toil + trouble, keeping me cozy

by k.obrien jewelry on January 25, 2012

I made a special trip home yesterday to get these lovely mitts from my mailbox. I just couldn't wait to get  my special order from Ana of toil and trouble. 
I am smitten with them. The color is perfect, the texture is divine and they are perfectly cozy.


This isn't my first positive experience with Ana. She made a lovely cowl for me back in December. There's a long story but the cowl ended up being my mother-in-law's christmas gift. My husband had already gotten me a winter cowl and gently persuaded me to hand my beloved cowl over to his mother. Once she opened it and fell in love with it herself I was happy to share Ana's handmade knits. It was well received. 

Take a look at Ana's etsy shop. You will be smitten too!
xo, kim

a little girl’s adventures

by k.obrien jewelry on January 24, 2012

My wish came true, I finally got a Jen Corace letterpress print to hang on my wall. 
I've actually had it for nearly a year now but it is newly framed and hung on my freshly painted bedroom wall. Right by my side of the bed, over my reading light, just the perfect place to inspire sweet dreams.


happy tuesday!
xo, kim

and sweet dreams. may they be full of grand adventures.
