for olive

what better way to celebrate a new home (well new to us) than with a houseguest. 

aubry came for labor day. (have i mentioned that aubry is the funnest? she's always game, even with the 5 hour drive on either end of her visit.)
she came with a car full of ikea supplies and the moral support i needed to drive the first nail. 

we shopped and baked and diy'ed late into the night.

we focused on olive's room first, and i think it turned out so sweet. the best part is that i spent $9 on supplies and the rest was stuff i had that we just re-purposed. my favorite part are the nursery rhyme cards. i picked those up years ago (pre-olive) at the biltmore in asheville, nc.

my favorite part is the lace you used to hold the penants together. it's so dainty, i could scream with daintiness.
that doesn't make any sense.
but i love it. that's the point.
