Thank you so much for all your tales of (romantic) woe! You made my decision quite difficult, but I have found my lucky lady - congratulations Miss Kensey Crane! I can't tell you how cute it was to envision a tiny Kensey performing these desperate acts of love. Thank you all for participating and I must make special mention of all the gassy ladies (and their mums), friends, you are not alone! For awhile my diet consisted almost entirely of beans and rice (something I am considering doing again as am presently a itchy mess playing hostess to a variety of itchy spots on my face due to recent dairy, caffeine and wheat consumption). I apologize for my tardy announcement but my internet time has been limited lately as we only have one computer and Landon has (quite fortunately) been a busy bee working on computer leaving me to sit and stare at paper and paints (and much to my chins chagrin, eat cheese). I will hopefully have more time this week to properly update blog and respond to emails and comments! (ps have made a few small updates to shop)

and the winner is...

i picked up this little playsuit at Amarcord Vintage today. the lovely italian shop owner finds most of his merchandise in europe which makes for an even more exciting selection of vintage attire. i highly recommend giving his wonderfully curated collection a peak either online or if you're ever in town (very fair prices for NY too).

anyways, enough of that business i know you're all dying to find out who the lucky winner of the giveaway is! i must say, you ladies didn't make it easy for me, so many wonderful stories to keep me entertained. thank you all for your submissions! the lucky winner is...Daile!! congratulations my little ginger companion, your story tugged on my heartstrings. please comment with your email address in this entry and i'll forward your info along. i hope for more contests in the future to reward all of you wonderful ladies for your excellent story telling skills! thanks for playing!

ps. landon and i are featured in the premier issue of lovely australian magazine elodi. give it a gander as it's packed full of excellent artists and articles!
