Wonky Stars

If you were at the JOY Market this past November,

then these stars might be familiar to you.

 We called them wonky stars, either for lack of a better word,

or because "wonky" really does describe them best!

~

The stars came in two sizes, and various shades of stain.

One guarantee was that no two stars would be alike.

 I've begun adding stars to my shop, beginning with the smaller size.

Once I figure out shipping details for the larger stars, I'll be adding those as well!

And if you happen to follow @coraanneshop on Instagram,

you've seen that there's a coupon code for 10% off

which is good until January 31.

 

Wooden Blocks by Sincerely Abi

A while back, I commissioned my friend Abi of Sincerely Abi to make me a set of blocks to use in Little Guy's nursery. I headed to the scrapbook store to find six papers to match what I had envisioned for the nursery which included lots of grays and whites with some colors like teal and red thrown in.About a week prior to Little Guy's arrival, a package arrived at our front door with not just one but three sets of custom made blocks!I couldn't get over how adorable they turned out,
and to have three full sets was an awesome surprise!
~
Because my pictures don't do justice, here's Abi's description of her blocks:
These pine blocks have been sanded by hand, and then prepared with an eco-friendly, non-toxic milk paint. The block edges are once again sanded for an antiqued finish. Patterned papers are applied to each side of the block (a different pattern for each side), and each block is sealed with a water-based, non-toxic finish. The blocks are packaged in a kraft take-out style box with kraft shreds(both the box and the shreds are recycled products.)
I bought a large glass jar at Target to display the blocks in......and now they sit on Zachary's dresser and I just LOVE what they add to his room.
(Look for a full nursery reveal coming soon!)

Spring Clothes : Milo Creative

It sure seems like it's trying so hard to turn to Spring around here, but we're just not quite there yet. Today it reached 50 degrees so we played outside and pretended we were warm! Even so, I've got my Spring wardrobe on my mind, and shopped around Etsy to see what I might like to add to it. I stumbled upon the shop Milo Creative Studios and instantly fell in love. (And not just because she's a Grand Rapids girl!)

Island Girl Bags

Lucky me, I had quite a surprise this morning when I found out I won a new beach bag from Island Girl Bags! I had the pleasure of meeting MaryBeth at the Gussy meet up in December, and she's just as sweet as can be! This couldn't have been more perfect as Claire and I have big plans to live at the Lake Michigan beach in Grand Haven this summer.
