a litte makeover

November 6, 2011
november 8-13th
Who am I kidding-- this is a BIG makeover!

The amazing and wonderfully talented Suzy created my new header and sidebar illustrations and I am in love! (I tweaked the rest of the layout myself). If anyone is thinking of giving their blog a new look, I highly recommend her-- she's an amazing artist and really easy to work with.

Instead of completely revamping everything and pretending like nothing happened, I thought I'd give a little insight to the illustrations. I asked Suzy to add the books, tea, globe, and stars because I felt that together, they represented my little corner of the internet.

Books: Some of my best childhood companions. My favorite way to get lost is in a book.
Tea: I'm obsessed (especially with tea parties) and it represents my blog's "food tendencies."
Globe: For all the travels, you know?
Stars: My name, Celeste Noche, means "heavenly night." I've always admired the night sky so I think my parents did a good job naming me.

Other than that-- I hope you'll take a look around! Everything is updated and new!

PS - This is the original drawing I sent in to Suzy. It's pretty sweet that she got THAT ^^^ from this:

    I like the illustrations :) It's fun how the tea pot and tea cup seem to interact :)
