American Flag Wall Mount

PYRC #41: Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Brussel Sprouts

Who doesn't love brussel sprouts? Oh wait, maybe lots of people, but I'm having trouble understanding why. Well, the post-20-Kendra-who-actually-eats-things is having trouble understanding why.

Kitsy Co: Etsy Shop Update

Hello my favorite readers! I thought I'd share an update on my Etsy shop.

Since my official opening blog post, I accomplished my first sale, I've had one custom order, my design aesthetic is taking form and my husband has voluntarily taken the role of business developer :) Mostly though, I've been investing my spare time into developing more inventory. If I were counting inventory based on my sketch book (my handy idea trapper keeper), I would have 100 new pieces to showcase. But let's be honest, I've since finished 8 new invitations and 3 new sets of art.
