Etsy finds

Ever since I was introduced to Etsy (Thanks to my cousin Hoolie's blog post awhile back.), I have been obsessed. Of course, I haven't really bought much from the site, but I just love looking at everything and telling everyone about it. Here are some of my etsy finds:


Here is another dress from Little Trends. Tessa wore it for one of my best friends' wedding ceremony.

I asked my Tita Lycette to check out this pattern on Etsy, and this is what she made for Tessa. I would never have been able to make it. She actually made two, but I stored one of them. Love the fabrics and love both the practicality (it's reversible!) and cuteness (the fabric combination is awesome) of the jacket!

Here is a doll that my friend customized for Tessa. She also has a store on Etsy called The Rice Babies.

Thanks Etsy for making me more addicted to searching for finds on-line!

Our Little Fashionista

My friend, Carlen, makes little trends for little girls and boys, and has been asked to make some dresses for a new store called the LBD store (aka The Little Black Dress Store). To introduce the store to the Vancouver community, LBD organized a fashion show, and Tessa, along with another cutie Ava, was asked to model Little Trends designs. Here is our little fashionista with her number one fans and her fellow models.

Happy Halloween

Happy 2nd Birthday, Tessa!

Karch and Tessa Plus Madi

Madi, Tita M, and Uncle J were here for a few days. Madi spent some time with K & T when she was here. They both enjoyed her company.

Madi acted just like a good big sister to Tessa. It was so cute seeing them interact!

Swimming

This Summer, K & T’s activity has been swimming and lots of it! So, Ray has been taking Tessa to her first swimming lessons and Karch can now take lessons on his own. It’s so awesome that they both love the water. It not only keeps them busy, but it cools them down as we experience a very unusual-for-Vancouver heatwave!

May Days

We’ve been blessed with a streak of sun recently. So, we have been taking advantage of it. Today, we, along with Dan and Erika, took Karch and Tessa to the water park. This was Tessa’s first time, but she wasn’t as into it as Karch was! The water park we went to was in a park where they were having May Days, a yearly Ladner celebration, so Karch and Tessa got to line up for some rides. Actually, Tessa could only ride the train, but Karch rode his first rollercoaster ride on his own! It was such a busy day today that K & T were zonked out so early (hence, my multiple blogs).

On a side note, Tita M had a conference here in YVR, so we spent some time with her this weekend. Too bad, we didn’t take pictures in my camera or else I would have posted them. She’ll be back in August with the rest of her family, so that’s exciting. K loved playing with Madi the last time she was here.
