na pali coast

I am so sorry I have been absent for the past month. There has been so much going on with our move to Utah; we’re trying to sell our house, I’m leaving my job of 5 years, training my replacement and trying to squeeze in time with friends. Some days I just don’t feel like I can accomplish anything simply because there is so much to do. Isn’t there some saying about divorce, death and moving being the most stressful things in life? On a positive note, as of this Friday I won’t be working, at least for the foreseeable future, and therefore will have lots of time on my hands to spend on Lil Will. Oh and then there’s a little thing called our six year anniversary and a long awaited trip to Kauai happening in 3 weeks! I’m looking forward to some much needed relaxation and to things slowing down for a bit. So keep checking back for some fun stuff I want to share with you!

hooray for rikshaw design!

elephants

I have been stalking the website of Rikshaw Designs for weeks waiting until the shop was open so I could share with you this gorgeous line of bohemian baby bedding. I’ve been on an Indian textile kick lately so it’s no surprise that I love founder Catherine Fitzsimmons delicate Indian block-prints and pretty designs. Each design is hand printed in India and is offered in four distinct collections that feature quilted crib sets, burp and bib sets and a handy diaper set. My favorite item is her stuffed elephant pillow. When I was little and had had a scary dream, one of the tricks my Dad used to use to calm me down was to tell me to imagine that my bed was surrounded by pink elephants. Someday when I have a little girl I’d want her to have one of these elephants to make her feel safe too. Click here to buy directly from Rikshaw Designs.
