As always, if you see something you like let me know! I can always put a hold on it for you. And if you have something to sell, I may be interested in purchasing to re-sell!</div>

It went by so fast. We had a great time with baby Charlotte. It definitely changes the holidays having a little one around.<br />
<br />
I have been trying to start the new year off by getting more organized, and trying to work more effectively!! I want to spend as much time as possible with Charlotte while selling real estate, and working on the retail booth spaces at Gigi's & Shop@11th.<br />
<br />
While on that thought, if you live in the Griffin area and ever have unique, antique, or one of a kind pieces of furniture or home decor that you would like to get rid of, please send me a message! It could be something that I'm interested in purchasing to sell in one of my booths. I'm always on the hunt for new finds!<br />
<br />
On the real estate front, I just listed a great home in south Griffin. It's located at 1023 Windsor Way just off of East College St.<br />
<br />

This home has much more than meets the eye from the outside! It was built in 1999, and has since had many renovations & upgrades. If you want a newer home in the older, established area of south Griffin, then this is it! This home has three bedroom, and three full baths. One of which is located in the full finished basement! If you live in this area, then you know full finished basements are hard to find. And this one is done right! With a large family room, and possible fourth bedroom, full bath with claw foot tub, and a kitchenette with fridge and sink. Every thing has been done here, all you have to do is move in.</div>

Aden + Anais is most known for their swaddle blankets. They are a super soft, and breathable muslin fabric. A+A also has really cute designs on their items. Different from a lot of baby stuff you see.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have a great selection of the swaddle blankets.<br />

And burpy bibs. These are great, we use them a lot with Charlotte. They are large bibs that also double as burp cloths. Super soft and absorbent. </div>

If you need to do some baby shopping check it out. My baby shelf is just inside Gigi's. Take a right past the sales counter, walk straight, and you will see the wall of new retail gifts and baby things!</div>

But, did you know that Gigi's now has a designated gift section?<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures I took the other day. I didn't have my camera, so these are from my phone, but you get the idea.<br />
<br />
After you enter in the door, take a right past the sales counter. Walk straight, and you will hit these shelves. It's easy and convenient to run in!<br />

I have been on the hunt for the perfect Christmas stockings now that we have the little babe. Last year, we had burlap stockings. Well, the dogs had stockings. Here is a <a href="http://realestatestyle.blogspot.com/2009/11/diy-sewing-projects.html">link</a> to my very first blog if you want to see those stockings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most of these are on my <i>Christmas Stuff </i>Pinterest board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love these simple monogrammed stockings. You can find the Etsy seller <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/84065931/personalized-christmas-stockings">here. </a></div>

I am also a big fan of stockings that match your decor. I really don't like the word <i>decor, </i>but I guess that's the best way to describe it. Anyway, these are from Seleta's house. You can find her blog <a href="http://www.simplyseleta.com/">here. </a></div>

Since Charlotte's arrival, I have considered more kid friendly options. Like these below from <a href="http://www.garnethill.com/holiday-decor/stockings/">Garnet Hill. </a> I particularly like the reindeer. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Land of Nod is my new favorite catalog for kid stuff. They really do have the cutest stuff! I want all of Charlotte's toys to come from there. Here are a few of the ones I like. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one reminds me of Seleta's stockings above. I would have loved these in our old house. Click<a href="http://www.landofnod.com/zig-zag-stocking-green/f11180"> here </a>for info.</div>

You may wonder why I would spend so much time on this? I feel like my stockings have always changed, and it wasn't a big deal. But now, Charlotte may want to have the same stocking for years, so this is a big commitment. :)</div>

I even searched for aqua knit stockings to see if I could find any that matched our house. But no, they do not exist. Guess I need to learn to knit. </div>

I like it because it's knit, cream, and we will be able to stuff baby C's full of stuff. I mean Santa, he can stuff lots of oranges in there. I may try to get them monogrammed, or figure out a way to add something in case they can't be monogrammed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And these dishwashing gloves. You might not use these, but get a pair for your friends that have babies. I spend a lot of time hand washing bottles and bottle parts in scalding hot water. I have to use gloves. Disclaimer, these had a huge, ugly, fake flower on them. It popped right off. I may go back and get the pink and yellow ones too. I think they were $2 or $3.</div>

