Corners of my home….
It's June. It's raining. I'm stuck indoors dreaming of warm weather, popsicles, stripey umbrellas and sundresses. Instead, I'm reading books, making shopping lists, drinking tea and looking at the little corners of my home with my camera while the boy sleeps. Sun? Please come soon. Please.

Christmas Decor 2010
Almost done decorating for Christmas! We put up our tree late Saturday morning! Probably wasn't the best idea because Cooper loved the tree soo much, he wouldn't take a proper nap. How could I forget how exciting Christmas can be for a young one!?! He kept calling for his Christmas tree. So far hasn't been touching the ornaments (that much) but he does insist on holding our hands and bringing us into the sitting room to show us the Christmas tree. I think he loves it.

my love for mason jars
If you've been on Shutterbean before, you might notice that I like to drink out of mason jars.
My best friend got me hooked when I lived up in Oregon!! There's just something about the weight & thickness of a jar that makes me like it. I also know that out of a room full of cups, I can easily spot mine. A few of my jars have the ounces labeled on the side! It's pretty handy when I need to measure out a drink, or account for how many oz. of water I drank! A huge plus when I can put a lid on one and take it on the go!
I think its funny that people find it weird to drink out of jars. I often get "you're drinking out of a jar!" As if I didn't know....
This little delicate little jar/votive ceramic piece has found it's home in our living room.
It's a little birthday gift from a good friend. Isn't it pretty? I can't wait to see it lit up with a candle inside!
She knows how much I love mason jars! I wish I could have a dozen of these!
You see what it's sitting on? The first issue of 3191 quarterly. It arrived two days ago!
I absolutely adore the work of Stephanie & Mav!
Happy Birthday to me!

Birthday Celebration continued…
I had a birthday celebration for Casey & his sister on Saturday to celebrate their birthdays.
Here is a peak of the table!
I wrapped Lauren's present first, and it became the inspiration for the table decoration.
