Je t'aime French Banners

  Inspired by my love of many things vintage, 

French and of course Paris.  

I created French inspired  banners 

for my Etsy shop Pink Door.  

My newest one is "Je t'aime"  (I Love You).  

The letters are on a sand/creme 

color die cut card stock, 

hand stenciled with black paint,

 and frosted with 

a fine black glitter, and of course aged 

looking edges to give it that rustic vintage look.

  I will be making other sayings in French, 

but I do accept Custom Orders.  

Just send me a message via Etsy as 

to what you desire for your banner, and voila!

Au revoir! :)

Love Is In The Air

                                               My mom and I have combined our talents 

and have been working and 

creating some handmade items. 

We have recently brought our handmade, 

vintage inspired holiday and letter stenciled banners 

to sell in her Etsy shop Saturdayfinds 

my Etsy shop The Pink Door.  

  We have been making various paper crafts 

for sometime now, and have usually made 

our banners for friends and family.  

When they were quite popular at a local boutique, 

we decided to bring them to our 

Etsy shops to share with all of you!
  We have our Valentine's Day

and Easter banners for sale now

...and soon will have our wedding themed, 

and many many more!  

We do also accept custom orders.

  Happy crafting! :)

Getting through my pile of movies I need 

to watch before voting on The Screen Actors Guild Awards...

best perk is getting a ton of free movies! :)

My Newest Polyvore Creation...

Cookies for Christmas

Every year I do my Christmas cookie baking,

for gifts to family and friends.

I usually do my Oatmeal cookies,

Chocolate Chunk and Peanut Butter chip.

This year I did a few new ones.

Thanks to Pinterest.com, I see so many awesome recipes,

so I got inspired to try some new ones.

I made these, which you can find the recipe

on the package of the peppermint Hershey

kisses. They turned out great! :)

..just alittle update

So much has been going on in our world.

All good things, just busy, busy.

I don't get around to blogging like I use to.

Mainly because Dallon, my hubby was on tour

for like 2 months. So being home alone with

the kids takes up ALOT of my time.

But the hubby is ba

ck from tour for the

holidays so we have been enjoying that! :)

Been also working on getting

my craft space set up and got a new

sewing machine

to start my new projects.

So after the holidays, come the new year

my new shop on ETSY for babies and kids

will be open, and I'll list more goodies

in my Pink Door Etsy shop too.

This Christmas we just really

want to take it easy,

and spend time with one another.

So I took alittle hiatus from my shops,

and were only having a small intimate

family celebration come Christmas day.

So in my free time I've

been baking and baking....and baking

goodies for Christmas gifts.

Come back,

I'll post what I've been making... :)

Monday is Over, Hello Tuesday!

Something about Mondays..

hard to get back to productivity after

a fun weekend at the nearby

Hidden Hills neighborhood parade.

How thankful I am for my cup of coffee..

Tuesday is here and I'm ready.

I have lots of things to do, to prep for our trip

to Utah to visit family and my

husband is playing a concert.

This will be the first time

flying with the baby Knox...

who now is about 15 months old.

I think it would be much easier if he

were alittle baby still, now he's a wild little man! :)

Amelie our little girl who is now 3,

has flown many many times.

What makes the most nervous

about this trip is the return

flight I will be flying home by

myself with both kids! Yikes!

This is when a nanny would

come in handy

(maybe someday when we can afford it).

Thinking ahead of being at the airport

with a 3yr old and 1 yr old, luggage,

carry-ons, potty breaks, diaper changes..etc.

I will need free hands and lugging a stroller

is just too much, I purchased a Ergo baby carrier.

I've heard amazing things about this carrier.

All the other I had suck and got rid of them.

They were uncomfortable, and hurt my back.

My sis has always used the Ergo

and can be worn front and back, and she's a small

skinny girl, and carries her almost 2yr old in it.

So once we get to Utah, and after my husband

plays the concert at the Big Ass Show

on Oct. 8th he leaves right after

to start the U.S. Fall Tour.

I'm staying behind a few extra days to visit friends

and hit up the amazing thrift

stores and craft stores there.

Then I will come back to

meet up with him for his

one day home and then he has a show kinda

near us at the Ventura Theater.

After that he will be off again!

Sad to say this year he will gone for Halloween,

which is not the first he's been gone for.

Those who know me, know I love Halloween.

I will still make it fun for the kids,

probably a Halloween party at Grandma's house.

~~

Right now, I'm home alone too with the kids,

while hubby is touring Indonesia

and Australia.

I'm not complaining,

but it does get hard at times.

It gets hard for him too.

As much fun he's having and living his dream,

he's away from us, and I can't even

imagine what that would be like

to be away from the kiddos for weeks at a time.

I went to NY a couple weeks

ago to meet up with him.

I left the kids with my mom,

and even though I had a blast,

by the end of the

3 day trip I totally missed the kids...

So that's another catch up as to what

we have been up to here

in the Weekes household.

I'm also working hard to get a

craft space set-up again for me,

get a new sewing machine

(mine broke, it was super old),

and get my NEW Etsy baby/kid

boutique shop up and running.

My partner in the creation of this

new shop is my mom Saturdayfinds.

Our shop will be called SassyClassyBaby,

and here's a sneak preview of our shop banner:

coming soon!!

Have a great day, ox

The End to a Great Weekend

Hope you all had a great weekend!

I found a few goodies at yard sales

I was very excited about.

First thing was this

gorgeous Antique GWTW

(Gone with the Wind) style lamp!

If I had somewhere to put it, I would

be keeping it- but instead I posted it

for sale in my Ebay shop Swinginkitten

so check it out it's a beauty

and needs a good home :)

I also found these salt and pepper shakers that

are marked USA, but I haven't quite figured

what pottery co. they are from yet? hmmm

What do you think?

Oh and last but not least this adorable

Antique doll buggy! So precious!

Now how could I pass on this?

I will be posting it for sale too,

so I will keep you posted when I do.

Well kids are in bed and

it's time alone with my hubby.

Got to get in as much alone time

with him as possible before he leaves

on tour again for 3 weeks.

Thanks for coming by, I love to hear your

feedback so please leave comments. ~
