It’s been a while since I’ve done a “What I Wore” post and I have to admit, the longer I wait to post one, the more intimidated I get to show what I wear. Because let’s be honest, I am not a fashionista and most of my clothes come straight from the thrift store. But here […]

Things have been really busy in the shop the past few weeks, and it’s been a challenge getting everything done that needs to be done. In other words, the house needs to be cleaned, the fridge is pretty empty, and the flower beds outside desperately need attention. But despite all that, I found time to […]

I just created a few new prints for my Etsy shop! The first one is inspired by this t-shirt which is also in my shop. Watercolors have become my new creative outlet (in case you haven’t noticed). I created a print with my watercolor of a world map. You can find it in my shop here. The […]

Christmas is fast approaching and we’ve created a very LIMITED number of holiday signs that are ready-to-ship! Here are the two that we have available. The “Joy to the World” sign is available here. The “Glory to the Newborn King” sign is available here. And just a note about orders for Christmas, I can’t believe […]

Hubs and I spent part of last week in Charleston, SC to celebrate our 15th anniversary, and we had such a great time! The city is beautiful, the beaches were so peaceful, but my favorite part? The people! They were so incredibly friendly! I had never visited the South before and it has a piece […]

So a few weeks ago my husband brought home an old armoire that he saw setting along the side of the road for free. Be jealous, ladies, he is mine. It looked really sad and this is the only picture I took of it before I gave it a much-needed makeover. It is a very sturdy, non-smelly piece […]

I’ve added a few new signs to the shop this morning… The “Love the Lord your God” sign is available here. And you can find the “Enjoy the little things” sign here. If you are thinking about ordering a sign as a Christmas gift, I would strongly recommend you order it soon! We are filling […]

After many requests, I designed an anchor t-shirt as part of our adoption fundraiser, and they are now available in my Etsy shop! The anchor shirts are available in soft cotton navy and in a flattering v-neck women’s cut which runs pretty true to size. I also still have my other t-shirts available in the […]

I created an arrow out of branches for the nursery and thought I’d share how I did it. It was really very easy. Here’s what you’ll need: -cardboard cut into the shape that you want -thin branches -hot glue I cut a piece of cardboard into the shape of an arrow and gathered thin branches […]

Four years ago we renovated a storage room in the upstairs of our house into a nursery for Jack. Here is what we had to work with. Think paneling on the walls, ugly stained tile ceiling, concrete floor, a door leading to nowhere… After a lot of work we turned it into a nursery, and […]

Hey friends! I am having an Instagram sale on some of my gently used clothes today! In case you are interested, head over to my new Instagram account @shopaimeescloset.

Tonight is our little town’s annual parade, and it feels like fall is officially here! I like to keep things very simple when I’m decorating for the different seasons. For fall this year, I mostly just bought pumpkins, cut hydrangeas, branches, and fountain grass from the back yard, and used some wood crates. This is […]
