more owls and inspiration

Yep, I said it, more owls. I made another set for little Lilly. I have one more in the works but am loosing a bit of steam. I still think they're super cute though ... how fun. For baby Lilly we used felt circles for eyes instead of buttons.
Plus added in a few gift bags. I've done these for the past few birthday gifts for the kids. They're fun, and if the kids we've given them to are anything like Owen, he certainly likes to use the bag as much as whatever is inside.


On another note, I've had a wonderful past week... decadent you may even say. Owen and I took a trip to visit our dear friends in Florida. There were screened in porches with rockers and porch swings, sunshine and beaches.
bleached shells and wood.

Green everywhere and myriad wildlife.
Afternoon naps, soaking on the beach and in the bay, and glorious outdoor showers.

lovely.........

to follow up on a lovely weekend, B. took me to see Pink Martini at the Schnitzer, so much fun, it was definitely more of an orchestral crowd v. jazzier one, but still super fun to see. Plus... a night out, a concert, dinner at Kenny and Zukes. sweetness. Today to top off our week of debauchery we took a long lunch to watch Coraline at the Living Room. Pshew. Tomorrow I grab a huge pile of papers to grade to keep me occupied. Our summer gets a little crazy after this weekend, it has been nice doing a bit for myself... feels crazy luxurious.
