little treasures

These wonderful felt booties were hand made by the lovely Marieke of Treats and Treasures for Akira. I really admire her delicate hand, such even and tiny stitches,  much like the little containter she made me for my birthday

Her gorgeous package of goodies arrived on a particularly difficult week for me (Keith had just returned to work after 6 weeks of the most perfect family time), it was awesome to know someone so far away (in Amsterdam) was thinking of us.

This print, a Marieke Berghuis original was something I had been admiring for a while, it was so sweet of her to remember.

I'm learning so much as a new mom, I realize now more than ever that the support and love from friends are as important if not more important than any of the stuff you read about in parenting books.

Thank you so much Marieke, XOXOXOXOX to you sister!!

Hi,

I wanted to write and tell you about a new website for fashion designers, artists, musicians, and filmmakers: www.PutItOn.com. I've been using the site as an artist and have my work there, and am trying to support. Basically, the site allows artists from all over the world to connect, display their portfolios, and sell their work (with no commission taken). The site gives artists a free gigabyte of space to showcase their portfolios, allows you to stream audio and video works, lets you create live personal broadcasts, and translates any writing into ten different languages. If you could take the time to visit the site, and if you like it too, let your readers know about it, and even sign up yourself or link to it on your site it would be greatly appreciated! We are trying to make a go of helping out artists everywhere and are trying to get the word out, so please help us out if you like the site after checking it out! 

Thank you!
