Boots N Gus Revisited




Now for something completely unique!!

 What's the difference between a plain old Mason jar and an awe inspiring hanging lamp? Please allow me to present my latest find. BootsNGus.

 Jeff and Mark have worked together to create some wonderful and whimsical things for your vintage desires. You simply must check out their  Mason Jar Lamps, vintage housewares, books, music and prints in this fantastic shop!

These upcycled wonders would be the talk of the party. You may not be able to  decide which of the lamps you love best. The Sparkling Starlit Standing Banner Ball Mason Jar Row Light   Or the Spiral Mason Jar Carousel Chandelier Hanging Light  You're probably going to want both, because they can be used in so many ways.  But then there are many more designs to choose from that you will find it to be a very "happy problem".

In addition to the vintage inspired lamps, BootsNGus carries fun finds that will take you back, like record albums from the era of the 50s and 60s. Some sweet antique books that your child would loves much as you did.

Check out BootNGus for some sweet nostalgia and their lamp treasures.

Shop A Day.....Karen's Creations


It had to happen! You know I love all things paper. But my first love of it came in the form of scrapbooking.  And it's still very close to my heart for many reasons.

A million photos from generations ago. We all own them. We usually don't know much history behind them or sometimes, even who they are! But what would you give to come across something that was written by or filled with photos and information about someone you've loved in your life. Or would love to have known? What your Great Grandfather was doing, thinking or feeling when that photo was taken. Or when he saw the Grand Canyon for the first time, when he was a young man? When you weren't even here yet.Was it the same feelings and thoughts you have today?
 Is that why you feel the way you do about things? Maybe you didn't know the way you value certain things, runs deep through your family? But there he is, practically talking to you from this old memory book. That's what you can give to the people you love. And it starts with simple, beautiful memory things like these.
When I make them myself, my constant struggle is figuring out how to keep things simple but still amazing and engaging.  That's just what Karen's Creations has done! Now one of my new favorite inspirations for all things paper.  Karen creates amazing scrapbooks, journals, mini memory books,  paperbag albums and so much more. Add to that, things that serves a useful purpose too! Double whammy! I love it!!
  Karen's awesome creations are as interesting and beautiful to own and reminisce through, as the very things we put in them. Perfect places for our thoughts, experiences, photos, and all things worth keeping and remembering.

The faster we keep moving through life, the more I believe in these memory and photo books. The more the valuable they become, the more I want to share them. And if you own one, and watch closely, you may find how much they seem to mean to the people you share them with.
Check out Karen's Creations for her premade books and journals as well as the opportunity to have her custom make something that would be close to your heart and the hearts of the people you want to share them with.

Her wonderful style makes.....

Ring Ring, Life Calling!

Happens to us all, I think. You know the way you want to blog and work all day long everyday, but then life starts calling you on the phone all day. And if you don't answer, it knocks on the door? And if you still don't answer, it blows the door down, hinges and all and announces itself with a big ole "Didn't you hear me call you? Come out of there now! I'm falling apart out here!!!"

Well... that's what's been happening this week. But, today I'm baaccck!  And I'll be bringing you a new "Shop of the Day" in just a few minutes. Yippee! :)

So thanks for hanging in there with me and keep checking my blog and shop. There's some new and fun things coming for the holidays in the next few days.  ;)

Have a blessed day everyone,
Kim K.
