It's so nice here in the Northwest today... I want to go to the beach! We have a beach themed Thursday's Three this week.
1) So, I LOVE this swimsuit. I'm still a little uncomfortable showing off my post c-section belly. :) This way I can have a pretty swimsuit that covers! I want! I want! PLEASE check out their Etsy shop.
2) AND, I will need a sweet little sunhat to go with my new swimsuit. :) I LOVE hats. I have a ton of winter hats... I think I need a summer hat too. :) Please check out this shop. Lots of cute accessories for your head.
{Parasisal vitage style summer sun straw hat: Tramp}
3) How amazing are these? I love them. Handmade bamboo sunglasses. I'm seriously thinking of getting some! Please check out their Etsy shop, Takemoto!
So, I am a part of a Blogger Ornament Exchange. AND, I am crazy and I've already made and sent out my ornament (not due until Nov. 20th). I had so much fun making it. I thought I should blog about it now because I know I will be really busy in November!
So, the lovely blogger I have does not know I have them (and I don't think this person reads my blog). I'm not too worried they'll figure out this is their ornament!
Basically I read up on their blogs and found out some things about them. The main penguin is my gift exchange person, while the two smaller ones are their kids. The heart represents any other important people in their lives!
This ornament is titled, "Paper Flying Penguins".
I hope this person will love it! Please check out my shop in the next week or two. I will finally be posting the many holiday items I have been making!
Earlier this evening I was reading Stella Birds Blog and her recent post totally reminded me of myself! It was funny.
I pretty much always wear the same sweatshirt while I work. I actually thought about it earlier today when I realized that I've been to the Postal Annex 3 times in the past 5 days and I wore the same sweatshirt and shoes with some jeans. By the 3rd day, I thought the lady working at the Postal Annex gave me a look like, "Hmmm, she should probably wash that!" Which I did, but I just love it!
Also, Stella Bird also wrote about a song she listens to over and over again (Noah and The Whale- 5 years time, which I LOVE too). I too have a song I listen to over and over again that I dance to in my chair (and sing to my kitties and dog).
Santogold L.E.S. Artistes. I love it! I'd love to see her sometime, but she's only performing on the East Coast.
Is there a song you LOVE to listen to while you work?

I've got a contest that will be posted tomorrow (10/21 and ends 10/24: Only 3 days!)... Come check it out!
New product at my shop! I've made a paper wreath out of old wrapping paper! Great to decorate your home during the holidays! Put it in the house, or on an outside door that is protected from the rain (it has a waterproof coating on it, but it should still stay out of direct rain).
New Item in my shop! An advent calendar! Its a perfect way to countdown to Christmas! I like to countdown to Christmas by putting project ideas and suggestions in each slot. That way, each day you and your family can do something for the holiday! How about volunteer work? Or, make an ornament? Plan the projects and ideas together and place in each slot!
OR, just put some chocolate in each slot! Can't go wrong with chocolate!
I made my oatmeal with breakfast and decided that I would like to have an apple too. So, I pulled this apple out of the fruit basket. I thought it was so beautiful I needed to take a photo of it. Here it is:
I think it is so beautiful! AND, it was delicious! Items from Etsy that remind me of this tasty apple!
