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!

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!

p.s. Be sure to check out our new blog..
for DIY's & our candle business!
