Today’s Etsy shop, Beach Chik Designs went through the Tipsy Society like wildfire! Sarah purchased one of these for Der and then I purchased one of these for another friend! Sarah and I both bought them for wedding showers (for decor at the shower as well as a present to the bride & groom). They are completely customizable! I love the Date Canvases which you immediately think of for wedding dates. BUT what if your husband keeps forgetting your wedding date, get one for your anniversary so he NEVER forgets because its displayed right there on the wall or mantle! haha! OR the Number Canvas could easily be for a baby gift once the little one arrives–displayed in the baby’s room! LOVE LOVE LOVE the personalization!

7 Ways to Make an Eclectic Nursery
October 28, 2009 by
When I found out I was having a boy, I knew what I didn’t want in a nursery. I didn’t want pastels, I didn’t want typical. What I did want was his nursery to look like it belonged to the rest of our house which is colorful and eclectic.
I had seen, at a local antique show, a slew of owls painted on some weathered fence boards and immediately wanted it for my son’s nursery however it was a GAZILLION dollars, so I set out to make it and therein came the theme for my son’s room: owls. I read somewhere after I picked that theme that owls bring good luck, wisdom, and watchful protection to your home–LOVED IT!
My hunt for owls then returned the Flights of Fancy Mobile, which just embodied the colorfulness that I wanted. From there I wanted unique animals and found the Dodo Bird print, Pongo (who I loved so much I framed him) and Magnus.

Are you dressing up your wee one this Halloween? You know, the one that probably hasn’t even had candy yet, but so you can take him around your neighborhood and get yourself candy? Or are you going to spend the money on a costume for one Halloween picture? Either way, I have found some TURBO cute costumes that are sure to drive the little one INSANE what with all the stuff around his face and making it difficult to walk and all. But GOOD LORD they are cute, aren’t they? I think it’s a tie for me between the Masked Owl and the Roast Turkey…mmmmhmmm baby toes!!

I Love Me Some Baby Hats
October 21, 2009 by
When my little boy was a tiny baby, he had a hat on his head wherever we went. I loved me some baby hats. My dad told me, if I didn’t stop putting hats on him, his hair wouldn’t grow. Blagh! On a related note, my 1 yr old is just starting to get some hair on his noggin.
