First Sale

I sold a vintage cameo I listed on etsy. Just thought I'd share the packaging and card.

Yes! Blog Award/First Etsy Sale!

Today has been incredible. The sun was gleaming, 
I was satisfied with my outfit ( grey v-neck te
e, skinnys, and pink mary janes), I made my first Etsy sale, my professor loved my sculpture, then I returned to my room to find I had been nominated for my first award by a witty blogger who I look up to and seems to be able to capture the fun and beauty in life. Thank you Amber!

Here are the award rules:List 7 things that you love, and then pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you love! Be sure to tag them and let them know that they have won. You can copy the picture of the award and paste it on your sideboard le
tting the whole world know...you are Kreativ!

Due to the time of the year this list may be a bit biased but here it goes...
1. Swinging. 
It's beginning to get warm and sunny and perfect swinging weather. I swear it's the best natural high you can get.
2. Kombucha.
This is fermented tea I was introduced to at the Home Economist, an organic food store I worked at in high school. Not only does it make you limbs tingle but it has incredible flavor that makes you happy. Try it. 

3. Being in Design School.
If I were not in graphic design, I wouldn't be majoring in anything. I get to do challenging and creative things with amazing people. We like to complain about working in the studio all the time, but we love it and have become a family. 

4. Anthropologie.(This is my secret cell phone shot because they don't let you take pictures!)
I can stay in this store for hours getting design inspiration, smelling it's wonderfully scented candles, looking at housewares, cookbooks, clothes, leather purses, I could live in that store.
5. Sheep Meadow.
My favorite place on earth. This open field in central park brings me such peacefulness and it's located in the center of New York City.

6. Memories of my sister and I playing around the pond and backyard of the house I grew up in.
We used to spend hours on this bridge dropping sticks into the pond, playing with leaves, going on adventures. Your typical amazing childhood memories.

7. The locally owned Ice Cream store Carolina Cones in the town where I grew up.
 This one is not biased. I love ice cream just as much in 18 degree weather, as I do in 90 degree weather. Delicious.


Ok. Blogs I love.

Also I'm not really sure why I used a Vignette for all these photos, just somethin new I'm trying I guess.

Oh craft


I had a pretty incredible Friday night that consisted of crafting into the wee hours of the night, conversations with old friends,  and Emiliana Torrini.
This morning I attended the Downtown Market craft show in Raleigh.. I came out of it with some treasures...

The Dandelion


To me,  dandelion isn't a weed. It's merely a bit of variety in a sea of green. And there is nothing wrong with an expansive field of grass, but it's always nice to find a yellow dandelion amongst the many blades of green.

Spring has arrived.

The lost Urban Top

As insignificant as this may be, I tried this shirt on at urban outfitters about 2 weeks ago (and yes this is a dressing room cell phone pic.) and now, it's nowhere to be found! It was one of those purchases that at the time seemed like too much money.... but now all I can't get it off my mind. It's just so cute and perfect for spring.. let me know if anyone finds it...
