A baby shower gift for a good friend includes a onesie/bib/burp cloth set from The Fresh Stitch (that onesie has a tie on it! That's so cute!). I added a pair of knitted booties to match. I hope she likes it!

enamored with: vintage snack dish

I'm thinking that I might need this snack dish. You know, to hold jewelry, hair things and other sparkly bits.

bucatini and brass

While enjoying a delicious dinner at the Osteria Mozza mozzarella bar last night, I enjoyed both being able to watch the chefs work, as well as all the adorable brass animals that decorated the bar. Maybe I need to start a brass animal collection? This bear is pretty cute.

There is also this tiny bird:

Or this camel family:

Or a pair of swans:

Or this elephant:

Or this set of quails:

etsy: romper

I must be needing a shopping fix because all I want to post about is vintage clothing. But how cute is this liberty print romper?!

new to me

Some new (to me) purchases that I made recently. I'm still not buying new items, so it's been fun to see what I can find used and vintage. The dress reminds me of the wallpaper that was in my grandparents bathroom.