If you didn't, and would like to, shoot me an email. I can hook you up with someone in the Utility Club, they are selling these fab wreaths for $25 each.<br />
<br />
I just made a bow for mine that's hanging on the front door. You know I always need some inspiration, so here's mine.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w38PpvNGFz8/ULUk96sG4eI/AAAAAAAAFVg/FtZwNLGPcxo/s1600/burlap-bow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w38PpvNGFz8/ULUk96sG4eI/AAAAAAAAFVg/FtZwNLGPcxo/s640/burlap-bow.jpg" width="425" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I googled "burlap bow" and found this guy. It was on this <a href="http://www.studiogblog.com/shop-for-garden-products/containers-garden-planting/holiday-container-ideas/">blog</a>. I like how she said she wanted a floppy, burlap bow. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My burlap ribbon is white, and I love it! It is also very soft, so it drapes well. It does have a wired edge so that helps in shaping it. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here goes my great step by step tutorial. :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, you will need a piece of wire. I used a long twist tie that I saved from some extension cords I recently bought. I was thinking ahead!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P6m4q0tX4MA/ULUmD1Q3AmI/AAAAAAAAFWo/u8ZEweqpUFE/s1600/Image+8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P6m4q0tX4MA/ULUmD1Q3AmI/AAAAAAAAFWo/u8ZEweqpUFE/s640/Image+8.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, unroll your ribbon and get the length that you want for the tails to be. I made mine longer since I want my bow to be at the top of the wreath. If you like your bows on the bottom, then you might want a shorter tail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_ANDypYjrrw/ULUmJUHJ5lI/AAAAAAAAFW4/D8jStJ2UiUM/s1600/Image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_ANDypYjrrw/ULUmJUHJ5lI/AAAAAAAAFW4/D8jStJ2UiUM/s640/Image.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, you are going to start making your loops. Always do a pair that are the same size. I made pretty large loops. I want a floppy bow remember. :) The larger the loop, the more loose your bow will be. If you want a more traditional look, go smaller on the loops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-55Z57IgdUEI/ULUl4N0OiWI/AAAAAAAAFWA/hdR6l6E_cHE/s1600/Image+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-55Z57IgdUEI/ULUl4N0OiWI/AAAAAAAAFWA/hdR6l6E_cHE/s640/Image+2.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Really from here you will have to guesstimate how many loops you want. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hf00Exk8Mg8/ULUl1vBTaxI/AAAAAAAAFV4/RIhSp41skAs/s1600/Image+11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hf00Exk8Mg8/ULUl1vBTaxI/AAAAAAAAFV4/RIhSp41skAs/s640/Image+11.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ended up with 8 total. I got a little smaller as added loops. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pw29cipRhiw/ULUmGgrPzQI/AAAAAAAAFWw/Sz5wrxaZnI4/s1600/Image+9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pw29cipRhiw/ULUmGgrPzQI/AAAAAAAAFWw/Sz5wrxaZnI4/s640/Image+9.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

While I am creating the loops, I am keeping a tight grip in the center of the bow. Actually squeezing it all together. Then, grab that fancy extension cord twist tie, and tie around the center that you have been holding as tight as possible. Like so...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's nice to have some tie left so you can hook to your wreath. Hence the long twist tie. You can also use floral wire. Or, if you are like me and impatient, you could also tie multiple regular twist ties together. Doesn't everyone have a million twist ties in their kitchen?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you have it tied down, start fluffing. You will grab the loops, and this is where the wired edge comes in handy. Just move them around, and sort of pull towards the center because you want to hide the tie in the center. Another tip, try to match your tie to your ribbon.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the finished product!</div>
<br />

Even though I have 8 loops. I twisted them around in an asymmetrical style. Again, going for the more casual look. </div>

I'll be making another bow for our second wreath. I may use mustard burlap ribbon for that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you want to know about my burlap click the "my shop" tab at the top of the blog. I have some for sale at both booths!! I have white, mustard, brown, light blue, and regular burlap color. They are $14 each for a 10 yard roll.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good luck, and happy bow making. </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p-jkZDy8Aig/ULNd2aMWepI/AAAAAAAAFUk/HXoYhMUdMcY/s1600/31GH3w363WL._AA300_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p-jkZDy8Aig/ULNd2aMWepI/AAAAAAAAFUk/HXoYhMUdMcY/s400/31GH3w363WL._AA300_.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is the zo-li and you can find it <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Zo-li-Bot-Straw-Sippy-Cup/dp/B0031E1GEG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pdT1_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2J49T21PAZZZ9&coliid=I2R0FUZTH3SXYX">here. </a> I read about it on a blog, and it is awesome. Does not leak, and has a flexible straw that moves around in the bottom so it stays where the liquid is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started Charlotte on sippy's with straws because she treats them like a bottle. The lid flips over and folds the straw over when you travel. She also likes to hold it by the handles. It's small, and let me mention again, it does not leak! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
{Luckily she only drinks water out of these, so the leaking on our first cups wasn't a huge deal}</div>

