Confession is good.....

Ok I admit it....I am obsessed with three things right now...
tea parties, art and handmade on Etsy.
And who wouldn't be after discovering the incredibly talented Sarah Jane of
Sarah Janes Studios.

Photobucket


I have had such a wonderful time browsing her listings. I just love her choice of colors, patterns and delicious vintage charm.
Photobucket

I received this delightful set in the mail this week....I'm thinking birthday invitations.(; They are so yummy and were beautifully packaged!Photobucket


I couldn't resist this design either....
Photobucket


I wish confessing was the first step to recovery but I don't think I will be getting over this for awhile.
Photobucket


She has such an amazing selection of items....prints for decorating, stationary for friendly notes and more!

It's PINK!

Ok, so if you have to get a new computer you should do it with style right?
At least that is what I explained to my hubby as the reason for it being NECESSARY to order my new laptop in my favorite girly color.
Hey, I have to look at it a LOT so it might as well be easy on the eyes. heehee

I am really glad that this thing came with so much memory. Goodness knows I am super short changed in that department most of the time so I will take all the help I can get. Yeah I know it doesn't work quite like that but I was hoping.(:

Anyway, I am so excited for this fun new addition to the Paradin' Around Studio.....it's PINK!(:

It's Tea Time!!

I absolutely adore Etsy and tea sets. So when I stumbled on my new friend Kymm and her AMAZING Etsy shop I was in for a rare treat.

Photobucket


I found out very quickly what a treasure these sets are after asking Kymm a little more about the process she goes through to create these one of a kind, child size masterpieces.

Photobucket


First, these are no ordinary, pick a set up at Gardenridge and fire up the kiln sets.
Kymm uses a mold and liquid clay to MAKE the tea set itself. Yes you read that right, these are hand crafted right from scratch.

Photobucket


If that isn't incredible enough, any sweet flowers, ladybugs and other embellishments you see pictured she hand molds and adds them for a delightful effect that only hand crafting can achieve..

Photobucket

And she doesn't stop there. You can also choose your colors, have your child's name added and have a message placed on the back of the beautiful tray as well!

Photobucket

If you are looking for the perfect way to say I love you to your sweet princess then you will need to look no further than this....

Photobucket

I ordered two sets and Kymm's unbeatable customer service made picking colors and styles so smooth and enjoyable. I would share our selections with you all but shhhhhh.....they are a surprise so we'll have to show you later!(;

Photobucket

Come and check out Kymm's talent! Just click this pic for her wonderful world of make believe!
