Creating an online shop to sell vintage goods was like a light bulb going off in their heads- this was what they both loved to do! They are excited to start passing on great finds to other vintage lovers! What’s their favorite part of having an online shop? Making customers happy! This tooled bag, globe, and goblets make me happy and I’m sure you could find something to make you happy too!

Meet Lovenell. The story behind Lovenell is a husband and wife team,who is expecting their baby this Autumn, and they wanted to created an “honest boutique” that offered a curated collection of pretty clothes for fair prices. The name of the shop is a combination of something sweet and their last name Hartnell and so is born Lovenell. There is always a deal of the week going on in this shop and this week’s deal is really good (I’d grab one if I were you) and the rest of the shop is filled with a chock full of pretty things. This top, this clutch, and this dress are among some of my faves. What’s your favorite from the Lovenell shop?

THEY DANCED AND WE HAD DONUTS

The big girls had dance class, so the babies and I went on a donut date. Soul’s got the sweetest tooth of all, so you can imagine her excitement when we walked in and all these pretty donuts were at her eye level. We got a dozen donut holes for $1.50, which I think is a darn good deal, but then again, I haven’t bought donuts in about 10 years, so maybe that’s normal. And I must say those were the best donut holes I have ever had. Again, maybe any donut will taste good to me at this point, which now makes me curious to go to other donut shops just to compare. 
It was a nice day out of the house since we have been pretty much cooped upstairs due to the flooring changing going on downstairs. The big girls danced, the little girls had donuts (okay, Glow got hers in a donut milkshake), and that made for a good morning. 
on me: shirt, thrifted. belt, thrifted. fit to newsprint skirt, c/o modcloth. pansy flat c/o modcloth. 
on soul: dress, misha lulu. flip flops, target.
on glow: she’s been wearing that for two days. really.

This picture makes her seem so big. How did we get here so fast? I like to look back on old pictures of True and I can hardly believe she was once a little teeny baby and my one and only one for, oh, about 6 months until I got pregnant again (Brave was a surprise!). She changes Soul’s diaper (pee only) and she is a little writer. She loves to write stories. We like reading them. Future blogger?! Maybe.

What’s this girl’s favorite thing to do during lunch time at school? Walk around the playground collecting rocks and sticks. She always comes home with quite the collection.

p.s. make sure you check out misha lulu’s new site. it always gets better and better.
