Back to school plaid & floral rosie headbands!

It's hard to believe that it

is THAT time of year again!

I am trying to hang on to summer but with

the start of football, high school sports &

school registration I have to give in... sigh!

I do love Fall & cooler temps, don't get me 

wrong! Fall is a lovely season but I am just 

not ready! I did however 

recently find some amazing

vintage plaids & floral fabrics

that are now adorable

 rosie headbands!

 Perfect for back to school & Fall! 

I will be at the Appleton Downtown

Farmer's market this Saturday from 8-12:30.

Happy Wednesday friends! :)

Our wedding anniversary & heavy hearts!

We celebrated our second wedding

anniversary this past week on the 

27th. Our wedding was nothing

short of amazing, surrounded by

our closest family & friends! 

My friend & our very talented wedding photographer 

put together a little video of the day.

   While we are so thankful to be so in love

& celebrate another anniversary,

our hearts are heavy as just a few days

before we got the news that 

my cousins daughter had 

passed away from a rare cancer, 

I think we all had high hopes of her

recovering. Sofia was just 12

years old & the sweetest soul.

I shared the photo above because my

family is small & she is actually in the

photo with my family on the right. 

Our thoughts & prayers are with my cousin 

& her family this week as we attend the funeral. 

If you can please send extra prayers to Jenny

& Antonio. I know they as well as their other 

two children are going to need it to get through

this difficult time.

Don't take life for granted, live life to the fullest,

love as much as you can & let go of hate! 

Life is just too short for all that!

xo, Michelle

Hello May & Mother's day weekend!

We had a wonderful Mother's day weekend!

My in laws came & spent most of the day with us.

The boys played on the trampoline, 

& we ate lunch out doors on our

new DIY table! 

I was showered with flowers,

 hand written notes

cards, instagram posts from my son...

I feel very loved!  

They look beautiful on 

our dining room table! :)

DIY table...

Bill & I made this table

the other day. We used an old door

 that my friends neighbor was

throwing out (it was original to his

house & over 100 years old)

It's solid wood (very heavy) & I love it!! 

We kept the original

paint & just sealed it. 

We attached it to (believe it or not)

an old table base that we

found in the basement of our house!

The cost of the  table = FREE, even the screws (also from a 

huge tool box in our basement). 

Our chairs all second hand, vintage. 

The padded 70s one are my 

favorites. We bought them

at an estate sale last summer for $1

each & they have the original

owners name written on them. 

The family was sooo happy that we

were buying them & would actually use them as

they were their grandparents/parents

favorite chairs. 

They are super comfy too! 

I hope you all had a great weekend!

I am spending the rest of May 

gearing up for the farmers market 

in downtown Appleton

next Month. 

Hello May!!!

Happy Friday... life lately!

Life as of lately....

I found this cute guy at the

thrift store for $2. He is getting a make over

& flowers for our garden. 

Another sweet thrifted find that I painted

& planted some pretty pink petunias in. 

I have been itching to garden

with the lovely weather we

are currently enjoying. 

I know.. baby steps. We do

live in Wisconsin. ;)

Lizzie is doing well & adjusting to our home

quite nicely!Her new favorite spot

is in our bay window. She 

can be found there in her bed most days!

The teller at my bank gave me this flower

today & said "Happy Mother's day Michelle, 

Have a great weekend!" I told her that really made my day

& I drove off crying! 

It's the littlest things that can make a difference in

someones day! I have to deal with some

unpleasant things in my life as we all do

but some days are challenging &

this is exactly what I needed today!

Happy Mother's day weekend 

to all the Mama's out there &

to everyone have a great weekend! 

xo! 

Welcome Lizzie Bennet!

We have been a bit busy over here

snuggling with this sweet girl &

making her feel welcome

in our home! 

We recently adopted (well fostering

for a few weeks until we make it official) a 

7 year old Siamese mix kitty

named Lizzie Bennet!

We are absolutely smitten with her!

She is particularly fond of Bill! 

I think he spoils her just a bit & she is up

to greet him every morning when he gets

ready for work!

The weather was beautiful the other 

day so we had the windows open

 & she loves sitting in the windows!

She was helping me shop for a cat condo but

we have yet to commit to one. ;)

They all seem to be getting along just fine..

