I was inspired by Elsie's post over at A beautiful Mess to share a few secrets! I think secrets are magical if they are not hurtful! ;)

1. I have ALWAYS wanted a Volkswagen beetle. I now own one! :)
2. I really don't LOVE red unless it is Valentine's day.
3. Not a fan of spicy anything.
4. I felt like I never fit in growing up in my small hometown.
5. I have always been proud of the fact that I was born in New Jersey.
6. has few "TRUE" friends... but the ones I have I LOVE dearly
7. plays with dolls! (Blythe dolls that is)
8. likes to spend money a little too much.
9. has a "crush" on a boy I once was good friends with(Yes I am married.. I said crush!)
10. sometimes is full of anxiety & can be very insecure!


Happy Sunday! If you would like to play along.. feel free! :)

Is it spring yet?????

I have been a bit MIA! I felt great yesterday then went to bed & woke up in the middle of the night with a sore throat!:( My face is still swollen..which makes it quite challenging to eat, so with that I have been just trying to take it easy!



I am soooo ready for spring! How about you???? I can't wait for bike rides, daisies & outdoor dinners. xo!

Whitney & her new glasses! ♥

I just got these ADORABLE glasses for Whitney on Etsy! I think they are the cutest.. I had to share! ;)

I am going to head to the shop in a bit. My face is pretty swollen.. and it is pretty uncomftorable but I feel good other than that! I plan on staying open 10-3 unless I start feeling bad again! Wish me luck! It is not fun having three chins & hardly being able to open my mouth! :(


Have a great day! xo!

My Etsy shop & Wisdom teeth...

I know.. totally random right??? Well I survived getting my wisdom teeth out & it was not so bad! I am a little sore today... but I feel really good! I took the day off from the shop to rest and ice my cheeks! ;) I guess I had the hiccups like mad after which is kind of funny & I called my Mom w/ a mouth full of gauze.. that must of made for an interesting conversation! Lol!


I will be back at the shop tomorrow 10-4 . I am trying to get lots done today.. I just posted lots of great new things in my Etsy shop including fancy headbands, clutches, granny purses & not to forget my new headbands for Blythe!

I have plans on keeping my shop full and hopefully if I can get caught up on skirts they will make an appearance soon too! To visit my Etsy shop click here or visit the side bar. :)

Hope your Tuesday is a great one! xoxo!

My new hobby! ♥

I could not stop making cute Blythe headbands last night. Most of them are made with vintage trims and buttons.. making them limited edition or even one of a kind! ;) I am sooo happy with them! I filled my Etsy shop up with cute Blythe headbands. They are ready to ship (overseas too)!

Have a great weekend!

I am getting my wisdom teeth out Monday so my Brick and Mortar shop will be closed Tuesday & possibly Wed.

xoxo!

New headbands....

My friend Mindy has been working on some new designs.. initial pendants which are adorable, as well as many new headbands. I loooove the velvet ones! We have them in a few different colors.



(I had to buy the olive one!)



She also made some cute large button headbands. Sooo very cute! Check out her etsy shop for her handstamped jewelry.

New Owl hair accessories.....

I made up some new hair accessories with cute lil' owls and pretty flowers! I think they turned out sooo cute! I decided to make the accessories card a little more Valentine inspired. They would make the sweetest of Valentine gifts! ;)



p.s. I apologize for leaving the shop a bit early yesterday.. My kids get a ride home and long story short I had to go and pick them up.

Happy Wednesday! xo!

Hair clips & Blythe clothes...

Hair clip sale... All fabric button hair clips at my shop are $2.50ea. or 4/$10.00! They would make the sweetest of Valentine gifts. ;)



I have also been buying up Blythe clothes like mad! I have intentions of making my own, but some of the outfits are waaaay to hard to resist. Here is Alis & Bella sporting their new wares. (Alis is wearing her new & oh so adorable wig!)



I also made Bella's cute sequence headband! Is it not the cutest thing??? It is a bit snowy here today & I was REALLY hoping spring was right around the corner! I am off to the shop in a bit. The shop hours today are 10-4!




Have a great day! xo!

Thrifting.... ♥

I just ran to a thrift store this morning while on my way to the Vet or I should say after I stopped at the Vet. (to pick up Buster's pills .. our sweet boy(dog)has epilepsy! )

I scored BIG time.. I have been buying up dresses for early spring into spring/summer for a few line of vintage recreated clothing.. basically taking things in,shortening dresses, giving them a new adorable life & adding fun things like appliques! I have ALWAYS had a love for vintage & I am REALLY burnt out on my sewing. I think it is time to change things up! I think you all will approve! I have lots to do today but wanted to share a few really cute things I bought today! The three items including the doggy broach were under $3.00(even though 1 bowl says $3.99 it was in the $1.00 section)!! Love that when it happens!


Happy Monday!!! xo!