Yea that's right, you heard me! All you chalk paint lovers can now rejoice. No more driving to other towns to obtain your very own, no primer required, chalk paint!!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gigi's Antique Griffin is now carrying the CeCe Caldwell line of chalk paints, and wax.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Great color selection, and the price is a little lower than the other brand of chalk paint.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so excited, because I recently got on the chalk paint bandwagon, and I love it. Can I say chalk paint one more time?</div>

It's probably because I'm not any good at it. But, when I do find a recipe that is easy and good, I like to share.<br />
<br />
Kale seems to be the health food of the moment. We have tried it steamed, and have even baked to make kale chips. Last night, I made creamed kale. I think I saw a recipe for it in a magazine, but ended up using this one I found online. It looked a little healthier as far as the cream part goes.<br />
<br />

It's quick, easy, and doesn't have a ton of ingredients. When I make it again, I will up the cream and cheese just a tad, or reduce the large amount of kale. :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am a BIG fan of sleep sacks and swaddles. From day one, Charlotte was either swaddled in a blanket, or one of the swaddles above. She really slept great, and it kept her from scratching herself, and waking herself up with arms flailing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since you put babies on their backs to sleep, swaddles are great. Around 3 or 4 months, Charlotte starting flipping to her stomach. We decided to stop swaddling her, since they need their arms free. She is a bona fide stomach sleeper now. We decided to transition to sleep sacks as opposed to putting her down in footed pjs. Since you can't use loose blankets, sleep sacks are great. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Charlotte's night time wear consists of a long sleeved, white onesie, and a sleep sack. I think it seems cozier, and more like sleeping under a blanket. So here are the contenders. I added the swaddles, even though we are out of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
1} <a href="https://www.adenandanais.com/shop/classic.aspx">Aden & Anais Swaddle Blankets</a> - This is a great line of products. All items are made with a super soft and breathable muslin fabric. You can find Aden & Anais are various places, and now in Griffin at my new baby booth! These blankets also make great stroller blankets. I always have one nearby.<br />
<br />
2} <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Blanket--Baby-Swaddling--Beige/dp/B000G0L2TM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351601184&sr=8-1&keywords=miracle+blanket">Miracle Blanket</a> - This is a great option for babies that bust out of traditional swaddles. It really keeps their arms in.<br />
<br />
3} <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-SwaddleMe-CottonSkin-Girl/dp/B0040E9K30/ref=sr_1_12?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1351601262&sr=1-12&keywords=summer+infant+swaddleme">Summer Infant Swaddleme</a> - Another option, that is super easy. Has velcro, and you can change diapers without taking the entire thing off. We used these a lot.<br />
<br />
4} <a href="http://www.amazon.com/SleepSack-Cotton-Swaddle-Cream-Small/dp/B003E6OBMA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351600834&sr=8-1&keywords=halo+sleepsack">Halo Swaddle Sleep Sack</a> - These are a sleep sack, and swaddle in one. Charlotte liked these too. You can take the swaddle piece off, and just use as a sack too.<br />
<br />
5} <a href="http://www.amazon.com/SleepSack-Cotton-Wearable-Blanket-Medium/dp/B00008KWO5/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351600961&sr=8-1&keywords=halo+sleepsack+cotton">Halo Sleepsack</a> - This is a basic sleep sack. I like the thinner cotton ones. I never did the fleece, because I worried she would get too hot. We try to keep the room cool at night.<br />
<br />
6} <a href="https://www.adenandanais.com/shop/classicsleepingbags.aspx">Aden & Anais Sleeping Bag</a> - My all time favorite sack because they are super long. If you have a tall baby, you will find they outgrow sleep sacks fast. Charlotte is in a small, and is just now starting to fill it up. The small is up to 6 months, and she is a tall 8 month old. These are a single layer of muslin, and very breathable. They have been great during the summer.<br />
<br />
7}<a href="https://www.adenandanais.com/shop/cozysleepingbags.aspx"> Aden & Anais Cozy Sleeping Bag</a> - Same as above, but this one is four layers of the soft muslin. We have a medium, and will probably start using it now since it's chilly out!<br />
<br />
As I mentioned, I am now selling the Aden & Anais brand. I can order sleep sacks, and they come in a great variety of colors and patterns. I am doing a "baby booth" with a friend at Gigi's Antique Griffin. It's in the works, and I will be posting pics soon.<br />

