The"Tree Chic"Tote

My latest project...
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
I saw this fabric at Jo Ann's
and I thought it was absolutely
adorable and so springy!! ^-^


*
*
*
*
*
One of the other things I love
about it is that it's
REVERSIBLE!! ^-^
These are actually napkins
from back when Target had the
Cynthia Rowley"Swell" Line.
(which I absolutely adored!)
I could never find the perfect
fit for them, but I think this is
perfect. ^-^
Well happy Blogging all!! ^-^

This past Saturday We went with some
friends to Morris IL. For my sister and
our other friends 30Th birthdays.
It was SO MUCH FUN!! I am totally going back!
I thought it was so funny that three of the girls
have red coats on!^-^

This was my very favorite store in Morris!!
...Whimsy...
And to my very pleasant surprise the
lady who is the owner of the store(I think?)
has a blog...YAY! and you can even
purchase some of her lovely things on line!

put it on because it was definitely a high point
of this day!^-^ So I was going through the pictures

We've got some ice cold Pink lemonade!!

In our family(with the exception of me)
our favorite thing about
summer coming is that
autumn is the season after that.
Well I made some really yummy
pink lemonade...which to me
is the very picture of what
summer should be...
laying out on your hammock,
under a big oak,
with your super adorable
vintage swimsuit on,
with a glass of good ole' lemonade!
And let's just say that lately
I've been really needing my
cup o' sugar...as I am now trying to
get my fall schedule arranged
before it comes! I have recently made
the very exciting decision to open a (small)
dance school. On top of my classes and small business.
But I am so excited! I have already gotten a few students!!^-^
YAY! But anyhow that's what's been going on. Hope you'll
have a chance to sit down and have a glass of cool
pink lemonade on this toasty summer day!!

Sew What..???

Sew....
I have been sewing a LOT!!
lately.My problem is...
there is so many ideas
in my head for me to
execute...but they
take a while to well
get around to being done.
Here's some of the things
I have finally accomplished.^-^
(and yes, in the end, the
finished result is totally
worth it!!!)
I was on the Anthro site and saw
the Mottisfont top!
Adore it!!!
*
*
*
*
*
*

Well I thought I could use it as an
inspiration for my upcoming fall look.
I tweaked it to fit my personal
style..and this is the result.
(The flowers look lavender
but they are not, their a
slightly darker shade of the pink.)

The pick up and go pillow...

head of this pillow for a while now.
I am pretty happy with the results.

The Twenty Dollar Skirt!!...our trip to Chicago

So...my plan was to.....
Walk into Anthro,
fawn over every article of clothing,
sulk(just a little)over no spendable money,
and...well....leave...
I walked into the sale room
and look at my sweet surprise!!...
*
*
*
*
The Twenty Dollar Skirt!!!
( Mum...mum... originally $78)
If the store hadn't been full of
classy ladies, who, more than
likely were not cultured to some
random stranger doing a handstand
out of pure excitement in the middle
of the store, nothing would of held me
back from doing so!^-^
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
Now here's the rest of what we tried on...
This is a bad picture
of the adorable shirt
but its the only one that
turned out somewhat OK.
*
*
*
*
*
*


I absolutely Adore this dress!!

Afterwords we made a trip to
Trader Joe's And look what I found!
Yes, I am one of those woman
who will buy things just because
they are pink!^-^

*
*
*
*
*
*




All was not lost concerning the upcoming
ballerina classes I have mentioned^-^....
*
*
*
I purchased these A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E
ballerina girl shorts (and matching undies^-^ he he)
for $5.80...at a store called ??? 24( one of my new faves!)
Also, a scarf from Charlotte Russe(another fave)
for my new fall look!!
*

Well that was our rendezvous!!!
Hope You all enjoyed!!
