Mason Market

Sorry for the lack of posts recently!  (For those of you who actually read this-if anybody???)  My goal is to post about something at least each week, but sometimes the days fly by, and still no posts?  Anyway, here are a few pictures from the Mason Market at Mason Prep last week.  Not the best backdrop-what can you do with blank gym walls????

They had a fundraiser with over 40 vendors selling everything under the sun in hopes of raising money for the school.  It was a great event with a huge turnout!  Blue Chickadee participated with El&Ann Designs (formerly Textile. by Margeaux Fraunfelter).  Can you see her ADORABLE dresses hanging from the rack?!!!  I am telling you what, if you are a mother of a little girl or have any reason to buy for a little girl between the ages of 1yr-3yr defintely get one of these cute dresses (only $18 with matching ruffled bloomer for $22) So CUTE!!!! 

Here is a close up of what I am talking about.....cute, huh??

And totally unrelated,  I couldn't resist putting in a photo of baby G-he's a penguin if you can't tell.

And Little R-dressed as a forklift driver (not to be confused with a farmer!)  He had a great green John Deere hat but he refused to wear it at this Halloween party:(  Looks like he's pouting here, maybe he wishes he had it on????

Ok, I do have other things I am working on, so I will post more pics soon!!!!

You Caught Me!

Sweet little "innocent" R

(Daddy not sure if you have seen this one yet?  Sorry!)

*blue chickadee has some great things in the works...i'll be updating with pics soon!

Sugar Snap Pea

Ok, so I know most of you living in Charleston already know about Sugar Snap Pea on King Street, but in case you don't, I thought I would share a few inside pics.  

Here is the new sign I made for Zhenya to hang in SSP doorway leading to other goodies...

Blue Chickadee has a few things in there including canvas paintings, bibs, burp cloths, bloomers, boxers, the list goes on.  Below is an elephant painting of blue chickadee's that used to find it's home in baby g's room.  

Below is another blue chickadee painting for sale in the shop.  You can purchase as a four part or individually.

If you haven't gone by yet, be sure to stop in soon.  You are sure to find the perfect shower or birthday gift for the little people in your life! 

P.S. Also, all you new mommas, you can register there as well, even if you live out of town!

P.S.S. If you spend $200 in one trip (easy) you get a free 30 minute photography session with Carmen Ash!  Some examples of her work are hanging in SSP store or you can go here and check it out online!  Enjoy!

Animal Safari

Here are a few room shots of a nursery with a three part series of "animal safari" blue chickadee paintings.

This is the best part for me!  I never get to see the paintings hung on the wall after they leave my hands. This is one of my favorite nurseries for a little boy!

Guess how many crabs?????

This post has nothing to do with blue chickadee however it has everything to do with CRABS!!!!!!  Can you guess how many we caught?????

You would be right if you guessed 60+!!!!  What a way to end summer around here...a day on the boat, a few beers and crab crackin'!!  Big R spent the better part of the afternoon picking the remaining 35 to get get 2 pounds of crab meat for crab cakes last night!!!  



What a wonderful day spent on the water!  What's the most number of crabs you have caught??

monkey and this little piggy.....

monkey man numero uno....

 These little piggies found a home on baby g's wall.  

Moving on, here is the most adorable toy box that my friend Margeaux made for baby G's room.  Cute huh?  The fabric matches the bottom trim on the changing table (she made these burlap panels as well).  Check out her blog-she is specializing in custom crib bedding.

monkey man numero dos....

PS-anyone want to help me with my photography skills???  how can i get the "white" to be more "white"??????

Tags and Bloomers

Here are a few things that I have recently been working on for some friends.  I so wish I had a little fanny to cover with one of these hand painted bloomers.  I have to admit, I have thought about putting them on baby g, just to see how cute they would be....i think big r would have a few words for me if ever found out. Don't tell!!!!

I just got these in the mail from an adorable shop on Etsy called Bitsy Creations.  These are iron on tags for my blue chickadee line.  She was able to take my logo and transfer it onto these adorable tags!  Don't you think they turned out well?!  I had to get iron on because  a)  I don't have the time to sew on each one and b) I am not very good with the sewing machine!  So, these were the answer....

Couldn't have done any of this without this little cutie pie!
