Sugar and Spice

and everything nice...
I'll get to the important details first...I was blessed with a healthy little girl on Thursday, 1.21.10. We are overjoyed and of course over-tired...Her name is Emerson Elizabeth and she's just perfect. Thank you for all your sweet and caring comments; they were quite nice to read from my hospital bed! I now have girlie, girlie, girlie things on my mind..here are some of my current favorites...

Old fashioned femininity mixed with modern accents

Tightly clustered pom-poms.



These suede pink moccasins..comfy + chic, just what every mommy needs

pretty printed blankets and bedding


Intricate details..I love this bunny and adorable nest pendant

The mix of Red + Pink together

    Congrats - I love the name. I also love pom poms. You should probably add some to her room since they are cheap and you won't have to feel bad if you get sick of them some day and throw them away. She is adorable. I hope you are all making fabulous memories of her first weeks!
