And...it's June. When did that happen?

And...Patrick defended his dissertation today. 
Lizzie is now calling him "Dr. Daddy" :)

And...we move to Springfield in 2 weeks. 
Time to get cracking with the packing!

And...today also marks our 13th wedding anniversary.

And...the moving sale at Sushipot Vintage continues for now.

And...I'm going to take a little break from this space 'til next month.

And...I wish you a Happy June :)

Sushipot Art Blocks


After a long hiatus Sushipot's popular collage art blocks are back. Simply put...I missed making 'em! I can't believe there are over 2,000 of these 'round the world. Enjoy!

Sushipot Vintage Moving Sale

Packing is in full swing as we'll be moving in just about three weeks. I've decided it would be nice to move with less inventory so we're having a BIG Sushipot Vintage moving sale!


Thank you Lizzie for the chalkboard sign ;)

Springfield Home

Our house-hunting excursion to Springfield, Missouri was a success. We viewed all sorts of houses....and I mean that literally.
 
Patrick did well navigating our new city. It helps that it's laid out like a big grid and we were armed with Google Maps.

Took a bit of time to explore one of the local parks and skip a few rocks on Lake Springfield.

We did our fair share of eating out at many of the fantastic local restaurants.

Lizzie finally got to visit a Krispy Kreme...Daddy's all-time favorite doughnut place!

Spent some time on campus and visited Strong Hall to see where Patrick will be working this Fall.

Lizzie says the back yard of our new home smells like a fairy garden 'cuz it's surrounded in honeysuckle. 

Now time for the part I'm dreading.... p-a-c-k-i-n-g.

Cozy Spaces


We're headed to Springfield, Missouri tomorrow to scout out a new abode. I've spent the last 48 hours with the phone glued to my ear and have over a dozen places lined up for us to view. Crossing fingers we find a cozy home with studio space (for me!). These images are from a Stick 'Em Cutouts book by the Platt & Munk Company, 1939. Aren't they sweet? 

And....here's a coupon code valid at either Sushipot or Sushipot Vintage. Enter HOUSEHUNTING at checkout for 25% off your purchase. See ya on the flip side sometime next week.

Kickstart The Cart

 Anthropomorphic Art Dolls by The Cart Before The Horse
 

My Etsy friends Dylan & Jo of Cart Before The Horse are embarking on a super-duper-jealousy-inducing journey! They are working their magic on a 1989 Winnebago Itasca to transform it into their own cozy home 'n studio on wheels. In order to reach their goal and hit the road this Summer they've launched a Kickstarter project. Pledges start at only $1 but exclusive Cart goodies are yours if you pledge at least $15 :) Let's help Dylan & Jo make their dream come true!

Kickstart The Cart HERE

Rubber Duck


While assembling this assemblage I remembered that Lizzie's first birthday cake had a rubber duck motif so I dug it out of our family photo archives to share with you. Kinda continuing on with the bathtub theme from Monday's post ;) When's the last time you listened to the Rubber Ducky song?

To Market, To Market

To Market, To Market, assemblage with old cuckoo clock frame

Finally put one of these cuckoo clock frames to good use. We always quote the second line of this Mother Goose poem to Lizzie when pulling back into our driveway at home after a road trip or visit to the grocery store. My parents did the same when I was a kid....

....home again, home again, jiggety-jig.
