For Celiece....

My sister-in-law Celiece asked me, well I would say forever ago, to post a picture of the quilt I made for our bedspread with the help of my very patient Grandma :D So here it is Celiece, I am sorry it took so long!I'm still need to make a couple more pillowcases in the black damask fabric, but I just love the colors!! I don't have a picture of the other side, but it's a really pretty white fabric, which is nice because I can use both sides.

Here our some more pictures of our house... well mainly Gabriel's room.

These are the boxes I just got for his diaper table... they are cute as well as SO useful :D

Don't you just love this crate? My dad found it for me when he was here visiting the time before last... though I will not say where he acquired it...

This is one of the latest thrift shop finds. My mom found some other wonderful wooden toys (one of them is next to the rocking catepillar... it is so much fun because you can use all five sides plus Gabriel just loves it, thank you for finding it Mommy!) and the cutest rocking chair, but I don't have the pictures of all of them yet. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the thrift store here!!! This catepillar I got for 10 dollars and the wooden toy only 4!
Well I have tons more pictures to upload, but that'll have to be it for the day. Soon I'll bring out all the bug pictures I've been collecting, they are HUGE here in the south!

Lots of Love-
Eliza

Gabriel and his new fantastic word :D

He finally is learning some words!! Yay! I heard this one for the first time when he had knocked over a pile of books on our bedroom nightstand... he now uses it constantly!! Enjoy!

Happy Father's Day!

I just wanted to wish a Happy Father's Day to all the men in my life!
To my amazing Daddy who is one of the most caring, sweet and loving men you will ever meet!
To Chris who is the most wonderful husband and father!
and to Gabriel, future father :D Hopefully you will be as willing to sweep for your wife as you are for you mom!

Presenting: Part Artsy Photography

When my parents came to visit in March we walked through this market in Charleston where they sell things like candles, bags, sunglasses... you know you're basic vendor wares. Something that I saw there that I fell in love with were these photographs of simple things in Charleston like doors, food, gas lamps, and people. My parents were so nice to give me 3 pictures of the doors that I absolutely love! But, thinking about it I realized maybe it would be fun (and a little less expensive) to try and see what I could get from my little camera... so here are my trying-to-be-artsy photos :D

I have no idea what this pot-thing actually is, but it was at Fort Sumter... I know that much!
Can you guess what this is?

Another one at Fort Sumter... I actually really liked how this one turned out!
Mmmmm.... cupcakes :D


Gabriel and a mop... random, but you have to admit it is oh so cute!!
Well that wraps up this weeks edition of Part Artsy Photography :D Seriously though, I'm starting to really enjoy taking pictures... it makes you really appreciate all the beautiful things that surround you and that we've been blessed with. I've realized now whenever I'm in one of those moods I just grab my camera and take pictures of things I'm grateful for... little boy, the hubby, our home, our fun back yard, and of course cupcakes.

Lots of love-
Eliza
