moving day.

i have a confession to make. sometimes, on the days when the kiddos are with their other parents (you know i have one & he has one too, and occasionally they are with their mama & daddy at the same time), the boy & i sleep in. like really in. like to noon or later. today was one of those days. we wake up to sun shining bright & hot right into our bedroom, through the blinds.
anyway, so we are getting a late start on moving today. even though we have only lived in our fabulous current home for about 9 months or so, some things changed & we had to move again. it's ok. all the changes were totally positive & it allowed us to find our new home, which we adore & hopefully will be in for several years, at least. it's a lovely two story built into a hillside. the bedrooms are downstairs tucked into the hillside & you almost get the feeling that you're going down into a cave when you head down there. i love it! my other favorite things about our new love nest: the super huge kitchen (we love to create meals together) & the big balcony that stretches the length of the house. we will be doing mucho entertaining out there before the summer ends. we love a good cookout with our awesome friends!
so, i suppose i need to put the laptop down & go help muscle man move some boxes. i'm about ready to quit living with half our belongings in one house & half in the other!
i will leave you with some images that describe today. source

good news wednesday!

greetings & salutations, friends!
we've got some good news for you tonight. since we are still working on shopebv{dot}com, & because it's taking longer than originally anticipated, we decided veer off the paved road a little & do something new. we were accepted as a seller over on market publique, & we are pleased to announce that we have just listed some items up for sale there. if you have never shopped market publique, you just gotta! it's set up very similar to ebay, but it's only for vintage. it's very cutesy too, & we appreciate that. you can click here to see everything i've listed for sale today.
we're excited about this new sales outlet. depending on how it goes, we may continue to use it even after our webshop is done. we shall see! email me if you have any questions about anything: savannah@shopebv.com
cheers,
savannah
