What a week!

I'm SO sorry that I've been MIA. Halloween is a CRAZY time for me. My friends and I throw a huge bash and go all out on our costumes. I have been in the process of thrifting, painting, and sewing my husbands and mine.  We are going as the same thing. That is as much as I can say right now. Every year we do this, it's top secret. Our friends try to trick us into telling them what we are but we're stronger than that! lol  So, my lovelies, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until Monday to see our costumes because some of my friends read my...

Out and about

At the suggestion of one of my friends, I am occasionally going to start posting "out and about" photos of customers who buy from my shop.  Hopefully, I will be able to convince my buyers to send me pics ;) My friend Tarsha is wearing  a vintage "tie" necklace. It's a stunning piece. She was my first customer! Thanks so much Tarsha!  Way to work the vintage! ;) Here's what she wore: Looking good ladies! Have a great day lov...

Putting it together

We just listed a funky little 60's crocheted dress in our shop! I felt the need to pull it all together with different vintage pieces to complete the look and this is what I came up with. Add some funky orange, yellow or red tights or leggings and it will be perfect! The belt on the dress will be listed shortly :) Enjoy! via Lapine Ours via Blue Sky Vintage ...

Cover that thing up

Since having my thyroid surgery last week I've been avoiding going out because of the HUGE scar on my neck. Luckily it's cooled down a bit here in Houston and that only means one thing...scarfs! Hoorah! Just in time for me to make an outing (my girlfriends bday is this weekend).  I wouldn't dare go out with my neck exposed and gross everyone out. If you saw it, you'd agree :) I have TONS of scarfs but I think it's time to do the "out with...

I'm seeing RED

Red lips that is! Now that fall and the cooler weather are here, I'm ready to bust out the various shades of red lipsticks I have and wear them around town. I usually live for the weekends because those are the days I can get dressed up. As much as I love staying home and running my Etsy shop, I do enjoy going out on the town with my husband.  I am usually fair skinned and can pull of the the red lips. However, I'm hoping the tan from the awesome...

Surgery Recovery

Hi everyone! The good news is that my surgery is over and done with and that I'm back at home. Everything went great. My scar isn't as gruesome as you would think (although, I could still pull off being the Bride of Frankenstein for Halloween) ;) I have been in some pain but luckily I have pain meds for whenever I need them.  Now we play the waiting game. I get the results some time next week.  Apparently, they mass on my thyroid was HUGE and they needed to send it to the lab to test whether it was cancerous or not.  What they...
