You can get your coffee fix AND One Breath Photo fix in one place. The pieces we never get to bring out to most of our craft fairs are up on display at Morning Brew in Kailua. Oh, and if you're not a coffee fan, they've got some pretty awesome Italian cream sodas, baked goods, and a pretty impressive food menu for a coffee place. Go get your fix, now!
I loved this book when I was a kid and so did my husband. On a trip to the bookstore over the weekend, we bought this for little John. =) One more book to add to his collection!
$23 for a wooden toy. $30 if I want it personalized. Yes, thirty freakin' dollars. And I'm seriously considering it. Have I gone crazy? Would it be worth $30? I'm telling myself yes. It's cute. And it's awesome. Little John would have his own little dslr until he grows into one of ours. AND it's handcrafted in the US. And it's organic and eco-friendly. And if I bought it, a donation would be made to plant a tree through Trees for the Future. See, how can I NOT buy it??
A dslr teething toy! I think this would be more age appropriate and would make a much better teething toy for little John than the iPhone he's currently using.
So Christmas has already come and gone but since it's still technically winter, here's a photo to celebrate the season. I bought this Kewpie figurine when I was living in Japan. I became mildly obsessed with Kewpie after hearing a jingle for a food product, tarako (fish egg) spaghetti. A little quirky, a lot strange, and a teeny bit disturbing, Tarako Kewpie is also unexplainably charismatic and likeable. He's got a bit of a cult following and is probably one of the most awesome characters to come of out Japan.
This is what glueing 500+ little glass marbles to magnets begins to look like after marble #368.
I love my iPhone and so does little John. He will grab for it if he sees it within reach on the bed and will bring it up to his face so that he can gnaw on it. How is it that the spots that he always ends up gnawing and drooling on are the exact spots where the little outlets for the cables are supposed to plug in?
This is what helped us survive our trip back home to Hawaii across the continental United States AND the Pacific Ocean with an 8 month old. There was a lot of turbulence on our flights so standing up and walking around with the baby was not an option. Rice puffs saved our lives and the sanity of all of our fellow passengers on our flights.
1.4.2011 - "Little John's Magazine Debut!" Okay, so it's really a teeny tiny picture of him but if you look through the current issue of Hawaii Skin Diver magazine, you'll see him. =) And if you look extra hard, you'll find another tiny photo of him somewhere else in the magazine!
1.1.2011 - "Acorns" Did you know that those acorn tops fall off pretty easily? Well, I had no clue until I picked one up, wanting to use it for my picture. I think it was the first time I actually touched an acorn. We don't have them in Hawaii and the only time I get to see them is when we go back to South Carolina for the winter holiday. =)
1.2.2011 - "First Snowfall" Okay, so this picture wasn't technically taken on the 2nd but we were traveling for most of the day so I'm allowed to cheat and post a picture from another day. Here's our little boy, fascinated and enjoying his first snowfall ever.
1.3.2011 - "Swoon-worthy" We came home to an abundance of mail and this little treasure was in it. A letterpressed holiday greeting card from a fabulous designer friend, Kristen of Cry Baby Ink. =) I know I'm being a tease by only showing a tiny portion of the ornament-shaped card, but trust me, it was fabulous!
