frog collection: vintage edition

just a couple weeks ago i "showed off" my little frog collection. and now it's time to show you my biggest {and most favoritest} one!

the vintage frog pitcher:

i got it over 10 years ago {a christmas gift from mom}

i''m really quite taken with it. how many people do you know with crazy awesome animal pitchers?!

and then a couple years later, i got the rest of the set...
{how cute is this little guy?}

i love the colors. and the whole lilly pad thing.

hubby thinks they're kitschy, but of course i don't see anything wrong with that! so the pitcher is out on display, the sugar bowl is in use on the counter, and the mugs are all in the cabinet.

so, i think this concludes my collection. i'm sure i've got a few other frogs floating around somewhere, but nothing else worth showing.

mail surprise!

i checked the mail yesterday and was surprised by this package, from who else but my bestie! i have never run up the stairs to open something so fast in my life.

and of course, what is a best friend for but to indulge your weird obsession with vintage frogs {especially in mug form!} 

i love it- so much character :)

{remind me some time to show you the rest of my froggy collection}

topped off with these goodies:

oh sarah, you're the best!

new favortites

i don't usually post this kind of stuff, but walking around aggieville this week i've spotted some great finds, and even though my birthday isn't until april {april fool's, to be exact} i thought i'd let you all in on my budding "gift list": {really it's all just an excuse to show you what i like}

love this mug. a lot.

coffee mug

i'm working like crazy right now to get make stuff for my shop (thanks for all the encouraging words)
. but for now i'd like to introduce you to my new best friend and constant companion:
my coffee mug!


i love it. it's huge, it's from my sister-in-law's trip to london and it is constantly filled with tea.
to be specific, either herbal peppermint, honey vanilla white tea chai, or sleepytime (chamomile, spearmint, lemongrass) (all by celestial seasonings, all with a touch of honey.)

my asthma has been horrible since we moved and tea makes it all better :)
(not really, but it helps)
