Hi, my name is Taina and...

I'm addicted to VieModerne's flowers!

(admitting is the first step!)

I wore a different one every day at the United Auto Workers Health & Safety Conference and it was a great way for the guys to come up and ask me about them and start a conversation. I accidentally squished my pink hair clip to the point of no return, so I just bought a replacement.



There's nothing like combined shipping discounts to make someone want to buy more than one of something, so I purchased a gold satin one also! I am so excited!



I also went to Borders Books after work and looked through books of little girl dresses and have been sketching out ideas, so be on the look out! My coworker Greg and his wife Candy are having a baby girl in June, so I get to try out all my patterns on them. =)

When I got home, I listed my latest pillow, a print I absolutely love. It's called "VW Sole", in the pink colorway.



(As always, you can click the photos for more details)

I photographed my latest pillow this morning but didn't have time to list it, so it will have to happen once I get home from work this evening.

February's Coming!

Do you know what that means? Valentine's Day! My Birthday! My trip to the United Auto Workers Health & Safety Conference!

So many things to be excited about! I didn't used to be a Valentine's Day kind of gal, but now that I have two penpals and a number of single friends, I thought it would be fun to purchase/make cards.

I bought a couple from CreativeApples, but can only show one of them because my Etsy penpal reads my blog:



Also, I really love the idea of a Hobbit Birthday. Hobbits give gifts to others on their birthday, and I think that's an awesome idea. So I've been buying little things on Etsy to give my friends. I bought a few things from VieModerne, including one hairclip for myself:



I think I need to check her shop again for something perfect for my birthday. Although, I also wonder how the reaction would be if I wore something super girly in my hair at a United Auto Workers conference! lol.

P.S. There's a sale going on in my shop right now! All pillows are on sale, $18 marked down from $22!

Too many beautiful and fun things...

...on Etsy!

I am eyeing VieModerne's flower hairclips with serious lust! I really really really like this one:



If I can get my order in within the next two days, I can have it by x-mas!

I think something weird is going on inside me. I was never really a "tom boy", but I've never been super feminine either. Over the last 12 months I've bought sundresses and headbands and necklaces and retro party dresses...it's really quite odd and out of character for me. But I LOVE it. The girlier, the better! =) In the last month, I even bought lots of different eyeshadows and eyeliners. Sooooo girly.

I want to always have a flower in my hair, cute flats on my feet and a smile on my face. I secretly want every single hair item that VieModerne sells. =)

<3 Always,
