i am back from my looong absence.
yes, i know i said i'd be back yesterday but i got a little distracted. sorry.
i have so much to share with you so this may be a long post. hope you don't mind.
i found a late 60's bike from a thrift store for only 40 bucks! what a steal.
a trip to the bike shop, a new tire & $12 later, i was riding, all over town,
literally all day long. i love my new bike! the boy is going to paint it for me.
not sure which color i want for sure but i'm leaning towards cream.
and here she is...ta da!!!
here are some more of my thrifted finds from yesterday.
a pretty turquoise blue, zig-zag stitched throw pillow. yarn stitched flower picture.
a little glass jar & old milk bottle. a pretty lace table cloth in mint condition.
pretty flower trimmed china plates. a little white fawn figurine.
miniature glass salt and pepper shakers and a pretty pyrex baking dish.
my friend elsie got a new little pug. her name is suki.
you have no idea how jealous i am.
i miss my little pug & will be getting another one as soon as i possibly can.
a few "i wants" from etsy...

or this little retro fridge. found here. so cute!
do you have a little one who wear's glasses?
after seeing these little retro children's glasses, i kinda wish i did.

yes, they are for little guys & gals. get 'em here.
and if you get some for your little tike, please please please, send me a picture. :)
we went to brunch at michaelangelo's sunday morning for our friend's b-day. our favorite waiter was there, his name is fransisco and he loves the ladies. he made sure to give all the girls hugs and kisses on the cheeks, haha.
i am heavily inspired by miss rachel's home from
it's so fresh and pretty.
i am now in search for a pink, herman miller rocker of my very own.
so far no luck, although i have found a few reproductions.
here are some more photo's of her lovely home.
i recently met a gorgeous gal named becca and i found out that he sister makes the most beeeautiful native american inspired accessories. head pieces, cuffs, necklaces & more. her line is called windy freda and she's from right here in texas!
we also did a bleubird shoot this weekend with the lovely little birdy rachel!
love her as always. here's a tiny peek of her shoot.
we've got HUNDREDS of new vintage pieces coming to the shops,
{yes shops plural}, very very soon! still waiting on the new site to be done.
it's been difficult for me since i have always done my own web design & building
and once we hired someone to do it for us, it's on their time clock, not mine,
so it's difficult to be patient. but he swears it should be done by next week
so i'm holding him to it. the pressures on! :)
i could go on and on about so many things but i'm getting tired
i'll be back tomorrow!
xoxo.