This is all happening very fast. She is not officially crawling with her legs, but she is scooting all over the place. Baby gates are now in place. As of last week, she can now pull up and stand while holding on to something. I just googled that, and I think we are about a month early. No more rest for this mama. At least with all of her newfound freedom, she is still sleeping like a champ.<br />
<br />
You can see some pics on my instagram sidebar. We visited the horses this weekend, it was so nice outside. I seem to be walking more because of the weather, and now that baby C is riding in the Bob without the carseat, she enjoys it more.<br />
<br />
Anyway, on to Serenbe. I have posted before on Serenbe, the development in south Fulton Co. One plus of living in a central location like Griffin, we can take great day trips. On my way to Serenbe, I passed <a href="http://www.theboneyardantiques.com/">the Boneyard</a>. It's an antique/furniture/booth style store similar to Gigi's Antique Griffin. It's cool, I recommend going. And they have a booth at Scott's. I digress...On the way to Serenbe I also drove through Senoia, which has become another favorite excursion spot. You can really hit up a lot of cool shops.<br />
<br />
Serenbe had some new shops since I had been last. I met up with a few old pals, and we celebrated a baby boy on the way for one of my friends. Since this is her second baby, we had a "sprinkle" instead of a "shower." That's the new lingo. We decided that if she goes for baby number 3, we will have a "mist."<br />
<br />
After brunch at <a href="http://www.the-hil.com/">the hil</a>, we walked around some of the shops. We also toured the Bosch Net Zero idea house. Here's a<a href="http://serenegreenga.blogspot.com/2012/06/bosch-net-zero-house-in-serenbe.html"> link</a> to see the inside furnished. It was vacant when we saw it.<br />

If you read the old blog in your email, be sure to click and check it out. I was an easy process. My blog designer is Carolyn V, and you can find out more about her <a href="http://lifeingraz.blogspot.com/p/my-blog-designs.html">here.</a><br />
<br />
You know I had to keep my signature colors, green and gray. And, we went with the diagonal gray stripes in the background to match my chestnut lane cards. The little green chair pic turned out just the way I envisioned it. Some other changes include my bio pic. I cropped baby C and Charles out, cause you know I can't have the babe on the interwebs! The pic was taken by Cindy at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/cindystansberryphotography?fref=ts">Stansberry Photography. </a>Another change/addition is a preview to my instagram pictures. I love instagram, and have actually been posting pictures of Charlotte there, BUT you can not identify her. Only shots from the side or behind. Kind of reminds me of the neighbor, Wilson, from the show Tool Time. Who's with me on that ??? Anyway, you get to see some of her, that's all I can do.<br />
<br />
And last, you will notice the button on the sidebar, "Visit the Shop." That will take you to my inventory page of what's currently for sale at my booths. I am trying my best to keep updated, and although it's a lot of my stuff, it's not all so be sure to check them out.<br />
<br />
And in other news, I have a new booth coming to Gigi's Antique Griffin. It will be shared with a friend, and will be a much smaller space. Deets to come.....<br />
<br />
I hope you like the new blog look. Stay tuned folks.<br />
<br />

<br />
I've had these chairs for awhile, and they used to be black and covered in a completely different fabric. While I was having Charlotte's nursery painted, I had the chairs sprayed a nice off white color. Today, I picked them up newly reupholstered from Todd who is located inside the Antique Griffin.<br />
<br />
In the pictures the fabric looks like a solid, but really it's a green/off white herringbone print that comes off pretty neutral.<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Baby shoes are turning out to be a big problem for me. It's nearly impossible for me to find what I want. Maybe I need to go into the baby shoe design biz. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until now, Charlotte hasn't worn shoes. It has been hot, and I like baby feet. She sports socks from time to time. But now, she is wanting to stand and take steps while we hold her up. That becomes an issue when we are out in public. So now we are shoe shopping. This girl is growing up too fast...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recently ordered these Keds from Zappos. They are so cute, but they just didn't fit Charlotte's feet. I think she may have wide feet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-naAH-ciy6W8/UGGWEit0k4I/AAAAAAAAFCQ/hT2EGdAmjYQ/s1600/6219-811368-p.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-naAH-ciy6W8/UGGWEit0k4I/AAAAAAAAFCQ/hT2EGdAmjYQ/s320/6219-811368-p.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a few friends who have recommended Robeez soft soled shoes. The soft soles are better for growing baby feet, and especially for a babe as young as Charlotte who isn't walking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We do have a pair of these that are similar to Robeez. I bought them at Target while pregnant. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are keeping them in the diaper bag, and wear them with everything whether they match or not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Speaking of matching, what are the fashion rules for baby shoes?? I have no idea. Can they wear white shoes after Labor Day? I would love some shoe advice. Don't want Charlotte looking uneducated on the subject. </div>

