Happy Saturday!

I’ve been waiting a couple of weeks for this weekend off to work on my website. I planned on shutting myself up in my studio for hours on end, only coming out to eat and clearly not taking the time to shower because who would see me and who would care? Well, I finished my redo in a matter of a few hours! And it would have been even less had I not had to do a little bit of troubleshooting with the software. So without further ado here’s the new site! (Click the image to be transported to the magical land of amandarae.com)

I hope you love it because I do! It’s finally what I’ve been wanting it to be. And seriously a HUGE shout out to David Jay and Show It Sites for making it possible for me to create a website all on my own and to be able to change it whenever my ADD demands that I do!

Since I found myself having much more time on my hands than I had planned for I figured I would show you a few other things I’ve been eyeing on Etsy.

For three years I’ve been looking for a new chandelier for my living room. The current chandelier that came with my house has pineapples on it. Really. Pineapples. Not good. I’ve been wanting a chandelier like this one:

I also think this would be cool in a corner somewhere:

And while not a lighting fixture I’ve had my eye on these for awhile. I was trying to convince Erika to use these instead of the extremely laborious flower balls we ended up making (shown underneath).

Find PomPoms here. By PomLove. Templates for flower balls available at Paper Source.

I hope everyone else is having a fabulous Saturday! I’m going to try to make it to the post office now and then see if I have time to create a new blog header. Ciao!
