I went antiquing this morning and I think I've discovered my new 'home away from home!'We drove past the cutest antique store last year while taking Ms. DQ to Girl Scout camp but I've never made a trip back...until today. Oh, it's the best! It's called Luckett's Store, so if you ever are in the Northern VA area and you love 'vintage hip,' then you must stop in for a treat. They have a really

My husband decided to spoil me a little again this past weekend...whew, I've been one lucky lady lately and I ain't complaining. The best part about it was that we hit up some great sales and who doesn't love a sale? I'm a sucker for a good bargain but boy did we score with this one......from Anthropologie...originally $78...paid $20...woo weee. I found this top online too and they still have

Once upon a time, it rained for almost a week straight...right when it just started to warm up & get the kiddies giddy for days outside. 'Mommmmyyy, mommmmyyy, can I paint, can I play with play-doh, play the wii with me, mommmmyyy I want to bake cookies, read me a story, dance with me, I want to watch Safe Side Super Chick (for the millionth time), can I carry the baby around the house,'

I've always been a jewelry lover and been making it since I was a little girl. I can remember going to the bead store and racking up on the cutest beads. I remember selling some of my jewelry & beaded key chains to friends and family and thought it was the neatest thing to make money. I was rich I tell ya...that $20 here and there was going to get me far, tee hee. Of course, looking back..

For the Etsyblogger Carnival this week, I'm supposed to write about my favorite fairy tale and whether or not it has parallels to my life.Well, I do love many Fairy Tales...but one of my favorite's is...Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.I love how Alice falls down a rabbit hole into this fantasy world and that the creatures have unique human features! I definitely wouldn't say I

Cinnamon & Honey is having a great giveaway I have to tell you about. She's been my bloggy pal for sometime now and I just love her posts. Now she's hit the 200 mark and is giving away a 'follow your heart' custom hand-stamped, sterling silver pendant necklace from Kristen's Custom Creations. The button is over there on my left sidebar and you can enter through May 5 (cinco de Mayo, yay).

Have you ever seen a rainbow so wonderful?This was our view on Saturday evening as we took a 4 hour drive to visit family & friends. It was the most amazing site...completely sunny and bright on one side of the interstate & rainy and foggy on the other...along with this beautiful rainbow of course. We couldn't take our eyes off of it and the girls begged me to drive them to the end to

To kick off Earth Day... I'm adding RECYCLED Scrabble Tile Pendants, Domino Magnets & Vintage inspired gift tags to the shop all day.I added Swarovski crystals to most of the pendants to jazz em' up a bit & I think they are quite snazzy! Here are a couple just added to the shop...The gift tags were made from manilla file folders I pulled out of our filing cabinet last week. See, spring

Weekend rewind...Friday:Cops swarming my neighborhood, searching unlocked homes in search of a missing girl. Yep, you guessed it...they literally found her walking down the sidewalk almost in front of my home. Then, the news crew wouldn't leave me alone after I repeatedly said I don't want to be on camera, so they follow me and my girls to the bus stop to pick up my oldest...ugh. Relentless I

Boy, I've missed you all! I'm still running around her trying to 'Spring Clean' & get the studio ready...still so much to do. But we've also been enjoying this beautiful weather. We just can't pass that up.

I recently have been feeling a bit overwhelmed...like I need to slow down...life is moving too fast! I don't like it one bit and just have that unsettled feeling, like I don't get any quite time to 'just relax.' I've got so much on my plate, I stay up to all hours of the night and still feel unaccomplished sometimes. Somethings gotta change. Oh, not to mention...I need to get to sleep at a

Have you ever seen such wonderful darling eggs?My girls went to town, dying and glittering and making a mess. All to create these lovelies & we were all so pleased at the result. They are so yummy and bright...pleasing to look at...because you know I love me some bright colors ;-)Oh, & the little ladies are visiting from 'A Fanciful Twist,' of course!
