One thing I love, I mean really love, is finding a product I adore that’s handmade.
I love supporting artist & even better, other moms who are using their talents to make a buck.
Awhile ago I was blog surfing when I came across a room makeover post & on the little girl’s bed was a pink pillow with a kangaroo on it. Yup, a kangaroo. I had to have it. Luckily the blogger had a source list & that brought me straight to Jane Isa.
I emailed Jane asking if she could do the same fabulous hot pink pillow with gold piping but instead of a pink embroidered kangaroo could she do our portrait of our cat Rose. She was not only super excited about the project but even let me send her a picture of Rosy so she could get it just right. And boy did she do just that. Sam was over the moon when she saw it on her bed. While I was there, because I can’t just buy one thing, ever, I also ordered a stitched picture of a golden retriever so Luc wouldn’t feel left out. She’s a bit sensitive. Instead of a pillow this time she put Lu’s big mug on a canvas that now sits proudly on our bookcase.
I just love the humor & kitschy feel these items bring to the house. That’s how I like my house…not too serious while still being stylish. Jane Isa is just that. Go check out her Etsy site, it’s totally worth a look.
That’s adorable! What a great idea!! Although, kangaroos are cute..a personalized one is super neat!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that dog portrait!! The cat is adorable also, I’ve just always have been more of a dog person, personally. I ordered an ASL “I Love You” pillow for my hubby (he always makes that sign), and as an aspiring blogger I’m always glad to see things I adore being found by others, and vice versa. Wish I had more time to blog, but all in due time I’m sure I’ll get it full swing ahead! Keep up the great work!! Your home looks BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks so much Leighann! And thanks so much for supporting handmade items, I totally want to get the i love you sign pillow too!!
OMG. I think we need to stop and talk about that beautiful portrait on the last picture! I think it’s Sophie but I could be wrong. Either way, it’s beautiful! Your kids are adorable. I stalk them on your instagram too! (Creepy, much? Lol) Seriously though, your kids are just the cutest!
Aww, you’re so sweet & don’t worry, I totally stalk them too. (; And good eye, that is indeed princess sophie. That is, I assume you’re not talking about the dog…
