What a weekend.....




We had a fantastic weekend! First off THANK YOU all sooo much who came out and purchased dainty daisies goods at the Appleton farmer's market. It means the world to me! I especially enjoyed meeting two young ladies, one was from Korea and we hit it off she is a hobby sewer.. she had the cutest bags.They were so nice and appreciative of what I do! I hope you enjoy your skirt (if you read this please email me the picture you took of us) I totally got caught up in the moment and didn't get a picture. I think that will be my first skirt to go to Korea. Thanks again Ladies it was such a pleasure to meet you!

Jada played in her first softball tournament & won two out of three games! They were awesome! It was so much fun to watch! I also got in some gardening time. I have been working on my perennials.. it is a lot of work and with how humid it is and all the rain the weeds were in full force! Ugghh! I do feel I have my garden in a pretty good place, there is a few more things I need to work on.

I am sold out of long skirts and the moment! That is a first truly.. I will have some new skirts ready this week. I will not be at the market this Saturday and posiibly may be out of town Aug. 2cnd. I am hoping to have a real shop update this week!

I have my work cut out for me.. Happy Monday! :)

Sewing up a storm!



Literally! It was one stormy afternoon.. luckily the weather held off for the farmer's market & live at lunch that is by our shop. It always helps bring in a few new customers.

I have been sewing all afternoon... and just finished these. I have sooo many new ideas but I am struggling with balancing my life right now. I guess I should be happy to find any time to sew.. right???

I love the new market totes. The lemon one is ADORABLE, the tan almost canvas type fabric I scored at the thrift store. It is a really nice weight and gives this tote a natural organic look! I really love the polk a dot totes with the ric rac as well. I am defintly a polk a dot kind of gal!

Okay back to sewing! Enjoy your night! :)

I don't know what is better......



getting my new fabric order in the mail... oh my gosh, I can't wait to get sewing! or stopping at the thrift store on the way home and getting all of this for $20.00 plus the few things my kids picked out(NOT SHOWN) a magic hat with all the tricks.. so much fun! I am really loving the basket that it all fit into as well as the vintage hanky shown under my candle & not to mention the vintage skort pattern! YAY! :)

My new skirt, sandals and daisies in my garden.....


I have been sooo busy. I can't believe it is mid July already! YIKES! Thank you everyone who came out to the market Saturday and all of the super nice people who helped me fetch my flying hair accessories.. the wind was CRAZY! Thank you soo much!

I stayed up pretty late one night to make myself a new wrap skirt. Here it is. I also thought I would show off my b-day(from way back in May) sandals that I loooove and of course my new daisies that are blooming in my garden!

I hope your week is off to a great start. We went to the park, zoo, library and the pool today! We are busy bees! :)

I've got nothing for ya.....

HEHE! I had taken some pictures this weekend & was ready to share our weekend festivities as well as a new featured artist. Well my batteries were low and all my pictures came out horrible! I REALLY need to invest in a new camera and a new cordless phone.. two things that have been on my list of new purchases, that I just can't seam to get myself to shop for!

I am off to run errands and plan on cleaning my house as well as work on restocking the shop as well as get ready for the market. Thank you again to all of my Appleton customers as well as my local customers for coming out for the market & gallery walk. Saturday was a long day, but you all make it soooo worth it!

Happy Monday! :)

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th everyone! Have a safe & happy holiday and remember those who are fighting for our country especially those who have lost love ones! I am proud to be an american for sure!

On a business note.. We are open today til' 6:00. Misha and I are both getting ready for the markets so we will be at the shop! Misha has the cutest star shaped soaps in red, white and blue tulle. They would make great hostess gifts for your 4th of July celebrations!I will also be at the Appleton market tomorrow.. remember I will be in a different spot each week, so you may have to search a bit for me!
Also gallery walk is this Saturday from 6-9 pm our featured artist is our friend and artist Catie Haase, come and join us and see some amazing local artist! Support & shop downtown! :)

On another note.. Jada and I went to see Kit Kittredge and American girl movie... it was soo good I recommend it to everyone of all ages. It is about the depression and It really hits home since these days it is getting harder and harder to afford just about anything. Check it out here!



HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY 4TH!
