{some gems}

i found some great little gems at the thrift store yesterday. i love hitting the thrift stores, b/c you never know what you're going to get--sometimes it's pure crap, and sometimes you get lucky with some goodies! today i just ran in quickly before i had to go to caleb's kindergarten class, and in the short time i had, i found some fabulous vintage towels. i cut up one, and made it into some burp cloths for Miss nor--she is a drooly one. i also got a vintage table runner, some tea towels, and this old--metal globe. i haven't found it's home yet, but i love it's great colors and charm~

speaking of nor...i was going down memory lane--looking at baby picts of caleb and z. i have always thought that Nora looked exactly like caleb as a baby {and yes they are twins~}--but looking back--shes got some z in her as well ....now how to make them stop growing? it' s making me sick~
you're killing me smalls!

so itty

Itty bitty cutie, that Miss N. Amazing how all the kiddos look so much alike. And I love your thrifting finds - great patterns. Have a great weekend!

Great finds lady!

As for your little sweeties... you can definitely tell they are all siblings in those baby pics! So gorgeous... and you're right, you can totally see some Z in Nora too!

I was telling B last night, that seeing our baby (in person and not via ultrasound) for the first time is by far the most exciting part of this whole baby thing for me. I can't wait to see her tiny little face! :)

Have a great weekend! xx

Such great stuff! I have been wanting a globe. Whenever I go to Saver's I find absolutely nothing!! I guess I just don't have the eye...or I am going at the wrong times. And oh my goodness they do look so much a like...such cute kiddos!

Such great finds Shar! Giada is also a drooling queen, and we go through lots of burp cloths. Your vintage ones are adorable.
Also, I just love how cute Miss Nor is! I think she looks a lot like Caleb, too. You make gorgeous kiddos!
Happy weekend!

I am laughing the other day at dance I said the word itty to a girl at Grace's dance she said the only other person she had ever heard say that was Kelli. I am now wondering if it is an Olsen word. I thought everyone said it!!!
