PJ pant headbands

I wanted to make these super long {always tripping on} PJ pants into a capri length. 

did that, 

then used the remaining material for this super cute headband. 

{tutorial coming soon}

not much sewing involved at all.

BEFORE:

                          

AFTER:                                        

                                 

         Similar ideas coming soon. 

{think: 'what would a 3 year old girl ask for'}

XOXO, 

Kate

the day after...truly thankful.

Yesterday was amazing. 

 Quite honestly, I was a ball of nerves.  I have been able to handle some of the most difficult pressures in my previous line of work, but yesterday was a change. 

a new challenge. 

an unknown. 

I guess I always plan for the worst & hope for the best

 {something my mom has taught me just in case I am not disappointed}. 

my heart is fragile so this outlook works for me. 

for now. 

It's amazing who comes through when there is something important in your life.  

Sometimes its the best of friends 

& sometimes its new friends.  

Sometimes its people that don't even know you 

& sometimes its people who know how to read you like a book. 

Yes-the orders mean the world to me 

{what, I can feed my kids}? 

However, what means even more are the emails, 

texts, 

phone calls, 

Facebook comments, 

just the checking in 

the 'good lucks', 

the 'rock it out girl.'

& 

the 'I am so proud of you.'

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU 

from the bottom of my swanky little heart. 

In closing, I want to express my gratitude, appreciation, love and excitement 

to my new Swanky Baby Vintage family. 

We were all there for one another yesterday.  

helping one another answer questions, 

referring appropriate people to consultant locations, 

and just giving one another 

a pat-on-the-back 

through the phone or email. 

A special shout-out to my favorite lil consultants from all over; 

Lora and Mandi of Tennessee, 

Kelsey of Utah, 

& April of Georgia. 

& to my Corporate Consultant,
Winter
& our company owner,
Holli.

XOXO, 

Kate

Congratulations Jessica, watch for an email from me :) 

The day before.

favorite four $ frame.

While @ a local thrift store this week, I knew I had to have this frame.  

I mean look @ that detail? 

sigh...

It had no price, but she said she'd find one for me & it'd be @ the check-out 

{huge fear sinks in; what if its $10, I can't do $10} 

Nope, 

$4. 

{gasp} 

I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.

I am learning that there is nothing you cannot do 

without a lil bit of paint 

{& a lot of love}. 

XOXO, 

Kate

my 'theGREENurbanite' bag; LOVE!

While at the Knoxville Market Square's Farmer's Market yesterday, I came across one of those "I have to haves." I visited the adorable, unique booth, "TheGREENurbanite."

The owners are adorable, sweet, and easy to talk to talk to.

& to boot, it was only $7!

It holds just about anything a mommy needs.

If you are ever at the FM, make sure to check them out; also visit their website for information on living a Green lifestyle.

garage sale finds!

Ohhh my, it was a sweet GS day to spend $7.
