More Painted Jewelry

I guess I've gone a little crazy with the nail polish lately,

ever since I painted an old rhinestone bracelet.

I had another rhinestone stretch bracelet

that was not that sparkly,

so I decided to do it rainbow colors.

 

I love how it turned out!

 

Then I painted some boring silver pins that I had.

 

It's nice to have more colorful pins to wear now!

Mom's embroidery

Here are some beautiful examples of my 

late mom's embroidery.

She embroidered dish towels for me 

a long time ago, and I've used them for many years.

I've been meaning to cut them out of the towels 

and preserve them some way, 

and once my mom passed I really felt it was overdue.

So I put them into embroidery hoops 

and hung them on the wall in my studio.

I will take a pick of them hung soon. 

I hope you enjoy them.

My mom was so talented, I just had to share!

Thrifty Finds

My latest finds at the thrift are so exciting!

I found this vintage dress in the most fab floral!

It's too big, but I plan on altering it 

or making it into a skirt.

 

 

Then I found some great fabric

and a fun vintage pattern.

 

This pattern even has an embroidery 

transfer!

 

Bye for now!

What I Wore

Last weekend was so nice, 

I was excited to wear this outfit!

Skirt, beads and vintage blouse: thift

Purse and pin: vintage

 Sandals: Target

My girl and I did matching toe nails. 

I love doing polka dots!

 

 Later in the day we spent some time outside.

I had the door open to let in the breeze 

which Smoke thoroughly enjoyed!

 

And we went up to the top of her play fort

which I call the tree house.

 

We stayed long enough to enjoy the sunset.

 

I love a good sunset!

Holiday Decorating

Here are some random Easter decor pix!

Enjoy!

Spring Evening

The same night we went to the carnival 

it was so beautiful that we went out to the back yard.

The sunset was incredible!

And my girl was having fun in her play area,

swinging on the ladder. 

 

And working on her trapeze skills.

 

 I believe this is the nest of our resident squirrels.

So glad we got out and enjoyed the 

lovely spring evening! 

Bye for now!

 

School Carnival

Last Friday we went to the school carnival

and this is what I wore:

Skirt: made by me

Top and shoes: Target

Belt: Deb

Necklace: thrifted

 We got there at the start, 

so it wasn't too busy yet.

My girl played lots of games including the fishing game.

And the rubber duck race.

And of course, her favorite is the bouncy house! 

Bye for now!

Spring Walk

 The weather has been so beautiful lately

just like spring!

So the other day the hubby and I went for a walk

at a local park.

  We used to live really close to this park

and I would take my little girl for walks there

when she was still in the stroller.

It was so great to get back there, 

can't wait to go back when there is more green!

 Bye for now!

Thrifty Finds

  

Sometimes I don't find a lot at the thrift,

but what I find is so special it doesn't matter!

I mean check out that owl napkin holder

and Hallmark tin!

I'm not sure if you can see it,

but there is a calico fabric that shows through

the plastic, I just love this owl!

And he's in perfect condition, for just $2!

I don't know for sure if this tin is vintage,
or just used images of vintage fabric.
Either way I couldn't resist it for 40 cents!
My favorite is the bird above.
 

Bye for now!
