You know how Boston has gotten a hundred feet of snow this year {or at least, it seems like it}? Central Indiana has only gotten about a inch at a time {which is not enough to play in if you’re a preschooler who has their heart set on making snow angels and snowmen}, and even that was pretty icy and not very fun to play in.snow time!

But last weekend we got SNOW. I know many of you are already going without jackets and sweaters {it is March 5th, after all}, but last night we got another round of ice and snow, and I’ve decided to try to really enjoy these last few weeks of winter { and yes, I know spring is almost here – our tulips keep trying to poke through the snow and St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner :)}.DSC_0149 DSC_0150 DSC_0152 DSC_0153 DSC_0154 DSC_0155 DSC_0156

Customer love time again! I love seeing all these fun ideas, don’t you? For today’s customer love edition, I have some photos that a customer{who happens to be an event planner} sent to share with you! Paula chose a variety of our snowflake items, and used them as part of this gorgeous winter- themed “Baby It’s Cold Outside” baby shower:Baby It's Cold Outside themed baby shower | the Path Less Traveled Advice for the new parents pinboard at a Baby It's Cold Outside themed baby shower | the Path Less TraveledAdvice for the new parents pinboard at a Baby It's Cold Outside themed baby shower | the Path Less Traveled Snowflake topped stir sticks at a Baby It's Cold Outside themed baby shower | the Path Less Traveled

The snowflake stir sticks were a custom order for Paula, and they turned out so amazingly that we are planning to add them to our shop soon!

Paula shared more photos of this amazing shower here on Facebook – I love it!

our Nordstrom adventure

our Nordstrom adventure

I’ve had a bit of a love affair with Nordstrom ever since I was a small girl. My grandma used to take me there for lunch every summer when I visited her, and I have wonderful memories of the man playing the piano on the first floor, the gorgeous displays, and the amazing floor to ceiling mirrors in the ladies room {seriously, I would LOVE to have a dressing room/closet that looks just like it someday!}. These days I limit my love to mostly window shopping, and about once a year hitting Nordstrom Rack for a pair of shoes …. but I still love that store.

So, last summer I received an email from a guy who was setting up a photo shoot, and he needed 40+ of our large Origami Hanging Stars in shades of pink, and he wanted to make sure we’d be able to get them to the shoot location on the specified date, etc. Yep, that was no problem at all, and I went through all the steps of getting his custom listing prepared for him. Then he ordered, and I found out from the address that the stars were for a Nordstrom photo shoot! *squeals*Screen Shot 2015-02-21 at 7.12.03 PM

November catalog, page 24

Once I stopped squealing we got the stars ready, boxed up {18 huge boxes – they filled our family room} and dropped off with FedEx. We heard the stars arrived safely and that they were enjoyed, and then waited. And waited. Months later, we found out our stars were for their winter catalogs and ad campaign{!}, and they were gorgeous and perfect.

Now we can add “featured in Nordstrom” to our list of media features – definitely a dream come true for me!

hello {again}

hello {again}

It’s been …. awhile. Life just keeps moving, doesn’t it?

We’ve been quite busy around here since the last post {Christmas!} – adding new things, figuring out new direction to take with the shop {and if we are taking a new direction – the answer? “Sort of”}. The littles are growing {Olivia is talking!} like crazy, and I’m trying not to blink and miss this precious time.

Here are some photos of the newest additions to the shop {and some fun custom projects, too!} that I thought you might enjoy :)

DSC_0243Hopefully I’ll be able to get you caught up to speed soon {with lots of photos!}, but in the meantime,how are you? I’ve missed chatting here with you. Did you have a lovely holiday season? Make New Year’s resolutions? Are you snowed in {or experiencing 80 degree weather?}?

May your Christmas celebration be filled with true and lasting peace and joy. May you take time from the bustle to savor the treasure of this moment {that will not come again}. And may you celebrate Emmanuel truly this year.

And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

happy weekend! (and a coupon)

happy weekend! (and a coupon)

We’ve come to the end of another week – happy weekend to all you lovelies!

winter woods from the Path Less Traveled

This week we had our what might be our last gorgeous snow of the winter – I loved it. It made me think that maybe I’d enjoy living further north, where sights like this are a bit more common? Of course, I’d also like to live within walking distance of the beach … :)

Anyway … Spring is coming – in fact, tonight we’re already springing ahead with daylight savings! {something I could do without by the way, but no one asked me – seriously, who needs it to stay light until 10pm?! But I digress…}

And St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner {with Easter close behind it – wow, this year is going fast!}! Did you see that I posted a shipping deadline for it on the facebook page? Yep, if you want something from the shop to add to your celebration, you need to order by March 12. And I have a little goody for you sweet blog friends – you can use the coupon “lucky” for 20% off of anything in the St. Patrick’s Day section of the shop! It’s good until the shipping deadline {March 12} and you can use it as many times as you want {or share with your friends?}!

Also, this week we’ve added some more things to the shop! Baby things in abundance and some super cute New York Subway Map cupcake toppers, and there are even more coming :)

Don’t forget, Mona from Birds & Honey will be here later this month with a guest post – I’m so excited to see what she brings! I hope you all have a lovely, lovely weekend and am looking forward to seeing you Monday,

 

XOXO
