Shop Update #2!

I am excited to introduce my new Camp Fire Scout Necklaces!

Bright colored wooden beads, once earned by Camp Fire Girls for completing projects, accent colorful duck quill feathers. A handpainted, vintage leather charm drop hangs beautifully from an antique bronze cable chain for the perfect finishing touch.





Now available for purchase in my Etsy Shop!

NEW! Just added to the shop!

I've been busy making new products for this fall and after having a photoshoot yesterday, I can finally show you what I've been working on! Thanks to my friends Clara and Morgan for being my beautiful models.



These are super soft 100% cotton jersey scarves from American Apparel. Each scarf is individually tie-dyed and screenprinted by me. There are three different screenprint designs- a cute owl, some crossed arrows, and a campfire! I hope you like them as mush as I do! They are now available for purchase in my shop!

This is just the first of many shop updates I have planned for the fall season. My next one is planned for this Monday, where I'll introduce to you my new line of Camp Smartypants jewelry! Also in the works are a blog redesign and a website update, so be sure to check back!

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Back to School

Even though I am no longer a student, I still love the back-to-school theme. When I was a kid the end of summer vacation meant back-to-school shopping with my mom and I loved shopping for new school supplies. To this day, the thought of a brand new spiral notebook, a fresh yellow pencil, or unopened box of markers makes me all giddy. (Is that wierd?)

Anyhoo.. Since Labor Day has come and gone, I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite school-themed items. Enjoy!
