Oh Hey, I've Moved!

I've actually moved all my blogging to my professional photography & creative styling website & blog, www.ashleylynnfry.com 

You should come check it out & say hi ! I'd love to see you! 

Or you can always also come say hi, connect with me or follow me on

Yay August! (Goodbye July!)

July was a REALLY rough month for me. Lots of bad & very little good. 

Thankfully it is over now & I am certainly hoping that August will prove to be much, much better.

Thank God for my sunshine, Gracelyn she makes me smile, every. single. day. 

My very bad month had its last straw the other night when I locked my keys in the trunk of my car while running errands. Gracie & I waited for Daddy to come to the rescue in a little alcove in the shopping center & Gracie as always made me smile as I snapped photos with my iPhone. 

In fact, I actually laughed out loud at one point as her facial expressions were basically matching the situation we found ourselves in perfectly.

This is her "What? You locked the keys in the car!?" face...

Followed by her "We have to wait how long for Daddy to rescue us?!" face...

And then her "I have accepted our situation & thank God you brought milk & snacks." face...

Finally her "Don't worry Mama, it will be ok & I will be sure to make you SMILE." face...

Gah! I just LOVE that little munchkin of mine!

To read more about what added to my very bad July head on over here...

Vintage Moon Globe.

Did you know there was such a thing as a moon globe!? 

I surely didn't until I spotted this gorgeous vintage piece on Etsy...

There is no room in the budget to buy it now so I guess I'll be adding this to the list of awesome things to track down for my personal collection!

More vintage awesomeness from Bellalulu here.

Weekend Snippets.

Just a few snippets of the past weekend...

We had a great one filled with lots of creativity (more on that later), yard sales, pool time, breakfast, dinner, brunch & gelato! 

I hope you had a great weekend too!

Nane Handmade.

These fun, fresh keychains from Nane Handmade make me happy. 

(and of course it doesn't hurt that an "a" shown as the monogram keychain example)

Oh, I just love it when I randomly stumble upon awesomeness & get to share it immediately!

Get yours here.

Gracelyn Turns One.

Our girl turned one just a few short weeks ago! Gah. I still can't believe how fast she is growing...

Anyway, before I get all wordy & choked up thinking about how fast my girl is growing, here is a peak into the little shin-dig we had at my parent's house to celebrate Gracie turning the big ONE!

As you can see, I made the theme of the party pretty simple- Gracelyn. I mean it was her day, right?

So I went with little Gracie heads with party hats as the main decor (inspiration for those found here) & a cake for the girl of honor with a giant "G" for Gracelyn of course...

I also had a strawberry flavored cake made since strawberries are her fave. 

Trust me, this girl could & would eat a whole pint of strawberries in one sitting if I'd let her... 

All in all it was a great day & even though she was teething & without a nap our little babe partied like a pro & even posed for some photographs which made me one happy Mama.

Happy Birthday Gracelyn! I can't wait to throw you more parties in the years to come!

Yesterday Was A Beautiful Day.

Just a few photographs I took yesterday while Gracie & I were on our walk to the park of the trees that are starting to bloom. Oh so pretty. Blue skies & blooms. What is not to love?

Beautiful Scarf.

When I logged into Pinterest this morning & spotted this image pinned by Victoria I was just like, "Ooooo so pretty!"...

Then I realized it was actually a scarf & not just a painting & I got very excited! In case you don't know I'm a scarf fiend, I have lots & lots. I wear one almost every day. (I'm wearing one now!) So naturally I clicked right over to the original source, Ship & Shape, to see if I could get my hands on this lovely piece.  But alas, she is sold out...

But that got me thinking, can I make this myself? I mean, I've dyed things before & my in-laws have a ton of 5 gallon buckets my sister-in-law & I have used before to tie dye. So perhaps when the weather is a bit warmer it is time to give this a whirl? 

(Arielle, I'm looking at you!)

It certainly won't be as luxe & probably no where near as pretty as the original but for the price of dye & fabric why not give it a shot, right? 

Have you ever dyed anything like this before? (Tips & tricks are very much appreciated!)

Happy.

There is little more in this world that makes me happier than when this girl of ours smiles & giggles. Gosh I just LOVE her! Did I mention she turned ONE this past Tuesday?! I can hardly believe it. 

Time truly does fly... I really have to start writing more down. 

Don't get me wrong, I've documented things well with photographs but I think they probably need sort some musings to go with them.
