Lets Go For a Ride

I made my first baby purchase last week. I am patiently waiting for the arrival of this piece of art and inspiration for baby #3's nursery. I had a general idea of what I wanted and was pleasantly surprised when it didn't take too many hours of searching to find exactly what I was looking for. My search started and ended with one of my favorite sites, Etsy. I have bought a lot of things off of this site from cookies to party decorations. 

The specific shop was called pixieblossoms and it carried a variety of whimsical carnival prints. I found the most perfect shot of a ferris wheel with beautiful colors and character and instantly knew it was the one I wanted for our baby. Here's hoping that delivery won't take too long because I cannot wait to see what the final product looks like and get it hanging on the wall! Baby on the other hand can keep me waiting until July!
