Minneapolis fashion blogger features a vintage dress from dainty daisies!

I was so excited yesterday when I received a notification thru Twitter that I was tagged in a post to this cute blog.. www.rubygirlblog.com

Minneapolis fashion blogger Lindsey Herzog had stopped by my shop at our grand opening celebration & asked if she could feature one of the 3 dresses she purchased (which all looked adorable on her). I am soo excited to share her blog with you!







Thank you Lindsey for the wonderful write up of dainty daisies on your blog! xo!

Go & check out her blog at www.rubygirlblog.com! Weather permitting craft night is still on for (tomorrow)Wednesday night from 4-7pm! We will be making decoupage tile coasters for $5 ea. while supplies last & first come first serve!

Have a great day! (Shop hours are 10-6 today!)

What I am wearing.. my new lemon yellow skirt & red lipstick!

Happy Monday everyone!

I thought it would be fun to do a what I am wearing post. I received a few compliments on my outfit today & I get asked all the time about my style! It's truly flattering.. I have kind of always been an odd duck! Lol! I never have really dressed like anyone else! ;)

Here is what I am wearing today..



I just bought this cute lemon yellow high waisted pencil skirt at Anthropologie in Madison. My top is a thrifted Lands End 3/4 sleeve tee that I have had forever, boots target & tights Anthropologie. I don't wear much makeup but I do LOVE red lipstick & I treated myself to a new red lipstick, it's "red revival" by Maybelline & I love it!

I love mixing colors & patterns. Yes.. I have been known to not match my clothes! ;)



I think adding a bright colored skirt, top or even scarf is a great way to brighten up your winter wardrobe!



The shop is open 10-6 today! This is the last week for winter goods then onto spring! I just hope that the weather cooperates!

Wednesday night is craft night from 4-7pm. Come & make decoupage tile coasters with us! $5 per coaster!

Have a great day! xo!

Oh Friday!!

Happy Friday everyone! On a not so happy note I am having some car issues & will be closing the shop at 5:00 today so I can pick up my car (hopefully this will be the last of car issues for awhile.. fingers crossed)!

Today all vintage clothing & shoes are 30% off! I will slowly be adding spring inventory handmade & vintage!

The last month & a half has been a bit of a challenge for me, while I am sooo thankful for my new shop & all the new people that have popped into my life. I feel so blessed!
The truth is I am a newly single Mom of 2 that works all the time & is passionate about everything I do. I am struggling to find my way in the world right now & at 36 I am starting over.
I try to keep this blog mostly business(shop)orientated but sometimes I think it's important to share my struggles!
My look on life has changed! I am so thankful for my friends who make me laugh & let me vent when needed... I am so thankful for my two AMAZING kids, really you have no idea how strong they are & most days are telling me that everything is going to be ok at 8 & 12 yrs of age.
I don't have the answers to everything, I can be a bit short tempered, take things too personally.. but my goal is to be a positive,self confindent, hardworking single Mom of 2 & a rolemodel to anyone that wants to make their dreams come true! Believe me THEY will come true if you put your heart & soul into it.

This is me right now... xo!

Happy Valentines day!! Here's a little DIY for you! xoxo!

Happy Valentine's day everyone!! I think I have mentioned before (haha) that I looove Valentine's day.. I love all things pink, red & hearts! What is not to love?

I saw this little diy on Pinterest awhile ago & I knew I had to find the perfect dress to alter! My bff & I were out thrifting on Sunday when I found this ADORABLE dress. It started it's life long... but I shortened it, cut out the heart in the bodice & stitched a simple stitch to keep it from fraying. You can use fray check too.. but I wanted mine to look a little raw at the edges!




I loooove the way it turned out!



I also am sporting one of my glass glitter pink heart hair pins, which I have at my shop & are 30% off today!!



The shop is open til' 8:30pm tonight for the 9th annual Death by Chocolate event in downtown Appleton! We have a voting box so stop on down & cast your votes! All Valentines accessories are 30% off today including heart soaps!

p.s. If you need further directions for the diy, the original post can be found on www.shopruche.com (click on the blog link)

Craft night & a peek at my craft room!

Tonight is our very first craft night at my new shop! I thought I would give you a little peek into our craft room at the shop!

I kept the room light & airy painting all the walls white, adding a few simple details like the paper pom poms hanging from the ceiling as well as the vintage wallpaper which is hiding an old window that I will be adding shelves to for craft supplies soon!