This is exactly what I was looking for, plain, solid color leather shoes. I'm thinking a pair in white or cream with baby C's initials in a neutral color. </div>

These are pretty sweet for dress up. Love the linen with the brown monogram. I would love even more if they had a simple strap instead of the ribbon. She would probably untie them accidentally. </div>

I guess if you don't have a baby right now, you probably won't try it though.<br />
<br />
I will be honest about making Charlotte's baby food. It's not because I am some great health guru. I figured I would give it a try, and turns out it's pretty cheap and easy. So there's the truth. And, I think the little cubes of frozen food are pretty darn cute.<br />
<br />
So here are some of the tools that have helped me become a baby food gourmet. Just kidding....It's pretty basic.<br />
<br />

It has great recipes, but so far I've been following the cooking methods for simple purees.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Freshfoods-78961-Freezer-Tray/dp/B006Z6E80Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1348141590&sr=8-4&keywords=annabel+karmel+trays">{2} Annabel Karmel Trays</a> - I actually found these at Wal-Mart in Griffin. I love them. The size of each cube is perfect for a meal, and I love that it has a lid while freezing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Cube-Silicone-Ice-Tray/dp/B007HBT754/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1348141730&sr=8-11&keywords=tovolo+ice+cube+trays">{3} Tovolo Cube Trays</a> - I read about these trays on Styleberry {link below}, so I ordered them. My two complaints are the size and lack of lid. Each cube is pretty small, so now I am using two cubes for a meal for Charlotte. Basically, I'm using these trays for the extra food. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She would have both hands in the bowl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, so on to the exciting process of making baby C's food. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Peel & cut up fruit or veg</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. I use a regular cooking pot with a steamer basket</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Place fruit or veg in steamer basket with some water in the pot</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. This is where the book comes in handy, it will tell you approximate cooking times</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Once the food is steamed and soft, I let cool then put in a food processor</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. I usually add some of the cooking water to help the food puree easier and a little thinner</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. The puree goes in the trays, then in the freezer</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. Once frozen, I pop out the cubes, and put in freezer ziplock bags labeled with the name and date</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So easy! When it's feedin' time, all we do is grab a cube from the freezer, and place in a bowl and microwave. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far, Charlotte has had sweet potatoes, golden delicious apples, green beans, peas {i used frozen}, pears, & butternut squash.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://styleberryblog.com/creating-a-new-normal-efficient-homemade-baby-food">Styleberry </a>is a great blog that I found on Pinterest. She posts on making baby food, and the picture below is from her blog. You should definitely check out if interested.</div>

Aren't the cubes cute? We haven't had any purple or pink ones yet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course the most important part of mealtime, the little green chair. That's where Charlotte sits while she eats. :) </div>

They are having a fall open house today through Sunday! Most of you know that one of my booths is located there, so be sure to check it out in the upper room towards the back.<br />
<br />
The new owner of Gigi's has really done a great job sprucing up the shop. She has great mums and pumpkins for sale right now! I posted this pic earlier on Facebook and instagram. I love unique pumpkins, and I got an orange/white one, green, and a small white one. They are great prices too!<br />

I wanted a sign for the new booth space at the Antique Griffin, but I wanted to use things that I had. Another thing is, the sign had to be light. At first, I considered hanging it from the ceiling.<br />
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, after some Pinterest looking, I found this. Burlap-check, paint-check, and ribbon-check!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, I LOVE the scalloped edge. Maybe it's this <a href="http://thelittlegreenchair.blogspot.com/2012/09/new-booth.html">table</a> in the booth that has me loving scalloped things right now.</div>

This is my home made sign. I had the letter stencils, cut, painted, and hung! I think it's great to have the booth name, and it looks cute at the same time.</div>
