Many thanks to Claudia over at Venerate Blog! She did a super-sweet feature of some of my work and I am so grateful! Check out her adorable, paper-loving blog.

Weird Science

Well, it has been a while! Forgive me. I have been busy partaking in all that the summer has to offer - travel, food, family, housework, etc. It has been lovely.

Alas, all things come to an end; I am returning to the world of the working in a few days - as a 7th grade science teacher! Earth science teacher to be exact. How cool is that? It is mega-nerdy and super-awesome all at once. I can’t wait. Here are a few science-ish things that would look great in my class!

State Fair

Another reminder that summer is coming to a close: State Fair! A visit to the fair is always entertaining. Some of the highlights here in Wisconsin are the piglet races, cream puffs (YUM) and all the dairy products from around the state (we are the Dairy State, if you didn’t know.) It usually makes for a fun, food-filled time - a perfect way to wrap up festival season. Here are some appropriate Etsy finds!

Weekend Vintage: Summer Winding Down

This week I started to feel like fall was close. I’m really ready for it, actually - but in the meantime, I will be making the most of these last few weeks of summer. Here are some pieces that will transition with us all into fall.

Weekend Vintage: GermanFest

Another one of my favorite weekends - GermanFest in Milwaukee!! Beer, brats and girls with braids in their hair - my kind of time. Here are some vintage finds from Etsy that fit the occasion - Prost!

Barbershop Quartet Dress!

I’m in love. I saw this dress on Etsy about a week ago in violetvillevintage’s shop. I couldn’t handle it anymore - had to get it! The best part is that the print is a barbershop quartet - how adorable is that?! I don’t think I have to worry about wearing the same thing as anyone else. Can’t wait for it to arrive.

Invitation Buzz Mention!

I got a friendly little convo today from Heather and Emily of Invitation Buzz letting me know that they featured one of my designs in their blog about veggie stationery! Lovely company to be in - check out some of the other shops! XOXO.

Weekend Vintage: Strawberry Fest

Summer is the best because there are great festivals every weekend. This weekend is one of my favorites: Strawberry Fest!! Can’t wait for strawberry wine and shortcake allllll day!
