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?

(Madame Maxime ;D)

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. :)

I am in love with this gorgeous Hazel Atlas set.

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?!

Via Veggiebelly

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. :)

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.

On my way out...

2011-07-03T21:08:00.000-07:00

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

On my way out...

2011-06-30T20:02:00.000-07:00

to Dylan's show at Taix with one of my best friends. Can't wait to have a good time with good friends. :) Have a great night!

The BEST shoes EVER! My sister found them at the thrift store and I've been

looking for a pair exactly like these. And amazingly, just my size!

Stoked.

Just another day

After a LONG wait at school yesterday to get registered for next semester's classes, I rewarded myself with a dip in the pool. My boyfriend's mom recently redid their backyard (pool included) and I think she did a pretty fabulous job. :)

One of my favorites from last summer. (Of Dylan)

Today I thought I'd give you a quick peak into my bathroom where I have quite a few of my precious treasures on display. I hope you enjoy. :)

I collect glass jars to put my little collections in. These babies are

all waiting to be filled. (Excuse the dust, haha.)

A white toad I've had since my childhood next to a brightly colored mushroom

my mom bought for me. And on top of my candles is a happy little hippo

that Dylan found in the street.

Two of my porcelain fawns in between my earrings, pins, and buttons.

My favorite perfume, Tokyo Milk with my celluloid hippo, eraser ice cream cone,

fawn candle, and a few of my favorite rings and bracelets.

My cute little gnomey with my brass tomato and bath salts.

My vintage parrot perfume bottle with my cute owl soap

that I can't bare to use and a few odds and ends.

My Indian elephant hooks that Dylan bought me for Christmas.

(I'm pretty bad when it comes to actually hanging things up.)

I scored so many amazing things thrifting with my mom yesterday. These are just a few of them since taking pictures and posting them is time consuming. Plus most of them were clothes and are currently in the wash. Enjoy. :)

Super cute kitty pot holders for .75 cents each!

These amazing owl bookends that my mom found for me.

This cockatoo candle and amazing faux bois plate.

The candle was $2

The plate was $1

This black cat figurine is pretty large but there was something so funny about him that I couldn't resist.

This evil looking squirrel reminded me of Chelsea (my sister).

This man's hand was only 65 cents and looks so similar to the busts I collect that I couldn't leave him.

I got these little guys from my mom for my birthday last month, but they wanted their picture taken too. :)
