in the baby world, this and this have both caught my eye.

first, the puj tub. it’s a soft + flexible tub that hangs flat to dry or store. it’s anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, pvc-free + bpa-free. it fits in small sinks. and bathing a baby in the sink seems much more convenient than bending over the bathtub.

second, the joyababy diaper clutch. it’s an eco-friendly clutch that holds a few diaper and wipes. plus, there’s a machine washable changing mat inside. seems perfect to throw inside a diaper bag or carry independently. and it’s cute.

is it just me, or is it shocking how quickly this year flew by? i know people seem to say that every year, but truly it just zooooomed on by! 2009 was a great year filled with lots of changes, many happy times + wonderful memories. i have a feeling next year will be just as splendid! cheers + see you in twenty ten!  |  photo via ffffound

since it fell on a wednesday, kacey and i celebrated our anniversary this weekend. i thought i’d share with you the gift i made for him.

we really try to follow the predetermined anniversary gift list, and the third anniversary is leather, crystal or glass. for months i thought about what to get him. i like to give him experience type of gifts, and after reading this post, i emailed brooke to see how her class went. she loved it and sent me a link to austin art glass which offers private glassblowing classes. i knew i had found the perfect gift for him.

i also knew i wanted something for him to physically open on our anniversary. i designed and printed out a larger card + a little card. i affixed a glassine envelope to the larger card, inserted the little card inside it and sealed it with a round sticker. the larger card was placed inside a jelly bean filled kraft box, and the box was tied with white twill tape. he absolutely loved it!

today, kacey and i celebrate three years of marriage. it’s been a wonderful three years, full of love and growth and many, many happy memories.

here’s another pretty i found while browsing etsy. a silver monogram necklace that’s made from a wax seal stamp. perfect for a stationery + wax seal lover like me!

my anthropologie catalog arrived last week and i went gaga over these porcelain knitted ski cap candles. even the scents sound divine! i’m hoping to pass by the store sometime soon to see + smell them in person.

today i’m liking these cupcake stands. they are just so darn cute!

hope you had a wonderful weekend!

i must have a thing for pillows right now. first the felts ones, now these burlap ones.

i love october, especially the first day because it means it’s my birthday! this year [i'm not sure how] but it sort of snuck up on me. i have a bit of printing to do today that i’ll knock out his afternoon. then, i think kacey and i are going out for a nice celebratory dinner! hope you have a great day!   |   photo via amy atlas
