What the wha?? Typewriter Boneyard is featured on Decurate this week! You can read Philip's story here. You can see what's for sale here.

In other news..I'm about to head to down to the leasing office of our future home to sign all of our paperwork. Yes, we found a loft! It's actually not the one from before that I said was perfect. It's a different building all together and even better than the first. (What a blessing!!) We couldn't be more excited about this new place and I can't wait to share what it looks like!

Happy Friday.

life lately.

Most of our days involve some of the following: cutting wire, staining handles, cutting out the insides of books, soldering, buying drill presses, doing photo shoots, building websites, and wishing we were sleeping more. It's been busy, but the end results have been worth it.

All of Philip's lamps are turning out beautifully. In a few weeks, he will be selling them through fab. It's so exciting, but lots of work. Guess what? When it's over, we're taking a few days off to relax. We haven't decided what exactly, but have discussed a few things: staying in a fancy hotel, riding bikes on Coronado, getting massages, eating out every night, seeing a few movies, or maybe a little shopping...and we can't forget: sleeping in.

Shop Update

Well hello there. I put up some new lamps in my shop today, and re-photographed some existing ones because the pictures were bad. Yes, Philip here, posting on the blog :) I've been ordering in bulk recently, trying to stock up for the upcoming (potential, not 100% confirmed) TV spot on HGTV the day after Thanksgiving. I'm pretty excited and scared... not sure what to expect.

On a different note, I'm trying to figure out how to build a proper light-box to shoot photos of our stuff indoors. The daylight is getting slimmer and slimmer... by the time I'm home from work, it's already gone! If you have an ideas, please let me know :)

Take a look... Tell a friend..

A special thank you to my co-worker Courtney for being so bored at work that she offered to cut out a few books for me!

we're back.

So many exciting things going on around here this week. It's just that were out of town and without Internet. Now I get to share them with you :)








I was so giddy tonight when I was visiting 100 layer cake and happened to spot one of my ring bearer book stacks!! Remember Kristen and Ben? Well, their GORGEOUS wedding was posted today. You should definitely check out the post. There's a lot of beautiful pictures. They did everything themselves, the location is just breath taking, and everyone looked fantastic!

Also, we wanted to say a huge thank you to Rebecca for posting about Philip's shop. She bought a lamp after one of her sweet readers sent her the link. The name of the book was Archer in Hollywood. Her sons name is Archer and they live up in LA, so it was a perfect fit :)








Speaking of lamps, Philip has some new pieces in the shop. There were more but they've been selling within hours of him listing them!








And lastly, one of my boutonierres was featured on Emmaline Bride this week. They did a woodland inspiration post and I got to be apart of it. Emma was sweet enough to invite me to be a featured artist for their site. They just recently had a make over and it looks great! Check them out for great wedding ideas!

We're adjusting to having to get back to our daily routine. Part of that for me is being consistent with the blog, which I'm slowly getting better at. Check back this week for shop updates and other exciting things. Good night.

New lamps!

Philip has added some new hardback book lamps to the shop!

..this one is my favorite :)

Our living room has been a disaster the past few days with my projects and pieces of these lamps everywhere....but I always LOVE how they turn out and am SO proud of my husband so it's worth it :)
