I was in the kitchen this morning photographing some new products, and I just got a little carried away. I knelt down on the floor next to kitchen table and took a picture of my morning cofffee and journal. And the hyacinths I cut from the garden. A simple centerpiece that perfumes the whole house.
A pile of our napkins.
A stack of teacups on a shelf. Along with an egg I kept for myself. {since I didn't keep any last year, my basket was looking pretty sad!}
Looks a bit fuller this year.
These are the ruffles on some prize ribbons I have to put away with inventory. Still sitting on the kitchen table. I WILL put these away today. The goal is to clear off the counters today. It's a tall order!
Aprons hanging on the wall.
Let us not forget the beautiful refrigerator art. W is the letter of the week, didn't you know?
I made some more bookmarks and I think I'll sell a bunch. They, too, are on the kitchen table. It's a wonder we can eat there.
I'll package them in One Hundred Wishes cotton pouches.
I'll spare you the other kitchen photos... {dirty dishes, bananas smashed in Sam's high chair, etc.} You're welcome!
I hope your week is off to a lovely start!
As per usual, everything in your world is so lovely. Such a reflection of you. I love the bookmarks, wouldn't that be a fantastic window treatment, a million of them all together.

Great photos and nice to know that your shop takes over your house at times too! Love the picture of the egg in the tea cups. I was just telling my husband that I need to get better at keeping things for myself that I make.

Love all of your photos. I am especially coveting those amazing bookmarks of yours (I am so bummed out that just when I discovered your amazing shop that you stopped shipping to Canada, boo hoo...but I do understand...)
