We hope everyone had a happy, restful (tipsy? that’s okay!) Thanksgiving – and Hanukkah! – and allowed yourselves to brush off the every day worries, at least for a little while. Now that the turkey has officially been consumed, I can openly enjoy holiday music without Scott’s constant chiding, but it’s too early! (I realize the […]

Merry Christmas, Deer.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a fun, restful, holly jolly Christmakuh to you! We wish you a day of fun, family and friends (or at least 2 of the 3, depending on your idea of fun, right?), and at the very least, we hope you load up your dessert plate. We’re looking forward to spending […]
Brown Paper Packages
Growing up, I was always tasked with gift wrapping for the entire family – gifts to my mom from my dad, gifts from my sister to our brother, and even gifts from my siblings to me. Funny, I couldn’t stand it at the time, but I realize it was because I was the only one […]
The Loot
Even as vendors in the Renegade Fair, we like to take a moment or two to find our own loot to bring home – usually in the hopes of knocking out our Christmas list. This year, I found myself justifying one too many purchases for myself (ah, well), but we did officially cross off a […]
Thank You, Thank You
It’s been a tough handful of weeks, but as we ready ourselves to a full day of grazing and lazing with some of our best friends this Thanksgiving holiday, we know there’s so much to be thankful for. Thrown in with our recent rocky road has been a lot of good, too – our warm […]
Painted: Chloe, & 3 Pet Shop Holiday Announcements!

After sifting through photos of this sweet girl in everything from jailbird gear to tiaras, we settled on a recurring theme: Chloe’s […]
Red, White & Blue
We’ll be braving today’s heat at the beach, where we’ll likely spend all our time in the water (!). We may sneak a peek at our pin boards to find something tasty to bring to an afternoon barbecue, and we’ll end the day with a late night walk to the lake shore to watch the […]
Renegade 2.0
You guys, it’s here. The Renegade Holiday Market is in Chicago this weekend! We’re back for round 2 as vendors (you can see how it went down last year, right here), and we’re bursting to get this show on the road, so to speak. For those that have been to the Market in years past, […]
Mummified
Happy Halloween, fools.
A Christma-versary Tradition
When we honeymooned two Novembers ago, the wife and I made an iron-clad pact to spend each subsequent anniversary away from home. We’re not big souvenir collectors around here, but when we spent our first year celebrating in Nashville, we found the ultimate memento in this Christmas ornament. It seemed we were on to something.
