- Vintage roller derby photos from 1948! (via Victoria)
* p.s. I settled on a derby name. I’m “Elle DeGore.” - I found another floor lamp I like. This one’s even more expensive. Curses.
- Here’s a really fun painting project! Maybe for a bathroom, or the inside of a closet?
- Read this.
I also write for Babble’s Family Style blog. Here’s what I’ve been sharing there…
- These have me dreaming of all kinds of family traditions.
- Did you see my huge recap of the best of the Renegade Craft Fair? The show was so good this year.
- For your precious cargo.
- I did a little mother/daughter take on September’s style post. It’s cute! Matching without being too matchy.
- My favorite one-piece outfit for babies. So simple, so classic.

September 19, 2011 at 5:04 pmDear Mrs. Elle De Gore,
I had to force myself to stop looking at factory20 because they seem to understand what I want very well, but rather unfortunate, not the capability of my wallet.

September 23, 2011 at 12:54 amA slight safety issue as paper candle holders! Could be great as just decor though.
