Happy Friday!

We have been having such a busy spring, (thus the lack of activity here).  We escaped the city for spring break last week and spent time in beautiful Vermont and New Hampshire for Easter.  We were excited to return to spring in Brooklyn!  Our flowers are pushing up and blooming in the back yard, the bees are super busy gathering pollen and the tulips we planted out front are opening.  I found lots of great antiques in Vermont and have been listing them on our Etsy site.  Dare is desperately trying to crawl after spending a week with big kids.  Here are some pieces of the last few weeks:

*Cameo Ring.  I found this Victorian ring in a little shop in VT and fell in love with it.  Then I saw that the box was from an old jewelry shop at 1 Market Street in Portsmouth, NH.  Before I moved to NY I worked at the beautiful Flower Kiosk just a block away on Market Street.  Such a small world.

*Pansy Detail, Webber Vase

*Cloudy Drive Out of the City

*Eggs

*Vintage Bingo Cards and Ada’s New Numbers

*Vintage 1950s Arrows in an Antique Pitcher from Greenpoint Brooklyn.  Who knew that Greenpoint was a huge pottery manufacturer in the 1800s?!

*The Most Beautiful Building in the World

*Pretty Cameo Pin

*Jesse’s Snowman, April Snowstorm in Vermont

Happy Friday and Happy Spring!

I think I saw our tulip shoots push up another inch or two yesterday. I need to get out back and remove my over-zealous straw mulching from the fall.  This is our second year of growing a garden and we get very excited when plants actually grow out back.  I think I even see the start of flowers on one of my hellebore plants, which everyone else in our neighborhood seems to be able to grow except us thus far…Maybe this is our year.  One of our bee hives was bringing in lots of pollen this week.  I am so amazed that those girls know when and where to find the tiniest bit of pollen in the otherwise gray landscape.  I need to take a peek inside and see if we need to feed a bit more before the flowers really start providing nectar.  We are keeping fingers crossed for a warm weekend.  Hooray for Spring!

Happy Friday!

I have been with only one baby for a few days and must admit it feels like such a vacation!  The two oldest girls went to Nan and Pappy’s house for the school break week and Dare and I have been hanging out and crossing things off of our lists.  How ironic that when we were first-time parents we were too new to realize that having only one baby was simple.  Here is a bit of our week:

*Dare, Sitting Up.  She has officially figured it out.

*Orange, 2014.  I’ve been listing some of my paintings for sale on our Etsy shop.

*Aztec, MarieBelle in Soho

*Daddy and Dare

*Decorating for Josie’s Birthday Week

*Liberty Prints, Purl Soho

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday!

We can feel summer slipping away over here.  The light is changed since we returned from vacation.  The bees have started kicking the drones out of the hives for the cooler weather ahead, poor boys.  The garden is as full as it will get and we are thinking about what worked and what we will amend for next year.  We are planning winter projects and looking back at the steps we made over the summer.  Fall is my favorite time of year in this spot.  The sun is bright and strong, but no longer wilting.  We spent our last summer day at the park yesterday.  Ada is starting kindergarten on Monday!  I am still a bit in denial, and promise not to cry until we are out of her sight.  Autumn is such an exciting and transforming time of year.  It always makes me feel like change is on its way.  What are your plans for the new season?

Instagrams form the last few weeks:

*Ivy in the Window

*Fort Construction

*Josie on the Last Summer Beach Day

*Sleepy Dare in the Pouch

*Early Snowman at The Magic Forest, Lake George NY.  (We were skeptical, but The Magic Forest was pretty amazing.  The forgotten amusement park is small, quiet, shady and perfectly kitschy.  They have a Snow White animatronic exhibit which claims to be from the 1939 World’s Fair, but is in fact even older.  Mouse Planet has a great post about The Magic Forest’s history here.  The gift shop was a beautiful dusty jumble of beaded belts, felt cowboy hats and rubber souvenir tom-toms).

*Magic Forest Angels

Happy Saturday!

I hope it is not raining too hard where you are.  I keep hanging out the laundry and running to bring it back in between showers…We managed to venture out this week with the three kids.  It seems a bit crazy to get that many people dressed and fed and out the door, but we did it!  Dare is still being mellow and sleepy, thank goodness.  She has however decided she likes to be wide awake during the darkest hours.

*Sleepy Dare

*Clouds Over the City

*Josie, Covered in Tomato Seeds

*Ada, Hiding from the Rain

*Kisses, at Pier Six in Brooklyn

*Breakfast

Have a great weekend!

I feel like a broken record, but it is HOT here.  We spend a good deal of time sitting in the little pool, watering the garden and eating popsicles.  We are hoping our beach day tomorrow stays rain-free, but the rain should feel free to visit any other time.

Here are some Instagrams from the week:

*Kiddie Pool and Drying Diapers

*Ada’s Letter Practice

*Swaddle Blankets, Washed and Stacked

*Josie’s Potty Chart, by Ada

*Blanket Fort (With Newly Unstacked Swaddle Blankets)

*Hot Bees, Bearding to Cool the Hive

Have a Happy Weekend!
