Estate Sale and Vintage Treasuring Hunting

I had a great time with Sweetie this weekend!
He is such a great guy following me around Estate Sales and Antique Malls. Holding things, searching ahead and letting me know the good spots.

We found a few things for our home, a few things for the Blossom Shop booth and some very fun jewelry bits for re-purposing. And yes, I admit, wearing myself!

Here is a sneak peek at some things I bought.

I get the whole day to play in the studio and do household chores so I am off to work and play!

enjoy the photos!

Its time for a drawing and a winner!!!

What a great time I had at all the Mad Hatter Tea Parties!
A big THANK YOU!! to Vanessa Valencia at
A Fanciful Twist for another fantastic party.

My Mad Hatter Tea Party

~Welcome!~
Come on in.
Now that you are here, the party can begin.
I have been planning and prepping all night
to make sure everything is just right.


But before we eat
we need to make sure our look is complete.
Something old, something new?
Something borrowed, something true.
Look inside the drawer to find
the perfect jewel, I don't mind!



Does your finger need a ring?
Something that makes you giggle and sing!


Now that your look is full of sass,
Check yourself out in the looking glass.
(Be sure to fall in!)

Now its time, let's begin!

Something to eat? Something to drink?
It's best to start with tea, I think!


Mmmmm, that's good! So very very good.
Let's follow it up with some tasty food.

Tomatoes on toast?

Fruit so ripe?


Let's start with cake!
It's more my type.


I am so glad that you were here!
You were such a great guest, such a dear!

No need to rush out,
stay as long as you care.
We are here all day with lots of good times to share!

Before you go, leave a note, something sweet for certain.
Then you might be the winner of this little token.

A lovely Circus Wedding

oh my!
The long awaited wedding has finally come.
My baby brother and his darling bride.

It was nothing short of magical and amazing,
just like the couple.

Much love and happiness to them!
Feast your eyes on this!

What ya been up to?

Hi Friends!

Its time to catch you up on what's been going on.
Lots of good stuff!

After Cowtown Indie in Fort Worth we went to
Indie Genius Bazaar in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas.
It was HOT and windy but we survived and had a fantastic time.
Met some wonderful people as well!
Ky and Pat of Book-Inz, Lindsay of House of Introspection, and Kelly of The Olive Stitch.

Then it was down to Austin for Shop Crafty.
Austin is always a good time and it was great to visit with
friends from shows past!
Anne Marie, Lianne from Lizziebeesthings, and Pommes Frites.
Check them out too!


Most recently we were at Lakewoodstock here in Dallas.
What a perfect day to be outside meeting all the Lakewood neighbors!

Skippy loved Lakewoodstock too!

The first was on the night of my birthday.
We spent a great evening with Ky and Pat at Babe's Chicken House.

I did not want to mess up my tiara.

That weekend we had another fun night out at Tillman's Road House.
