Channeling Emma Pillsbury...

I am a gleek...but mostly just to see what Emma Pillsbury will be wearing every episode.  I am in LOVE with her style and I am now adding some accessories to my shop which are totally inspired by her look!

I'm starting with sweater clips...omg how much do I love these.  You can make your own super easy with a pair of clip on earrings and a little bit of chain but I am adding my fabulous fabric flowers and vintage rhinestone to the clips in my shop.

More Emma goodies to come!

Girls Night Out Kit

Okay so when in reality I'm going to Chuckie Cheese tonight with my hubby and my little guys, in my fantasy I'm going out with the girls for a Bon Jovi concert (at which point Bon Jovi will call me onstage and sing to me and profess his love...a girl can dream right?). This is a little kit I've designed for such occasion, or just a calm girls night with friends.  Complete with a girly flask, retro double sided mirror and mini glam hair pin...with these tools who wouldn't have a fun night! 

I do love Chuckie Cheese though...I'm hooked on the pizza.

Retro Poppy-tini Recipe

I love martinis.  I do.  There's something so classy yet flirty about them.  I wanted to create a special recipe for all of my fellow martini lovers...so here it is. It's sweet with a retro splash.

1 part citrus vodka

1 part passion fruit nectar (goya brand in the international food section)

splash of Fresca

Pour vodka and nectar in to a shaker with ice...shake it baby!  Strain into a chilled martini glass and add a splash of Fresca.

Cheers!

Vintage Blooms for a Summer Party...

I am constantly trying to come up with new ways to combine vintage treasures into my fabric flower designs.  Sometimes I use vintage fabrics and vintage rhinestones in my blooms and recently I've been lucky enough to come across some fabulous vintage plastic flowers. I created some pretty fabric flowers with tulle and chiffon then added layers of these vintage flower finds as their centers. These little beauties are so fun and the colors are just perfect for a summer party. I am planning on having a few folks over for the Memorial Day weekend and I will be wearing some of these new flowers as I'm sipping Strawberry Lemonade (or a margarita) in the backyard!

Snow Baby!

I love snow!  We just got 32 inches of it...even though it's beautiful, I guess that's a little much.  Being snowed in is really fun though, all of the baking, crafting, snuggling...it's very calming.  I'm finding my self inspired to create new goodies and have the time to work on my "back shelf" projects too.  Here's my Vintage Snow Hair Flowers to celebrate the blizzard!
