Sorry!

Oh my GOODNESS it's been a while!!! A lot has been on my plate these last few weeks (traveling, setting up my new shop, lack of wireless internet, etc) and to top it off, I couldn't find my camera for a week... I swear I WILL get better at keeping track of my electronic possessions! Anyway, here are a few pictures from the last few weeks. Enjoy. <3

A few shots from Sean's b-day dinner



An accidental smiley face! <333

The candle lighting for Dylan's Nana's b-day.

The cutest house I found while "garage sailing."

And some pictures from the Harry Potter premiere! Can you guess who I am?

Garage Sailing ;P

This morning I got up WAY too early (7:30 haha) to go to garage sales with my mom. I had forgotten how much I used to love getting up and hunting for bargains. I can't wait to post pictures of some of the things I found.

Have a great day. :)

Thursday Thrills

Here are a few things that I've either been eyeing or inspired by, all of which I love. <3


The most beautiful bird tree clip! I want him so much!!

This angry little gnome man :D 

I am in love with this gorgeous Hazel Atlas set.

This picture has inspired me for my boyfriend's bedroom! 
He needs more storage. :)

Can ANYONE tell me where these little guys are from? 
I need to eat them!
Via Unknown

Doesn't this just look so crazy refreshing?!

Everything about this picture. The lighting, her dress, they way they're looking at each other.
Love.

Celebration time

So, as promised, here are a few pictures from the 4th. Every year, my neighborhood does a big parade (which luckily starts right in front of my house) where everyone dresses up and decorates their cars, bikes, wagons, golf carts, etc. and then the precession makes its way through the neighborhood to the park for free hot dogs and watermelon. This year I didn't bike to the park since it was REALLY hot and I saw no gain for me, as there were no veggie dogs available, but I still dressed up and took pictures. :)

A decorated old trolly parked in front of a neighbor's house the night before the 4th.

Some of my sister's friends taking (highly patriotic) pictures.

There were cute babies in cute decorated wagons and strollers everywhere! 

She was my favorite! How adorable is she yawning in the buggy!?!

The polka dotted dress I wore with my red slip, white belt (all 3 thrifted)
 and my blue suede shoes. (from Modcloth)

Up close of my cute little red clip-ons. :) 
(Ordered on Etsy)

The only decent fireworks shot from the night. (I desperately need a new camera.) But I think it sums up the night pretty well. <3 Hope everyone else had a great 4th.

Happy 4th Everyone!

With all the fun festivities in the air (literally) this will be a quick post since I'd like to watch some X-Files before bed, but I would just like to say Happy 4th of July to everyone while it's still the 4th. ;) I'll add some pictures from today's excitement tomorrow. :)

Fun Finds #2

 Look at some of the great things I found at Goodwill today.  :)
This set of coasters is so adorable, and that yellow and green grenade looking thing is a bottle opener! Too cute to pass up.

These fabric Chinese boy and girl will be perfect decorations for my Chinese New Year party!

A mini plastic piano that sorts coins? Yup, that's mine. ;)

This happy little panda pot holder is so stinkin' cute!

I was beyond excited when I found this box today. I LOVE cookie cutters!

The cloud I'm holding is probably my favorite. :)

This mini casserole dish is so perfect. I absolutely adore anything mini. 

Another vintage candle, this time a santa boot. He's a little messed 
up on the other side since someone obviously lit him. 
How could anyone burn something so cute!?

Today I realized that I have a fascination with old ships. I think it may have something
 to do with watching the old BBC series of The Chronicles of Narnia as a child. 
I always loved that ship painting.

<3

On my way out...

to lunch and thrifting with my mom, sister, and old friend. I hope I find some goodies. :)



I tried to get a close up of my new earrings but my hair had other plans. 
They're little pagodas that chime in the wind! :)


This one shows the earrings a little better. <3
