Hello, again!  Just thought I would post a little logo I recently entered into a design contest.  I'll let you know how it turns out soon!  

Toodles!

Neat Seat

Happy Saturday, everyone!  I started my day out right with a quick (and super easy) DIY project–turning my outdoor hanging chair (that was sitting at the back of the patio collecting dust) into an indoor reading nook with plenty of pillows and blankets to wrap up in!

This all began in the early a.m. hours over a cup of coffee and some ebay searching.  I was actually looking for a big, vintage leather chair for Dylan to enjoy when I came across this:

When I realized that I had this exact chair (ok, ok, a "version" of it), I decided to drive straight to Lowes and get help puting my own together.  With a simple rectangular base, four tapered legs, and some electrical brackets, my chair became a reality, all for under $30 (ps, I got the chair from a neighbor who was going to throw it out...thanks Kristen!). 

I hope you have a wonderful day, and stay tuned: we are heading to the Brandon Food Truck Rally this afternoon and will report back soon on all the tasty treats we find! 

A Sweet New Year

Happy 2012!  Sorry it has been such a long time since my last posting; between (ugh) holiday retail hours at work, late nights with friends, and attempting to decorate my plain-white box of a home, I am finally back to kick off the new year! 

Now, if you are anything like me, exactly 9 days ago you probably picked a new years resolution like working out more, eating healthier, staying more organized, yada yada yada only to let yourself down after, oh no, day 3?  NEWSFLASH:  IT'S OK!  Each day can be considered a "new year", so let's get on with it and start enjoying 2012 by nibbling on some Dude, Sweet Chocolate.  I absolutely adore this surfer-dude vibe for a chocolate company, very unexpected and a little masculine.  I also love the fact that the packaging is hand-stamped with the company's name (see the last picture)!  All in all, kudos to Tractorbeam for the lovely branding, and may you have a sweet, sweet new year.
