Everyone meet the baby's new (vintage) diaper bag. Isn't she pretty?


I plan on making an insert for the inside b/c it is really plain. And I might even make a decal for the front or back of the bag.
I love vintage and repurposing items. I will try to post pictures after I make the insert.

A real Snow Day!
We have been couped up in the house for the last three days due to ice. But this morning we woke up to several inches of snow. Lane and I ventured out for a while and played little. What a difference a year makes. Last year she cried in the snow. This year...she was all about playing.

Throwing it in the air.

Stomping in it.

And of course trying to catch some in her mouth.

Isn't she the cutest snow bunny ever!

New Baby's Room
We have been busy at our house shuffling things around making room for baby #2.

We are using all of Lane's baby furniture and bedding. This used to be our office/craft room.
Here is the crib. We painted the walls sage green.

I found the canvas at Kirkland's on clearance for $30. I bought the nightstand at an antique store for $45. It is in perfect condition and best of all was originally listed at $60 Firm but the clerk let me talk her down.

My favorite thing in the room is this chandelier globe that I got for $34 at an antique store. Don't worry safety maniacs I tacked the electrical cord in the corner out of baby's reach.

The biggest job of all was emptying the craft closet. It was packed...I mean packed with stuff.

I bought a desk on craigslist that is in my bedroom now that stores most of my craft stuff. I am also selling and giving away a lot of things that I don't use very often.

Here is the after picture. It is full of baby things now.

Lane knows that the crib is for the baby. But she promptly has claimed it for Elmo and her baby dolls. She asked me to tuck him in and then gave him a kiss goodnight and left the room. The room is pretty much done now. I probably will find a vintage letter to put on the wall once we finalize the name.
