OBSESSED

via

Yes, I'm still here! Just a busy busy bee! I do have some new updates, which should come soon since I am bf'less this weekend! For now feast your eyes on the amazingness that is WHITE OWL on Etsy. I am lusting after every.single.thing. on their site!

'Til we meet again,

A super cool giveaway

I found this super cool giveaway over at Tatertots and Jello today - I absolutely love, love, LOVE the hand stamped jewelry she is featuring made by Kristen of Kristen's Creations! Seriously, go check it out. I feel like I could find a gift for everyone I know in her selection of jewelry! And of course something for myself :) Hehe. Here are some of my favs:

This would be such a sweet gift!

I know alot of lovely dancers who would enjoy this one :)

Did you go check her site out yet? Do it :)

Moving!

That's right, I'm getting out of this apartment and moving into a house! The bf and I, plus one of the bf's friends, are moving into a house at the end of the month! Lets just say, I am so excited I have practically already started packing. One of the best things is that it has a fully fenced backyard - Mosley has never had a backyard to run around in! Ok, and I can't say I'm not fully excited for all the decorating! Once we get moved in, maybe I'll share some pictures :)

Do you have any exciting events happening this summer?

Drowning in knobs!!

Have you ever noticed if you look at a word enough times it starts to look wrong? That's how I currently feel about the word knob.

I realized that I still need to get knobs for the desk/hutch that I painted here! Silly me. Off I went searching (online) for the perfect knobs. I never really thought about how.many.different. kinds of knobs there are! I found quite a few on Home Depot's website that I like...take a look and let me know what you think! I'll definitely paint the knobs if they come in a gold color.

What do you think? Or is there a better place to find knobs?

Something Old is New

While over at my grandmas house for our weekly dinner date last week, I asked her about the photograph below. It had been sitting in her laundry room for a while, and she said I could have it if I wanted (of course I did!). In it (somewhere) is my grandpa's uncle. I might be a little crazy, but I am so excited my grandma gave this to me! It means a lot to have something from my grandpa's life since he just passed away last year. At the bottom it reads:

93rd Aero Squadron. 1919

"Just back from France"

I think I'm starting to love collecting more and more old things, I love wondering where they came from and what kind of stories they tell.

{you may notice some changes around my blog lately/in coming days, no worries, I'm just being indecisive about how I'd like it to look}

**EDITED 05/27/10**

After a little digging, I found out more information about the picture. Ok, it was more like I googled the title of the photo and found this site right away. It is amazing that there is a whole website about the 93rd Aero Squadron, with names, photos, and stories. I even found my grandpa's uncle after I realized his name was on the back of the photo I have. It's Robert Goetz, who, I found from the website, was a cook in the 93rd Aero Squadron.

Have you found out any stories behind old items you have?

(PS...I think I'm getting closer to getting my blog how I want it to look!)
