Decorating the nursery has been so much fun for Jason and I. The one thing I wanted about my home is that every room tells a story; the nursery is no different. I want my child to grow up with every piece in their room having a meaning/ spawning a memory. I think shopping locally is one of the ways to make pieces meaningful. I have bought several pieces at a wonderful shop in Terre Haute, IN called
Modern Charm. 
. Their Facebook page has great updates on their products but you really have to check it out in person. Continue to buy local. It is important to support local businesses and continue to grow our community. So here is the fun stuff that I have so far bought up from the local artists featured at Modern Charm.

This is going to be framed most likely by the rocking chair or over the bookshelf. The Collective Letter Press is a company in Bloomington, IN. They use actual antique letter presses for some of their creations. What a great creative local company, with a great message!
Who doesn't love different colorful stuffed animals to decorate a window seat. These little guys made their debut in another post with our niece and nephew. The red owl is from a company called Bean Blossom. The yellow and gray owl is from a new artist that I saw at the Covered Bridge festival and the next week she was at Modern Charm as well. The elephant was created by A Twisted Thread.
I also purchased some burp cloths. So cute and they have so many great kids products. Check them out at etsy, online, or Modern Charm. bobaloo!
I have along the way purchased some really cute baby shower gifts here as well. So if you get a chance and are local check it out!
I leave you all with a last little paragraph about decorating a nursery when you are adopting... there is about 50/50 split on whether to decorate a nursery or not. I know you have heard me say this before but again "DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT TO YOU!" We love adding pieces to nursery throughout our process. It is hard to find items that are truly gender neutral which is also why it is hard to have a baby registry. Some couples or individuals that are adopting may struggle if they start decorating a nursery. You really need very little to bring a baby home so if you do not want to start a nursery yet don't worry your baby is not messing out on anything. The will have all of the comforts and necessities with somewhere to sleep, something to eat, a few onsies and sleepers, and a loving parent(s). We feel closer on our journey with each piece we add to the nursery and it really brings us great joy right now. Our baby is already growing in our heart, in our life, so we figure why not in our home;)