Dexter still is a little unsure but 

he is also my baby & gets a little

jealous! All was well with 

our little pet family the other night. Lizzie

in the window, Bugsy on the dog bed &

Dexter in the chair! 

This picture makes my heart melt.

Bugsy & Lizzie were 

snuggling last night. She was all

stretched out at one point on him. 

I bought her the new yellow

collar with the flower on it! 

I love that I can get her girly kitty things 

& I am not a bling person (which is all that seems to

be out there for kitties) so

this was perfect! The collar

is from Target for $3.99.

Happy Wednesday friends! xo! 

Thrifty succulents!

I found the cutest faux succulents at

the most unexpected place...

the family dollar store! 

They were a $1 each!

I did remove them from their not

so cute containers however &

planted them in 

the cutest vintage planter that

I picked up for $1 as well. 

I decided to plant them in dirt. 

in hopes to make them look real.

 I am in love with the 

look of succulents but 

I have never been 

able to keep them alive! 

This was a great inexpensive alternative

to real plants. 

Now to find something for

 the deer planter. Maybe a cute herb

of some sort?

I am really, really happy with the

look of this little corner

of our breezeway! 

xo! 

We're thinkin' Spring!

I am trying really hard to channel Spring

with new accessories!

New Spring flapper girl headbands 

are here with soft jersey knits in 

florals, stripes & polk a dots! 

I have been really lucky lately &

found some new to me 

vintage fabric! I love this new 

batch of hair bows/ bow ties!

I am also a little obsessed with turban 

headbands! They fit the look

of my vintage inspired accessories &

 are so comfy!

They are all made from recycled 

materials like my flapper girl headbands.

I really love the this batch

of Spring fabric button earrings!

I have restocked most of

the shops that carry my wares with 

Spring goodies &

I will be selling at 

The Artery in downtown Appleton 

April 30th from 9-2 (SAVE THE DATE)!

More info. soon!

P.S. Thank you to everyone

who came out & supported us at

The Spring Crafty fair this past Sunday! 

What a great day! 

THANK YOUeveryone

for your continued support!

Think Spring.. it's coming!!! xo! 

The Spring Crafty fair!

Happy Friday friends! 

You can find me & my hubby selling my

accessories as well as our

beer bottle candles at 

The "Spring" Crafty Fair! 

We have so many new things to share! 

The show is Sunday April 10th at 

the Goodman Center in Madison

from 10-4. 

Hope to see you there!!! xo!

Happy Spring!?!

I am so ready for Spring & 

with snow on the way I am trying

my hardest to stay positive! ;) 

I made up the sweetest 60s inspired Spring 

headbands that are on their 

way to I like you in Minneapolis!

Don't worry I plan on making a few for 

The Crafty Fair in Madison, April 10th as well!

I must be in the Spring mind set! I 

found these adorable lotus bowls

at the thrift store today! We have mini

lotus bowls but these are normal size. 

I think they were a steal at 50 cents each!

I am ready for birds chirping, butterflies, 

green grass, gardens & outdoors parties! 

If anything I guess my headbands

scream Spring! 

Hopefully this is the last of the white stuff 

for us here in Wisconsin! 

Happy Spring!!! xo! 

Life lately...

I found this little dish yesterday

for .25 cents! I love it! :)

There has been a lot of dreaming over here! 

A few signs of Spring! I am loving 

the weather!!! It was 62 degrees in

Oshkosh yesterday & I will take it even 

if winter is not over yet!

Lately I have made it a point to thrift

all of my clothes & I have found

over a dozen dresses that I truly love &; most 

have been under $2. 

I am making it a point to get rid of something

when I buy something new!

I almost can't buy anything new when

I know I can buy a boutique

dress for $1.50.

I get many compliments on my dresses &

people always seemed shocked when I 

tell them where I bought them! 

I am ok with that, it's fun 

& I love thrifting!

Speaking of... I found this cute handmade

lap blanket, like new for Dexter & I think

he loves it! He has been on it

since I gave it to him!

It's so cute &

 I love the colors in it & it was $1.75! :)

We had a show last weekend in Milwaukee at

Discovery World! It was a fun day &

I REALLY love working with my hubby!

He is pretty much the BEST business

partner ever! 

Spring is on it's way & I am enjoying some 

down time until the 

busy summer season starts for me!
