Kitschy Kitten is now Nest Vintage Modern 04/14/12

14th April 2012 Kitschy Kitten is now Nest Vintage Modern Hi guys! I’ve been keeping my blog and store separate for some silly reason. It doesn’t make sense since I sell what I love, and I blog about that same stuff. What was I thinking? Ah well, let’s fix that, shall we? So I’ve combined the blog and store. It’s a blore…or a stog. Maybe not. But it feels right. Let’s do it! I've made this ENTIRE POST a giant link so you can't miss it. Ahh hilarious. I’ll be selling ...

Blog Love: Chalk cloth table topper project 11/23/11

Oh, I was on a roll! Until some vicious bug took me down over the weekend. I've abandoned my sweet little blog for vats of Pepto and quality time on the daybed. Ugh. So I'm totally pulling a cheater cheater pumpkin eater blog post by sharing this bit of brilliance spotted over at Oilcloth Addict (in the name of Blog Love). It's one of those "Ahh! So easy! So smart! So cute! I'm so doing this!" things. Kelly has taken oilcloth faced with a chalkboard finish and trimmed it so that it's an exact fit to h...

Blog love: Marketing Mommy 01/26/11

I've known Alma, the author, since I first moved to Chicago about 13 years ago. We worked at a local alternative publication together back then, and I knew she was destined for great success. I admire how she is a student of her family, faith, creativity and career. I learn something new every time I read her blog. I've read articles that make me a braver parent and give more self-confidence to my children, and plenty of stories about how we always have to be able to laugh at ourselves. Alma is quite active in...

Blog love: Making it Lovely 01/19/11

Ok, you guys have to meet Nicole Balch. This woman is awe-inspiring. Not only does she run her own stationery business, but she blogs at light speed, completely decorates her entire house top to bottom, guts and renovates her basement, wallpapers her dining room herself, scopes out super cute outfits & decor finds, and digs out her yard to lay her own pavers, but she does it all while she's pregnant AND in high heels. Ok, I don't know for sure that she's always in heels, but I wouldn't ...
