Collection Affection

Meet Christina! She blogs over at Full House, and I guarantee that you'll be hooked after reading one post about her twins or triplets, her shopping excursions, or design loves. She has great taste! I mean, just look at that piano. And those dresses! A few posts back on the original blog, I requested some photos of your collections, and Christina is the first participant. She has a gorgeous collection of vintage dresses. I really want to shop with this lady - she finds the best stuff! So thanks a ton for the photos, Christina - and the rest of you really need to check out Full House. Be prepared to "ooh and ahh" or crack a smile!

Peekin' on Pickin' - Jenny and Aaron's Place

I believe this sign was painted for a bakery - with very good taste (obviously!). Jenny Heid from Everyday is a Holiday is an amazingly talented artist - along with her boyfriend, Aaron. Their creations are just adorable, and you could own your very own masterpiece from their online shop! I am in love with this sign, and if I ever get to fulfill my dream of designing a bakery, you can bet I'll be putting in a custom order for an "open" and "closed" sign. Sooooo cute!


I generally don't begin a house tour with the bathroom, but this is the sweetest room I've ever seen! I love the stripes on the wall, and I'm eyeing those pretty towels.


Just a cute lil' setup!


I love the idea of a different shabby chic-ish paper in each box. And just look at the cute little cakes!


Here's some more striped cuteness! I love the sign. I need to ask Jenny if it's one of her masterpieces, or just a great find.


Now this is one of her masterpieces, and one that I like very much. I have a really bad sweet tooth, and I love to bake.

If you've spent any time on etsy, then I'm sure you have run across the "Keep Calm and Carry On" signs. Isn't this the greatest twist ever on that saying?!

Isn't the bedding sweet?! It reminds me of this. Carlos is pretty cute too!

And that my friends, brings the first house tour (at my new blog address) to a close. Jenny has a bunch of adorable photos of her home and work on her flickr page...I would do some more sharing, but obviously I need to cut back on photos a bit, so I don't have to start a third blog any time soon! Thanks a bunch for the photos, Jenny!

Oh! Also, I requested collection photos in a recent post, and am still very interested in receiving those at SoPickinCute@live.com when you get around to it.
