA6Bw9LLyHU1okpOCCw8R9Vez3fJNoSjYL0/s1600/l3.jpg" /></a></div> The first thing that surprised me was the<a href="http://www.antiquelampsupply.com/product/146_small-banquet-lamp-with-antique-brass-finish"> base</a>. It's actually quite heavy being made of brass. It's very sturdy and well made. The ornate mold design is just beautiful.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Uu1vMHApgTCWr7uO6bbFOS214dpaMcn_zhp5lHrTnhfwvXTqSS5JxgiDuz4xmASa6CYLcxgJxha8Fuu4ugWVCdTCVAVA-Kn2ActJOzbxEMqet99aY1ocVWTIEQndmcAz-W8SszKCexI/s1600/l4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Uu1vMHApgTCWr7uO6bbFOS214dpaMcn_zhp5lHrTnhfwvXTqSS5JxgiDuz4xmASa6CYLcxgJxha8Fuu4ugWVCdTCVAVA-Kn2ActJOzbxEMqet99aY1ocVWTIEQndmcAz-W8SszKCexI/s1600/l4.jpg" /></a></div> The shade is hand blown, made with a pie crust crimped edge. I loved it when I saw it on the site, and love it in person as well. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1rHRpgeRXYfKY7Pp821b2x7dSt5NEGqmL9dg-W-kiUpTMAJN6R3I_ZHlvolHct-EoJmZZ1SSgUJB-16RfrRGJgdU_t6wxwd7kI7LXD4ztD_5qrpAFUCmzERzb5JC8Ahfud89kaA0iPHE/s1600/l5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1rHRpgeRXYfKY7Pp821b2x7dSt5NEGqmL9dg-W-kiUpTMAJN6R3I_ZHlvolHct-EoJmZZ1SSgUJB-16RfrRGJgdU_t6wxwd7kI7LXD4ztD_5qrpAFUCmzERzb5JC8Ahfud89kaA0iPHE/s1600/l5.jpg" /></a></div> My bedroom has a vintage theme, and the<a href="http://www.antiquelampsupply.com/product/146_small-banquet-lamp-with-antique-brass-finish"> lamp</a> works great in there. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfAZRA7K8jFZAc4pROxIgxaiPWZRHmgKiMJHIvRxZyjG6zLDqhbW5OSsPOovzjMuBCWURiohnLWx5XBlbWVaU1JKoInQtFq0C6vJFhOSw1APt_wRDu8rcqr1u-BJTirsjNhbbSgp02tNs/s1600/l6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfAZRA7K8jFZAc4pROxIgxaiPWZRHmgKiMJHIvRxZyjG6zLDqhbW5OSsPOovzjMuBCWURiohnLWx5XBlbWVaU1JKoInQtFq0C6vJFhOSw1APt_wRDu8rcqr1u-BJTirsjNhbbSgp02tNs/s1600/l6.jpg" /></a></div> Again, I just love the design.<br />

The satin finish is really beautiful. It reminds me of one of the lamps in Pride and Prejudice. When I get my dream French Country house, this is coming with me. :) <br />

We would pin them to the wall and then rip them off as the days counted down. It was the best ever, mostly because summer was coming. I thought a more permanent advent calender would be super fun to make with and for your kids. The best part is that this advent calender can be interchanged with the holidays! Or the family vacations! Or the day you get to be an empty nester! I know how I was as a teenager, it's ok to feel like that. ;)<br />

I was shopping with Jonie from <a href="http://easyascutandpaste.blogspot.com/">Just Between Friends</a> and we came across a pair. Months ago. I think I was still pregnant. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMfqqF37duv3drz09q4dqW-ZkjQTwwbRl2VDhCMt6p_dSV8Uq9b3p5tuT97DBcjwp7KZyS247h7fr06ulj2i8-mjvXzRW3Xs_M22tW4Dd7rhzNfYxT26CQ3NRnPNUi5hKwN708wnjAtMA/s1600/a2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMfqqF37duv3drz09q4dqW-ZkjQTwwbRl2VDhCMt6p_dSV8Uq9b3p5tuT97DBcjwp7KZyS247h7fr06ulj2i8-mjvXzRW3Xs_M22tW4Dd7rhzNfYxT26CQ3NRnPNUi5hKwN708wnjAtMA/s1600/a2.jpg" /></a></div> I knew I wanted 30 countdown days so I measured the board and made small marks where the nails would go.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHRKxO8ZpIMnjPasoRvIcwoVHZRbrbDyhmb_M8gzU-SHFCuA7Wg8IyD7FwDJRvi3KASZnEZRn-MltIOXlexqDJc0NwsTvVL8EDKLYMs_a_W-saOfCvTaxeWcwKD6oh2_R5kbOXDwKdPAE/s1600/a3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHRKxO8ZpIMnjPasoRvIcwoVHZRbrbDyhmb_M8gzU-SHFCuA7Wg8IyD7FwDJRvi3KASZnEZRn-MltIOXlexqDJc0NwsTvVL8EDKLYMs_a_W-saOfCvTaxeWcwKD6oh2_R5kbOXDwKdPAE/s1600/a3.jpg" /></a></div> I used small nails and nailed them into the board. <br />

