Boca Mocha + Harry Potter

A few days ago, Blake and I tried a new coffee shop in downtown Springfield (as if it needed another one...). It's called Boca Mocha, and it took the place of my favorite coffee shop, Rendezvous. Walking in, I was so excited to see all the changes the new owners had made - the atmosphere was completely different and it's all so bright and airy! I absolutely can't wait for Colby to come back so he and I can go together. Rendezvous was our favorite to go to, so maybe this can be our new favorite!
I'm a coffee girl, but I got a peach smoothie (I'm on a smoothie kick lately, I got one today too!). It was so. yum.

I definitely wanted to go back today for my smoothie fix, but they're not open on Sundays. Sad face. Maybe next time!
Blake and I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 last night.... and again this afternoon. We loved it! Blake is a huge Harry Potter fan, so obviously he loved it a bit more than I did, but I still enjoyed it. I've never read the books, but I've seen all of the movies. Earlier this year, I started reading the first book, but never finished. Maybe I'll start it again this week? Have any of you seen it yet??

p.s. I made this wreath for mine and Anna's home! What do you think? I'm pretty much in love with it.

Etsy Update.

It seems as if a lot of you are interested in me reopening my Etsy!

This makes me *very* happy. Its been about a year since I had one, so it'll take a while to get back into the swing of things.

The way its going to work is I'll probably put up listings for paintings I already have done, but I'll put up more listings for custom paintings. Commissioned artwork is where my heart lies! I love working with people and producing something we both created.

I might also venture into hair accessories.. someday. I've kind of been messing with that sort of stuff lately, so my shop may include all of that eventually.

Okay. I'm off to Florida this afternoon, so as soon as I get back, I'll get to work on listing things for you guys. :)

P.s. I got feather extensions this morning! This is a bad representation of them, but they're so cute in person!

Leaving + Etsy?

The blog may be silent for a few days. I'm leaving for Florida tomorrow and I'll be gone until next Saturday! I'll try to update sometime in between - but I'll be chillin on the beach, so don't expect too much out of me :)

I have been toying around with the idea of reopening an Etsy to sell my paintings and such... I have a ton more free time now, and I would like to get back into painting.

What do you think? ♥

the itch.

I want, want, WANT to cut my hair so bad!! Like, chop it off!
Much like this...

Breigh and I pretty much switched hairstyles. My hair kept growing, and she cut all of hers off!

But anywho... I am setting up a much needed hair appointment with Miss Sarah very soon. I doubt I'll do anything drastic, just get some of the dead ends and nastiness off! :)
I took some laaame photos today:

and then... the other night, I made this:

I also made one for Tyler's 6 year old niece. She and I are pretty tight, via mailing junk to each other. :)

This was a fairly pointless post. Mostly because I did absolutely nothing productive with my day.

Maybe tomorrow will be better?!

:)

Much love!
