Sponsor Spotlight: Clever Nettle

Anja, of Clever Nettle, not only has a gorgeous blog, but also an incredible Etsy shop. I'm constantly in awe of the plethora of vintage pieces she has in stock. Plus, she also sells her original art which features beautiful paintings of antique clothing. Do check out Clever Nettle...

1Aeon Giveaway Winner!

Congratulations Megan!






Please email me so you can claim your prize! Kaelahbee@gmail.com!


and to everyone else, thanks for being patient with me this weekend as we move and get settled into our new place! It's been a busy busy busy past 28 hours and we have to paint paint paint, move move move and drive drive drive (plus unpack, situate, organize, and shop!) so I'm going to be slammed. 


If you follow me on twitter, you also may know that I dropped my Nikon last night and busted the lens. (Well, it's pretty much jammed beyond repair because it'd take 2+ months to fix and I'm not having that!) So Mike and I just bought a new lens via the internet and it'll be here in the next week or so. Until then... I guess it'll be iPhone and disposable cameras once more! :( I was just getting the hang of the outfit photos, too! Don't worry, I'll try to figure something out for the time being. (Oh, and we just realized our Flip cam is broken :( Fail!) There's a lot going wrong but we're so so excited to be in our new house and I can't wait to share all of the photos with you! Thanks for being awesome!


xoxo

The caterpillar!

Remember this guy?

That picture is from July 25. This next one is from July 26th. See the color difference?

I had just read that when Tiger Swallowtails get ready to pupate they turn brown, so I hurried outside and got him some little sticks to attach to. 

The above photo is from the 27th. Sorry it's not the best picture, but I didn't want to bump him and his little container is hard to take pictures through. But look how he's attaching himself to the stick. I got to watch him do it, it was so neat!

And this last photo is from the 28th. When I woke up and checked on him I couldn't believe how much he'd changed. He looks absolutely nothing like when we found him. I feel like a little kid, impatiently waiting and checking every few hours to see if there has been a change. 
I never thought about how absolutely amazing caterpillars are. I'm so completely intrigued by them.  


xoxo.

 So so so in love with this dress! I would love a handmade version that is knee length, how adorable would that be?! (Also, didn't mean for the new Friday Favorites logo to match the dress, but they sure do look pretty together!)

 The most magical bed!

Have you guys seen this blog yet? If not, then it's about time. "While my baby is taking her nap, I try to imagine her dream and capture it." Love, love, love the idea!

This lovely house update. I would love to see a house like the finished product in person, ok, I admit it, I wish I lived there!

This sweatshirt is beyond awesome!

 (via: ruffeoheartslilsnoty)
I found these in my favorites on etsy...SOLD. Let's put these in the "things you feel so dumb for not buying when they were for sale especially because they're you're size" category.

Digging that tile! I wish our bathroom had it. 

 (via: limerence)
This super snazzy phone. We actually have one just like it, but I love the colors in this one. That pink, yellow, green and aqua combo is so great.

Eeee! Aren't these precious?!

These handmade shoes look so cozy. They'd look great with some capris or a skirt! 

 (via: lalashoes)
Totally lovin' those leggings!

 (via: black milk)
 Last but definitely not least, this amazing video of a CAT RIDING A TORTOISE! Hehe. Found on Proud Daydreamer's blog.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Whistleblower Wins $1.175 Million Verdict

A former office assistant for the state Board of Chiropractic Examiners was recently awarded with $1.175 million by a Sacramento Superior Court jury for the damages she suffered from the retaliation.

Carole Arbuckle claims that the retaliation occurred after she discovered that a board member’s chiropractic license has temporarily lapsed in 2001. She then reported the incident and soon after, she allegedly found herself attacked and forced out of work.

She was demoted and was forced to go on a disability leave before she was transferred to another state job where she received lower salary. Arbuckle claims that she suffered $750,000 losses from the board’s actions which included her retirement losses.

Arbuckle now awaits the jury’s decision whether she will also receive punitive damages for the actions of her supervisors.

In this case, the whistleblower was retaliated for reporting the wrongdoings of the board. The retaliation then resulted to her financial losses and so it is compensated after a jury found that her allegations were true.

Bits of my Thursday

When I wasn't working, this is how my Thursday looked...


Woke up and greeted Kirsten.


Maisy came to see me.


Pip and Wellie were waiting for some love.


Lime juice and multi-grain cheerios.


Remember this jumpsuit. Someone bought it from my shop and never paid, so I turned it into a romper.


Playing with my new iPhone 4. We went six days without cell phones. It felt so 1999.
Love the album, Lungs. This is my ringtone.


Watched a little Anne.


Dinner- it tasted better than it looked.

TGIF!!!

Anyone have exciting plans for the weekend?

Yours,

PS; Tomorrow I'm going to attempt a "Day In the Life" or a "Document A Day" style photo journey! It'll probably be crazy with the move, but I'm gonna try! From the minute I wake up to the minute I go to bed. I've tried this before... and failed miserably... but wish me luck! (I promise to break the entire day up with a "Read more..." tab at the bottom if I succeed!) Has anyone done this before? If so, link me over! I'd love to see what you did!
