thursday finds

.

we had quite a day at the thrift store recently - found - not one - but two of these fantastic mobiles!


this little fawn is flawless - except for the $2 sharpie tattoo on his leg.


and no thrifting is complete without some vinyl to take home.

rosette

hadley has grown weary of her modeling gig.


she will agree to only THREE photos at a time for a treat in return - usually chocolate pudding or a popsicle - it's in her contract!


besides - she'd much rather be zipping around the block on her new set of wheels! she picked it out herself - complete with pink streamers + pink bell.

i have added two new linen dresses to my etsy shop!

last week was spent with family visiting from toronto and we took hadley to the children's festival.








we lunched at granville island and hadley enjoyed a pink macaron for dessert.


she was fell asleep before she could finish it. i rescued the uneaten half (it was stuck to her knee) and wrapped it up for later - which was a good thing! because immediately after waking, she asked "where's my cookie?"