The labels are in the office department, the tape in the crafts. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisvkcX_Rk8rFxwQKtHOnUKGqMP5ZPtaR16nO529GtRqUyZaqsSKeU_7E3LVmUMg4_9J1OaJh28E7i43_cVHJv8UFJMISqW6MChTioTgerQw5c9yGlJjlxIMs8mMtb-9uBdBXdh6ivbFAA/s1600/a5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisvkcX_Rk8rFxwQKtHOnUKGqMP5ZPtaR16nO529GtRqUyZaqsSKeU_7E3LVmUMg4_9J1OaJh28E7i43_cVHJv8UFJMISqW6MChTioTgerQw5c9yGlJjlxIMs8mMtb-9uBdBXdh6ivbFAA/s1600/a5.jpg" /></a></div> Then I awarded myself the 'Mother of the Year' award as my poor neglected baby fed herself and I crafted. At least she's learned to hold the bottle alone, that's teaching right?? Right??<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzEJ_PK51Ha3AhOFdnRdTBJCPFnTfSwhuu-2-sEQFpdvCT9PgPQ0fFbXyd4TfGB1iRDZHV6kExfIpJbtT5XILPu7flPiG63bMjd5r5lUVwlbxVGinBltS7Flz-ebHnssU3P7OATEsQtCg/s1600/a6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzEJ_PK51Ha3AhOFdnRdTBJCPFnTfSwhuu-2-sEQFpdvCT9PgPQ0fFbXyd4TfGB1iRDZHV6kExfIpJbtT5XILPu7flPiG63bMjd5r5lUVwlbxVGinBltS7Flz-ebHnssU3P7OATEsQtCg/s1600/a6.jpg" /></a></div> I left a space on the top of the board for the interchangeable holiday sign. You can make the board vertical or horizontal or square, really whatever you want works. I added the magnetic strips to the board. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5CXmnBlhGxNgleMQAVTaXsMbIBIgvB2iQh6YKBTZlV7Yj76IqlVjRrr40FUtgh5iFhvwIciHh9Z4hwslj6ip9uCdPslfJPnTO3k6nUl6Cr6LvebFm-jnUrNXqNV-0j9GBDX5nKCaTayI/s1600/a7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5CXmnBlhGxNgleMQAVTaXsMbIBIgvB2iQh6YKBTZlV7Yj76IqlVjRrr40FUtgh5iFhvwIciHh9Z4hwslj6ip9uCdPslfJPnTO3k6nUl6Cr6LvebFm-jnUrNXqNV-0j9GBDX5nKCaTayI/s1600/a7.jpg" /></a></div> Then I put them on the little sign so it would stick. <br />

I got the scrapbook paper at Sam's Club. I just glued the flowers to the front of the labels so they are hidden.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUcj10luvklh2cLa4IiPnirZRlre5Bc51vsZ8k0w3ac5ToLaGBbT0XNq7Z8s4AH6wIIKHOXMkeGlU-jfaG5ooitSCk49O4cOpEciDQeRen4hGUnFYYAK7lyQbAbrrU-TCGHRltjXiP4oo/s1600/a8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUcj10luvklh2cLa4IiPnirZRlre5Bc51vsZ8k0w3ac5ToLaGBbT0XNq7Z8s4AH6wIIKHOXMkeGlU-jfaG5ooitSCk49O4cOpEciDQeRen4hGUnFYYAK7lyQbAbrrU-TCGHRltjXiP4oo/s1600/a8.jpg" /></a></div> On the back of the labels I wrote what I assume might be good things for kids school age. I don't really know, and that was WAY too long ago for me to remember what I liked back then. It gives them a fun treat each day, much like an advent calender for Christmas would be. <br />

I'm not that cool, so I just printed them on the computer and cut them out ghetto style. It's how we roll. <br />
