A Few Updates

I have been very busy lately and so has my blog. While I have a few quiet moments I want to discuss a few things that have been going on. We recently finished hosting a wonderful giveaway sponsored by the lovely Sima. Sima makes darling personalized jewelry that you can purchase on either Etsy or her other shop. You may have noticed our blog recently got a new look and we couldn't be more excited. Nikki of Delightful Designs was an absolute sweetheart who put a lot of effort into pleasing two girls whose tastes can be as different as well.. night and day. She has an Etsy shop where you can find all of her creations, such as wonderful cards and stationary like the one pictured above, and lists of her services. If you don't see exactly what you want please do not hesitate to contact her. She is amazing to work with. If you are looking from some adorable accessories visit The Shop of Wordly Delights. I recently received the cutest owl pins and I now have my eye on mischievous fox in a bandit mask.

One final thing. We were recently tagged by two of the nicest bloggers out there. While I don't very much personal information on this blog I love reading my favorite bloggers answers to questions like these so considering how sweet they were to tag us I had to take part.

  14. Yay for picky eaters! I am super picky. I have gotten better since meeting Mr. A, but I am still picky. Like, if it looks weird, I won't eat it. Or if it smells weird. That's a big thing, too.

  21. "I hate the extremely hot temperatures Summer brings." Ditto
    I also LOVE late autumn, it's the perfect weather.

    Pride and Prejudice always makes me happy :) Especially a soaking wet Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy.
