Humble Brag

Aside from my ever growing home and closet improvement projects, I've been warming up my camera skills after nearly a month of neglect. 

After doing my original post on Max's Haus in New Braunfels, I was invited back by Norma, the owner of the shop, to take some updated photos of the store. She not only asked me to return every couple of weeks to take updated photos of stock, but she asked that I help run the photo section of the shop's website and Facebook. I was beyond flattered, and couldn't believe my little old photos made the cut! 

To add to the excitement, she wants to compile my best photos and submit them to Texas Monthly for a feature on her store! I was completely speechless when she delivered the offer. Granted, even if the photos never make it past the website, I'm beyond honored that she saw something worth representing her beautiful little space.

If you find yourself 'round these parts and have a need for some antique lovelies, check her out. 

This is the new shop kitty. She needs a name.

Sleep tight, shop kitty.

100? I'm Not Foolin

April is here!

Not only it is a new month, but it's the month I'm hoping to hit 100 followers! In celebration, I will be doing a giveaway the day after I hit 100 followers on GFC. And I'm not foolin!

So get ready... and get excited! Details to come soon.

Anyway, I had a little time to play around with my camera, and I thought I'd give you a glimpse of my favorite things this past week.

A Peek Into The Wardrobe

Living in an old home is so important to me.

It's like holding a little piece of history, and the craftsmanship and detail can't be matched to anything built in the last 50 years. The only thing that builders could have done is have a little more foresight and realized that historically, women like clothes. A lot.

So they should have beefed up the closet space. 

The house we live in is tiny (that's being generous) and the closets are no exception. For starters, we have two closets in the entire house. One in each bedroom. No space for towels, sheets, cleaning stuff, nothin. 

Now, I'm not complaining. I'm merely setting the story.

Back to the tiny house. I am kind of known for having stupidly large closets. Even in college, I picked my dorm on the sole basis of closet space. So when I moved in here, friends commented on my inability to squeeze it all in, much less share with someone else. Ha.

So out of the kindness of his heart (and after much artful whining on my part), my dear sweet husband gave me one whole closet to work with. After filling it with about a third of what I own, I realized that I was going to have to get crafty.

I hopped on Craigslist and found a beautiful dresser from the 50's and a wardrobe from the 30's and finally felt settled.

Mirror, mirror...

Holy prints Batman.

These make such cute impressions in the dirt!
