hehe! my friend amelia sneakily purchased a top from my etsy shop last week and sent me this amazing thank you note yesterday! she is kindly allowing me to brag away by showing it off here…but seriously! it’s too cute to keep to myself. thank *you* amelia!

in other news, i finally got those new liberty print undies in the etsy shop! the print is called “Amberina” and the undies come in three sizes and three color combinations. ive been told the print is not being made any more, so this might be it! i managed to order more of the blue, but wasn’t able to snag the multi or pink, so if you dig ‘em, have at it before they go the way of the carousel horse! poor carousel horse…

lastly and randomly, you know that (admittedly awesome) must-have poster that’s making the rounds with the slogan “keep calm and carry on”? that’s all well and good, a fine motto really, but somehow it hasn’t really Stuck with me. what i do find myself repeating (silently, mostly) is the slightly wackier version offered up by Of Montreal in their song, “forecast fascist future”; “may we never go go mental, may we always stay stay gentle” yep. find myself repeating this probably more often than is healthy. such a good message though.
