oh, fantastic.

i just went to see Fantastic Mr. Fox with my friend joe. roald dahl is one of my favorite childhood authors, but this is one of his books that i never read. it's such a cute, imaginative story, and the stop animation in the film is pretty incredible. i have no idea how long it took to make the movie, but it's pretty visually stunning. go see it if you haven't yet. i chuckled through the whole thing -- especially at jason schwartzman's character, ash. he is seriously perfect in every movie.

i've been working my way through a few special orders. it feels good to check things off of a list, and that's the way i operate. here are my most recent check-offs:

the fourth and final headband for one of my friend debbie's daughters.

(i can't wait to hear about their christmas morning!)

an order from my friend tori. it's a christmas gift for her sister.

(she requested earth tones, blue, and buttons. i hope her sister likes it!)

and then a couple new headbands just for fun. these will be available on etsy soon!

blue and gold pheasant band.

brown, cream, and yellow wrap-around feather band.

oh! one more thing. i have spent hours on a fruitless click-and-search journey to find a new coat. just when i was about to give up, i found this little gem from charlotte rousse:

my size isn't in, but as soon as it is, it will be mine. oh yes, it will be mine. (name that movie and win a prize.)
