Happy Birthday Elmo!

Today I am a proud Furmama to a one year old mini dachshund! My little puppy Elmo has been blessing this earth with cuteness, laughter, and joy for a whole year today!

And what a year it has been. This little dog has been carted across the country - twice - and probably seen more states than most people have. He's been on emergency vet visits for everything from allergic reactions to a dog bite, and come out with the battle scars to prove it. And he's most definitely chewed his way through almost everything we own.

But most of all, he's stolen our hearts. I never thought of myself as a dog person until we adopted Elmo. Now I find myself watching The Dog Whisperer, planning my day around dog walks, and cutting my social engagements short to get home to my little man.

I am so blessed to have two amazing men in my life - and one just happens to be an 11 pound fur ball with the cutest face on the planet. So here's to Elmo, the big dog in a little dog's body...May you live many more healthy and happy years with us! We love you!

Eternal Eden's Blogspot gets a Makeover!

Every girl loves a makeover! Sometimes you just need to change something - even if it is just the color of your hair or eyeshadow. I made myself over not too long ago, went from blonde to brunette all because of a tiny little thing called a birthday...

 
While Eternal Eden's makeover is not motivated by crisis, it is motivated by a desire to make this blog the best it can be: A sweet little oasis of beauty in a world sometimes lacking it.

I have a fascination with cherry blossoms. Their delicate, porcelain grace and vulnerable beauty has always spoken to my heart. That's one of the reasons I created these lovely little Cherry Blossom Earrings.

So when I ran across this template with these gorgeous blues and pinks and a slight vintage feel, it was love at first sight! Many thanks to Emporium Digital for designing this amazing template.

I hope everyone is enjoying their short work week :) Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think of the makeover!

Le Printemps est Arrivé!

Ok so, yes I know spring has NOT in fact arrived. And I do believe our little friend the groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter yesterday...But no matter! In my happy little Neverland (aka my work studio) spring has indeed arrived!

I've been working on some hair pieces recently, which means every flat surface in my Neverland is overflowing with gorgeous silk flowers right now. They looked so pretty I had to snap a few pictures!

And then of course I had to make something with these pretties! Using buttons from my mom's vintage button collection that she gave me (talk about gold mine!) I created these little darlings...

                                                                        

 

I am having so much fun with this little project, I think I might just have to keep expanding this section of my shop! Happy un-Spring everyone!
