July Update

Sorry its been so long since I last posted. Life has been in a word: HECTIC
A good hectic but hectic none the less. I wish I was as diligent in posting on my blog as I am on eating chocolate. Then I'd really look efficent and together. So a little recap on the past two weeks:

I recently particpated in this great Fairy Shoe Swap. My lovely partner sent me this adorable little slipper stuffed with vintage trims and lovely goodies. So lovely...I'll post pictures of the slipper I sent once my partner receives them.




Life has been busy busy busy once again. I took a lovely Creative Packaging class taught by my friend Ana of We Love Citrus. It was so much fun and she gave us so many ideas and hands on techniques to try. Love it!


The kids are growing by leaps and bounds. We've been swimming a bit so far this summer and they amaze me everytime we get in the water. Will is incredibly comfortable and finally swimming and taking breaths at the same time. Jake just wants to dive in and kick kick kick! Crazy children.

Only three weeks away from the Queen Bee Market. Crazy busy and I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I've been busy working on my display pieces and still working on the kinks. Trying to get it to stay up without too much bulk is quite a task.

Plus my husband has challenged me to come up with an eco-friendly project. So this past week we created our own compost pile. Using reclaimed wood scraps left over from our fence build we built a very elementary structure. Now I'm filled with satisfication everytime I take the compost out. Next week: BEES




In the words of my friend Rita "Ciao"

My Little Guy is One

This weekend we celebrated our youngest son's Birthday. He turns one this week...AHHHHHHH! I can't believe its been a year already and looking back I only have a handful of pictures for this little guy. Poor thing his brother has boxes of photos. It's amazing how time has just flown by.

The party was so much fun. We decided on a cute little Owl theme in Reese's Pieces colors! HOOT HOOT. Our friend Anna made these oh so stinking cute Owl Cookies. The food was typical hot dogs and hamburger fare. However I also had some amazing Caramel Popcorn that was toooooooo die for...handmade to boot!

Oh happy day

I keep reverting back to my high school years and I'm always thrilled when someone cool accepts me into their nitch. So today when I found out that I was accepted as a vendor at the Queen Bee Market...GLORY ALLELUIA I was thrilled. Now I am still thrilled and my mind is racing.

I'm posting a few pics from my booth at this past Vintage Marketplace. It was amazing as usual and the new location was primo! Plus lunch everyday was at the Oaks and oh my goodness...yummy!






Then the hubby, kiddos and I took a little day trip out to Matilda's Mouse for a little vintage junk shopping. Lovely vintage barn chock full of amazing goodies. I would have bought it all but the hubby kept me in check so I only left with a couple of vintage industrial letters. He is the type that we may have no food in the house but he will still manage to go to the store and get nothing but apples and granola bars. Man I love that guy.





As for the rest of live Jacob is turning one in a couple of weeks and it amazes me that I will have two toddlers running around soon....crazy! Plus trying to keep July somewhat mellow with only a few classes and the Long Beach Flea Market. Gotta prep for the Queen Bee Market (August 6th) and then the Vintage Marketplace (Sept 10&11). Whoa when I type it all out I realize how busy I am and all the stuff I need to get done....AHHHHH.

In A Rut

Ever feel like you're stuck in a rut? In a few hours I'll be another year earlier and well it just feels like another day. Another regular day. I need to get out of this rut (emotionally, physically, etc). I was thrilled to find out that my eco-friendly t-shirt necklace is being featured by GreenCraft Magazine Volume 5 but I can't seem to find the creativity to start new projects. I know everybody has their ups and downs and it too shall pass but its still no fun. And well who doesn't like to have fun!
