Welcome to My Little Shop!

Well, it's been a long time coming, but I'm finally ready to introduce my new shop. At this moment, there are only a few items, but I'll be adding to the collection soon! Everything in the shop has been featured on the blog, so you'll already know the story behind each item! Go ahead and take a look HERE!

Upcycled Anthropologie Necklace

What do you do when your child breaks your favorite Anthropologie necklace? You use the beads to make a new cooler necklace, of course!

I created a new necklace using chain, a C- clasp, and a lobster clasp. Then I removed the beads I wanted to use from my Anthro necklace, and attached them to my new chain.


Voila! Instant new upcycled necklace using beads from an old, broken Anthropologie necklace. I just may like this one even better than the old!

I made my own hand soap! It was so easy and I'm smiling already thinking about all of the money I'm saving! I bought my Castille Soap from Sprouts, but they sell it at many natural foods or health stores. It was a little pricey (I can't believe I didn't have a coupon or wait for it to go on sale!), but I think it will save me a lot of money in the long run.

Zoo Day fun day

We took Gibson to the zoo today.


He had an up-close encounter with a white tiger.

Hopefully this is the closest he will ever get to touching one!

I think it wanted to play.





This meerkat was probably my fav.


Felt a little sorry for this gorilla. :(

All in all, it was a beautiful, warm, Texas Fall day!
