Scrabble baby decor

The area above Baby Chuck Norris's crib was looking a little bare, so I decided to decorate it.  I wanted to put up something fun and not too heavy (just in case it fell and bopped baby on the head.)  After wandering through the craft store aisles, I finally decided on this homage to Scrabble:

12 points! (Hmm... was I subconsciously inspired by this book?)

Oh the wonders of card stock, cardboard, and ModPodge!

A deck full of Toms

Perhaps the curse of my black thumb is being lifted?  Not only is my deck tomato plant still alive, it's actually growing more tomatoes!  During a routine watering, I spotted three new tomatoes.

A tiny Tom 3 grows above Tom 1 and Tom 2.

And if you look up higher, you can see tinier Tom 4 and tiniest Tom 5.  Can you spot them?

If all goes well, we just might have enough for a salad (by August)...  

One store, many stories

I recently watched this Etsy video on this blog.  I loved the store owner's sense of style and philosophy.  Second hand items have history and it's neat that you can uncover part of their stories at his store.  Enjoy!
