The little farmer...

I thought I would share a little bit of my

Sunday day trip to The Little Farmer!

I have been taking my kids there since they were

pretty little!

It was a beautiful Fall day & we

had lots of fun.. caramel apples & all!

 

 

My daughter took some great photos

with her Ipod! I always make them stand by the

apple sign to measure their height each year!

 

Max... just being Max! ;)

 

Jada saved this poor goat.. his head was stuck

in the fence!!!

Happy Birthday Jada Rayne!!!

Happy 13th Birthday to my beautiful

daughter Jada!

 

 

I am so proud of her,,, she is smart, funny, kind &

the best daughter a Mom could ask for!

 

13 years ago on

a rainy "sweetest" day I was blessed with the most

beautiful black haired, blue eyed baby girl!

It's hard to believe how fast she has grown up!

Time sure does fly!

p.s. Jada means goodness & if you know

her she is nothing but goodness!

She has truly has a heart of gold..

I am one lucky Mama!

 

Happy Birthday Jada!  

xo, Mom!

 



A few things that I LOVE right now..

A few things that I am LOVING right now..

my new Fox shirt from Anthropologie!

(I am actually wearing it right now!)

 

 

 

Cowls! I can not live without my cowl!

I have one like this but chunkier

& a earthy brown!

I love it!

I need these FRYE boots!

 



Fall is one of my very

favorite seasons! I love all the colorful leaves!

 



 I am a coffee addict.. &

I love a good white Chocolate mocha!

 



Happy Saturday!

What are you loving right now?

My new "house" dress!

I had to share my new dress designed by

Elsie of A Beautiful Mess

 for Modcloth!

 

Elsie is a small business owner/designer in Missouri &

Modcloth is a small online business based in Pittsburgh PA!

 

 

Is it not the cutest?

 

It's definitly my happy dress! :)

 

 

 

Food for thought...

 

I feel it's my job as a small business/boutique owner to remind everyone to support your local small businesses! I am now a single mother of 2 that is self employed with no child support..

while this is my choice. I find a lot of people, friends talking about groupon.. copy cat ideas.. walmart.. ect! It makes me cringe, those type of things do not help people like me..

while sales are down & I am still doing fine.. alot of the other business owners

I know are hurting as well.

While we focus on our crappy economy try to support your local Mom & Pop stores.. because if you don't we will all be gone.. what will be left? Walmart?? That will be your only option!

Make a conscious decision of where to spend your money. It is more important now then ever!

By supporting my business & other local small businesses,

the money we make goes right back into our

local Wisconsin economy & allowing us to

support other small business instead of buying that

2nd home for some big box store CEO!

 

p.s. I do understand that we do have to shop at box store from time to time..

but there are other options out there!

 

On that note Happy Friday! :)

 

 

New handmade wood button & feather accessories!

I made up some adorable hair clips our of handmade

wood buttons & feathers!

I think they turned out so cute!

 

Hair pins are $5 ea.

 



I made a few cute headbands as well..

each headband is unique & only $10 ea.

 



 

Shop hours are 10-6 today!

Stop in & see what is new!!!

 

Have a great day! xo!

It's that time of year! Brrr! Time to cozy up

in warm hats, arm warmers & scarves!

We have all of those things at the shop..

Vanessa of Baily Belle just sent a nice new batch of super cute &

warm infinitly scarves like the one

shown below!

 

 

She also restocked her large rosette rings!

They are soo much fun &

made with recycled fabric!

 

Perfect for Fall.. she sent a few more acorn necklaces too!

I love them sooo much! :)

 

REMINDER!!! Tonight is Craft night! We will be making the

headband shown below as well as a cute

wool felt fall garland! Stop in anytime

from 4-7pm & craft with us.

Cost is $8 per project.

First come, first serve, while supplies last!

The shop will be open til' 7pm tonight! Feel free

to stop by & shop during craft night if you are
not feeling crafty!

 

Have a great day! xo! 



Life is too short...

 

I just heard that a friend (facebook friend) was killed

in a bicycling accident yesterday!

I went to all of middle & highschool with her.

She found me on facebook over a year

ago & we would make comments on each other posts ect.

 

She loved biking & seemed like she was living her life to the fullest!

My heart goes out to her family!

 

This is just a little reminder.. or maybe it

should be a BIG reminder..

Life is too short... do what you love, surround yourself with love &

cut out all the bad stuff in your life!

 

You deserve it! xo! 

Change of plans .....

 

There has been a slight change of plans for today!

shop to Atwood ave. in Madison!

I do not only love that neighborhood (I lived there..

Not too mention..

the shop has been a little quiet this week &

I woke up with a hoarse voice!

 

I will be closing at 4 & heading down to Madison to show

my support for Naomi & her new shop home!

 

You should come! There is a lot to do in Madison!

We will be open 10-4 tomorrow!

 

Have a great weekend!! xoxo!
