its in the details #1

hi ya'll! today i am bringing you a brand new series i am starting called "its in the details". this new little series is basically a little post on the small details that make up our lives but are a huge part of our everyday lives they may not seem very important at moments but make up a huge part of who you are. its a great way to get to know each other on a bit more personal level.
i am super excited to start off this series with one of my favorite bloggers, amy morby from a is for ampersand. check out her... in the details!


This is a small part of my record player. My husband surprised me last Christmas with an amazing vinyl setup--a turntable, vintage receiver, and beautiful vintage speakers. As someone that requires music to function, it was the best present I ever could have asked for. I use this record player daily--I turn it on while i get ready for the day, and it's usually playing vinyl tunes all night while I blog, work on freelance designs, or sew. 

Music is my life and has always played a monumental role no matter what stage of life I'm in. I As cheesy as it sounds, I wouldn't be the person I am today without my music--in a way, music taught me how to design, made me a better designer, and continues to inspire me daily to design and live a creative life. I firmly believe a life without music just isn't worth living. :)

thanks amy! as crafters we all know how important music can be while we busy away with our hands! if you want to be a part of this fun new series email me at ccpb83(at)gmail(dot)com

have a great weekend everyone!

    I like this idea! The details are a huge part of who we are, quirks, creativity, and everything else. Wait, I actually love this idea. I'm going to email you right now.

    I simply adore the look of vintage electronics. Polished metal, chrome, and wood paneling. It's a sense of style that's long forgotten these days, and one I sorely miss. That's a particularly gorgeous Kenwood. The old blue digital display takes me back to listening to prog rock on the living room carpet with my dad as a kid.

    I've had my record player for two years now....it belonged to my father's best friend, who might as well have been my uncle, that passed away when I was 13. I got the vinyl itch (ooo that sounds kinda nasty) and my dad let me raid his collection. I AM A WOMAN OBSESSED. I love that I am sharing something with a man who is gone. Something that we probably would have enjoyed together as I had grown into adulthood. It is a part of my daily life as well and I imagine it will be something I pass on to my own kids.

    What a great picture! I am obsessed with vinyls right now! I have a very old record player. I might have to invest in a better one soon :)

    Love this series!

    Now I am wondering if I should have written a bit more with my blurb....let me know if it needs more!

    This is a fantastic way to share those moments of everyday that make the the days a little softer than they otherwise would be.

    I love Amy's post! Music is absolutely necessary in my house, so I know how she feels!

    Thanks, doll!

    This is going to be a fun series.

    I love Amy's detail and how she describes it. It makes me want to go turn put on a record. Sadly, I have a record player and some pretty awesome vinyl that I never listen to. I guess it's in an inconvenient location (our dining room) so I always overlook it. I should make it a priority to enjoy it more, because it really is so much fun.

    Hope you have a great week!
