your questions.

here goes...

1. where do you buy decor? online? antique shops?

i am not a big online shopper.
it just isn't the way i work.
however, when i do order online, and get packages in the mail....be still my heart.
that is the best.
i love getting the thing, just not choosing it and not having it right away (spoiled? yep.).
look what i got today!

my favorite places (whether or not i can afford them) are:

anthropologie (obvs. i can't really get that much big stuff there...but sometimes little things, like this milk jug measuring cup set, recommended to me by my darlin' sis, gracie are fun to splurge on.)

antique shops
i like the old barn in san juan capistrano and there are some great ones in old town orange.
my favorite red head and i just explored a flea market (my first time !?) a few weekends ago.
i found some treasures!

i am going back to bend in may and i am looking forward to some antique browsing...nothing big though since i am flying :(   but wait!  yay! for bend :) my favorite.

target
does that need and explanation?

ikea
as long as i don't get sucked into thinking that i like modern, sleek stuff, i do pretty well there.
my couch, dining chairs and most of my curtains are from there.
check out these lace curtains that i just got there recently!
reedo says they remind him of underwear....bless his heart....i love that guy.

tj maxx/ homegoods
i seem to find stuff there every once in a while.
i like to find stuff on clearance for under 5 bucks and make it great(ish).
check out this globe.
it's base was bright silver...kinda cheap looking....and i antiqued the bottom a bit. cute huh?

mostly i love looking around online and making my version of stuff

i am not gonna call myself a copycat since it feels like i am changing the stuff to fit me...but you can call me a one if you want ;)

2.what is happening with tidbit?

well.

i am not really sure.

i just haven't been very inspired about it lately.

i don't know, i just don't think i am a business woman.

i am not interested in perfecting a product and selling it.

i love making things.

i love being creative.

i love giving things to people.

but i am just not interested in selling those things really.

am i completely un-american?

since capitalism is the american dream, and all?

i feel like, since i do make lots of stuff, it is so common to get that comment.

you know what i am talking about?

"that is really cute! you could totally make a killing on etsy. you should try and sell them..."

there is a part of me that thinks, "yah! i rock!"

and there is another part (that sounds a bit like elizabeth elliot) that whispers "i know you can, but ought you?"

i am still just back and forth on whether or not tidbit ought to be a priority.

i think the answer is "sometimes"

so that is what it is.

sometimes leslie and i get ourselves together and to a boutique with tidbit.

sometimes we don't.

tomorrow i will ask the lord again, and his answer may look different then....
