flowers for mother’s day

In case you haven’t heard, Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday! And of course, flowers are a classic gift {I love receiving them – do you?}.mother's day flowers via the Path Less Traveled I’ve been blessed with two sisters-in-law who are mommies, as well as a mother-in-law who lives nearby. I know it’s not always customary to give gifts to moms other than your own on Mother’s Day, but I enjoy doing it – it’s kind of a fun, low stress time of year to bless the other mothers in your life, and it always brings them joy! This years gifts are the sweetest little pots of African Violets that I found at Lowes, topped with some of my Butterfly Dessert Toppers and White Heart Dessert Toppers. By the way, did you know that the heart dessert toppers are a perfect size to write a short note on?DSC_0066I’m adding these sweet cards from Recipe For Crazy {and saving one to frame for myself – I love this print!} and I know that they will love them. Do you give gifts to mamas other than your own on Mother’s Day? Do you give matching gifts? Mix it up with gifts tailored to each mom? I’d love to hear :)

little pieces

little pieces

the photos that I capture on Instagram are just little pieces of our life, and it’s really interesting to see what moments I capture {and which ones I don’t} – of course, it seems as if {since I instagram from our iPad} I only capture the things that stand still. Which of course explains why Emma Grace, Ian and John don’t show up very often, but flowers, projects and Olivia do. :)

here are some of the little pieces of this last week:

blooms in our yard – they make me soooo happy! clockwise: anemones, our new peach tree, returning tulips and sprouting veggies. If only I could keep these lovelies all year long <3IMG_2295 packing up a bunch of Atlas Heart Cupcake Toppers – they are always so lovely!IMG_2298John turned on the radio when he arrived home Monday afternoon and my heart broke – it seems as if there has been a fresh tragedy every day to add to our prayers. It makes my heart long for heaven more, but also yearn to love my darlings that much harder. “for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a strong mind”
frametastic-1 we introduced Dessert Garlands to the site!IMG_2304 Olivia came down with a fever on Tuesday/Wednesday and then shared it with me – we are just now catching up with everything that went undone while we did extra cuddling <3IMG_2312the sewing corner – so many, many miles of garland get sewn here, so many projects for loved ones and tiny clothes made {and mended}
IMG_2313 feeling better – yay!!!I came back to my project after getting the kiddos a snack one morning to find this: a Nerf gun, dart and little boy tools mingled with the white wedding hearts ;D4bc8af3ea9d911e284fa22000a1f9c87_7 so much love! a bundle of 75 red, pink and white heart dessert toppers, each stamped with “LOVE”IMG_2328 on Saturday I was all caught up with orders {yippee!} and took the rest of the day to catch up on cleaning – and baking. Apparently, making things with sugar rests me :) then, once the littles were in bed for the night, John and I stayed up with a movie, cheesecake AND cookies and a game of Scrabble :)IMG_2329

and last, but not least, the GIVEAWAY! if you haven’t entered yet to win one of our new Gold Glitter Scallop Dessert Garlands, you might want to head over and enter :)

see you soon! <3

customer love – parties edition!

customer love – parties edition!

Each time a customer leaves a comment saying how much they love their purchase, it makes my day. I especially love it when they tell their friends and send me photos of how they have used the things that they have bought, and recently you lovelies have sent some super darling ones!
Here are a few of the most recent photos:

the red heart cupcake toppers in a fun filled owl and heart birthday – so cute!

aren’t the owls and hearts just darling together? 

It’s so simple to add a festive and patriotic touch to your desserts with the Red, White and Blue Star set – and even more striking with a miniature flag to top them off!

The red heart toppers again, this time for a little girl’s first birthday – love! The red is really striking against the colors of aqua, teal and yellow :)

The Red Heart Garland sweetening a display of photos from the baby girl’s first year – I love this idea!

the Star cupcake toppers again, this time adding a crisp and masculine touch to a little guy’s first birthday – can you see the little number “one” on the cake? I love how creative you all are!

She even used some of the star chair garlands to drape in front of {and in!} the super darling Birthday Boy vignette. Love this!

Do you have photos that you’d like to share? If so, you can either email them to me at elizabeth@pltmarket.com or tag them with #thepathlesstraveledmarket on Instagram – we’d all love to see your ideas!

Don’t forget -there are just a few hours left to save 20% using the exclusive coupon. It expires at midnight tonight! I hope you are all having a truly lovely weekend,

hearts everywhere

Today I thought I’d share a few photos of our home, which has {apparently} been subjected to an explosion of little red {and pink} hearts for Valentine’s Day <3  {warning: you are about to see a ton of photos!}

These little red hearts are showing up everywhere, from the clock by the front door …

the Path Less Traveled: hearts everywhere!

…to the shelf next to it …the Path Less Traveled: hearts everywhere!

{the heart wands in the vase can be found here and the “this is love” printable (free!) here}

…to the plates on our kitchen walls …the Path Less Traveled: hearts everywhere!

…and then everywhere in the dining room! the Path Less Traveled: hearts everywhere!

{it really is amazing how much impact a simple little pack of hearts can have!}

…even the bathroom got heart-bombed! the Path Less Traveled: hearts everywhere!

Last, but certainly not least, there’s even one on the door in from the garage to welcome my Sweetie when he gets home from work <3the Path Less Traveled: hearts everywhere!

There you have it! Hearts everywhere. You can get a similar result with just some tape, hearts and maybe a few doilies <3

p.s. I’m still looking for ideas to make this Valentine’s Day special for John and me – do you have any ideas you’d like to share? We’ll be staying home with the little ones, and other than decorating for it, I’m coming up dry!

Sweet Hearts

Sweet Hearts

I just added a new item to the shop – Heart Cupcake Toppers!

They are so sweet, and would be darling to use for birthdays, weddings, baby showers, a special tea with friends …. or just to dress up your morning muffin. : )

I have plans to add ones made from music paper, red ones and maybe more – I’ll keep you posted!

Thank you so much for following along with me here on the blog. I haven’t been the most regular of bloggers – leaving you hanging for weeks on end sometimes – but I do deeply appreciate all of you who click over and read occasionally. : )

Also, the shop has had almost 300 orders (I can barely believe it! God has been so good.) and to thank the person who places the 300th, they are going to get free shipping on their order! (the shipping fees will be refunded once the transaction has cleared)
Please feel free to share the news with your friends! :)
