Getting things done

I have a problem. Well, many actually but we’re only tackling one in this post. 🙂

I procrastinate. It’s true, and sadly quite common.

However, there is hope my fellow procrastinating friends! I found this awesome blog with this wonderful wealth of information! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! I’m already trying to figure out how to do some of the great practical ideas she gives. Enjoy looking at this!

Random Thursday

Random thoughts that are going through my mind that need to be put down before sleep will find me. (Pinterest is seriously DANGEROUS to look at before bedtime!)

*I feel a little silly with how excited I am to make a couple of these this coming month.

I am looking into changing Emma’s room into an actual kid friendly room. With actual organization and proper places for things. Right now it’s…well it’s not pretty. Ikea?

Getting SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED for the grand opening of my Etsy shop, The Copper Acorn. I hope you like it…I do. It’s full of pretty things and bright colors. 🙂

Along with the opening of TCA, I will be adding a couple of long needed changes here on this blog. Some links, new widgets and pictures. I’m so lucky to have a husband who can help me. Seriously feel so lucky.

Our Jane Austen Book Club only has one more book to read then it’s…done! *gasp!* What will I do? Start a new Murder Mystery Club? Classics Club? What book club would you join?

I suppose that is all for now. I have lots of other things roaming around in my mind but those are the biggest. Hope you have a fabulous Thursday!

Free print for you!

I have Valentines Day on the brain and made this while I had some free time. I’m planning on printing it and putting it in our master bedroom. Cause he’s..like, totaly my favorite. 😉 Hope you like it and let me know if you print it. The more people that like/use this, the more times I’ll offer it. 🙂

Weronika the dancer

Weronika was asked to be a dancer in a local village’s celebration and it was so awesome! Loud live music, cultural dancing and good food- not to mention seeing Weronika dancing! She even made 2 skirts for the girls to wear in traditional Polish fabric.

They’re for twirling in and I think the skirts were given to just the right girls- they LOVED twirling! 🙂

European Breakfasts rock

Just saying. It’s true. Here’s proof:

(some of you have asked if we are still in Poland, and we are! We’ll be here till this Saturday)

I must take this opportunity to say what many of you know to be true- nothing beats European bread!

So good!

DIY: Jewelry Box

17815420977.jpg

This is a way overdue post. I took these pictures last February. Yeah, that late…

This isn’t an incredibly clever post. But one that I sorta fell into, walking into a craft store. (haha get it?!)

**rolling of the eyes**

Anyhoo, I saw this organizer thing for 50% off and at about $10 I snatched it up and hugged it close to my chest knowing someone would try to take it away from me. 🙂

It is made of two layers. I painted the whole thing white. (to make the colors of my jewelry stand out to me)

And had no intention of making it ‘shabby chic’ but the brush I was using couldn’t get to the corners so I worked with it. I accepted it’s ‘shabby-ness’ and for now I like it.

(*but could totally imagine it in candy red! Or teal! hehe!)

If you know me, you know I had to add some sparkle. 🙂

It will probably change in the future, but it holds all my jewelry. Happy day indeed! 

Happy new year everyone!

Tour a Polish flat

 A lot of you have asked us how the Polish decorate and if it looks different or similar. Since we’re staying with some friends I thought I’d take advantage of their cute style and show you! So with their permission, here is a small tour of their house!

House Tour: Witamy u Trochimiuków!

Winter Walk in Nowy Targ, Poland

18063998795.jpg

I was slightly embarassed because of how whimpy I felt! It was in the 20’s (F) and windy as we walked and I quickly felt freezing! Our friends were just fine because they do this all the time in this weather.
