Good Morning!

Big news friends! Stella Jane inc. is now on Etsy!! I'll be using my Etsy shop to feature new headband designs and take orders. I'd love you for you to check it out and give me some feedback. I'll be doing my best to update the shop as much as possible with new creations. You can click on the banner below and it will take you directly to the shop. Thanks for visiting! (and unfortunately my sister was unavailable to model headbands like she did last time, so I had to :/)

Two of my favorite emails this week came from Martha. One was a craft for a fall garland and the other for the quintessential glittered pumpkins. I know some of you have made your own glittered pumpkins before with great success!

The garland seems pretty easy to make (the close-up photo helps):

"Create a seasonal garland to drape around the doorway using multicolored decorative dried corn.

Space cobs 6 to 8 inches apart on a length of raffia (available at crafts stores), tying it around each piece where the husk meets the kernels.

The cobs will hang vertically; if you'd like them to be horizontal (as shown in the center of garland), tie the tip of each cob to the husk of the next using floral wire."

Here is the link for the glittered pumpkins. I know other people have featured this craft on their blog before so I decide to show the garland in more detail. The pumpkins are adorable though and I'm def. going to consider making those!

Happy Tuesday Evening!

Thanks for thinking of L today! The recruitment fair went better than expected and he has a job interview tomorrow!! Can you believe it?? We are super excited because we didn't really expect something like this to happen until closer to graduation. So if I may request something of you for a second day in a row--can we say another little prayer friends? Thanks much!

Moving on to other business, I'm posting a recipe I love to make because its so good and super duper EASY!! Maybe you can use it for your Wednesday menu.

Chicken Georgia
-1/2 stick butter
-4 boneless chicken breast halves
-1 cup fresh mushrooms
-2 tablespoons minced shallots (I usually use onion because I always have it on hand and don't always have shallots)
-1/4 teaspoon (each) salt and pepper
-4 oz. grated mozzarella cheese

Melt butter over medium heat, add mushrooms and shallots and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 10 minutes. Add chicken cook 10 min on each side or until tender. Transfer chicken to platter and sprinkle with grated cheese. Top with mushroom/shallot mixture. Let stand for 5 minutes or until cheese melts.

Enjoy!

Good Morning Friends!

Yesterday was Ashley's second bridal shower and I wanted to share a picture of the blushing bride to be with my gift:
I mentioned before getting the popcorn popper with some cute popcorn boxes and a neflix gift certificate as a shower gift. So I packaged all that up and I think Ashley and Manolo will get a lot of use out of this :)

In other news, I have turned on comment approval because I was spammed overnight in the comment department. I'll approve all comments unless you send me chinese characters. K thanks!

L has a big recruiting fair tomorrow that will at the very least, help him secure a full time internship for this coming summer, and at most, help him make some contacts that could lead to job or co-op right now. Please say a prayer around 10 tomorrow morning--we'd appreciate it!!


Have a good Monday! Follow me on twitter to keep up with me during the day @ehkinsey ;)

OK so I know I introduced you all to Raleigh earlier today but I have to add a little addendum because she's just that cute!! I got to hold her for about 45 minutes today and I honestly could have held her all darn day...can't wait to see her again this weekend!
