blogger, you better check yo self

because when you are always on the fritz and won't let me upload photos, or you delete all the blog worlds newest posts... it makes me frus-ter-ated.

And since I know your day wouldn't be complete without weenie wednesday {whose would be?!} I'll post some pics of my girls today instead. Did I mention they remind me of Mr. Popper's Penguins?

Eva is a mix between loudy and lovey.

 My sweet Peach is a mix of lovey and stinky.

And I am apparently a new breed of crazy bird.

Do you ever see different kinds of animals and they remind you of your own sweet furbabies?
No?
Me either ;)

Summer fun

I feel like road runner. With all the absolutely beautiful weather, I feel like I'm running around leaving a trail of smoke behind me! 

My mom found this table for $12. 

I sanded...

I primed...

I painted...                                                                  Then Distressed...

 Voila! It's ready to go in my mom's sweet little shop :)

I've also been enjoying the pool, along with friends, family, 

and this watermelon margarita {which I didn't hate ;)}!

~YUM~

 I have also been forced to sip on delicious mint spritzers.

Isn't summer rough?!

I hope you all are enjoying the long hours of sunshine :)

meep-meep

Vacay in the BayBay

I've been absent from the blog world for a bit, but for good reason! We took a quick trip this last week to San Francisco and the surrounding areas for the wedding of some awesome friends. I wanted to make a fabulous movie of our travels, but for the sake of time {and my lack of movie making skills} I made a little slideshow for fun. Here's our trip, in a little nutshell :) Can't wait to catch up with all of you!

Make a digital slideshow

a few things...

I can't remember what I was going to blog about, but it wasn't this. I just couldn't resist bragging on these wonderful wedding vendors featured on this inspiration shoot featured on Style Me Pretty.

They borrowed my FAVE dress from our shop right now, and it is magical!

I'm particularly ecstatic that two wonderful vendors from our very own wedding, our photographer James, and our baker from Intricate Icings got to showcase their talent :)

Some of you may recognize the cake from the inspiration board?!

Check out the shoot and video!

I like to craft it-craft it

happy weenie Wednesday from my little velvet jellybean, Eva :)

The rainy weather today and tomorrow is perfect for cleaning, crafting, movies, and soup and sandwiches!

 in my down time, I try to make things to put in my mom's little antique shop.

This little hair clip bloom was so simple!

 I made a HUGE silk bow headband for derby parties 

or any other event you automatically want to make more fabulous.

 ruffles. I LIVE for ruffles!

 My dear friend Amber, with her baby Dexter, humoring me in a ruffled tank I made for her 

I made this apron for my friend, Zahra, who should open up a cafe, she is such a gifted cook & chef! 

She is always slaving away making us goodies...

Lastly, on this crazy wednesday post, I so appreciate your positive words and thoughts towards my mom. Our family feels them and a doctor gave us some promising news this week <3

Please keep the prayers coming, you wonderful people!

Have a FAB rest of your week darlings.

A wedge between David and I

Literally.a Wedge. Between David. And I.

What is it about vacations that make me want a whole new wardrobe?! It's something about wanting everything about your trip to be extra special.
David? Does not share this sentiment with me. If you want to see live entertainment, put David and I in the Roman Coliseum NOT with spears, but with my laptop, and A debit card. Bickering and pouting will ensue like you've never seen, as I attempt to save my "life" {read: convince David this Piperlime sale ends SOON and I need to act on these wedges something fierce!}


David's metaphorical spear back to me was "I trust you to make the right decision, love."

UURRRRGGHH!

So I did. I went to my shopping cart with said wedge, and clicked PURCHASE


Don't make that face. It's why he loves me :)

The wedge between David and I

You see, it really was a great compromise in the end. What I really wanted, were these Stuart Weitzmans that my girl Jen Aniston has been wearing around town...

on another note, I believe the Missoni- Havaiana collab flip flops and espadrilles just came out-and are all SOLD OUT. Would you consider spending upwards of $60 on this fun collaboration?

On another completely different but worlds more important note, now that I have you, my mom has been dealing with some pretty serious health scares, and I know my whole family would appreciate any prayers for her health sent our way:)
love you mom!

For Audrey...And for the love of doxies

I have been looking for just the right turquoise blue polish for a few years I'd say. Pretty random, but a necessity nonetheless.

I finally found it : For Audrey.

How precious is that? 

I put it to the test and yup, it is perfect match to that classic Tiffany blue :)

 For Audrey, from China glaze obv.

It looks pretty cute with my turquoise jewels too!

Missa, I didn't forget it's weenie wednesday. 

And this week, my poor girl seems to be having an identity crisis. 

Her little fang hangs out just for fun, and she pretends she is the big bad wolf from little red riding hood.

What a big nose you have!

Take it Obe:

The bigger the dream
The rougher the ride

The truer the love
The deeper the ache

The blinder the faith

The tougher the go

The higher you reach
The further the sky

The more miles you walk
The longer the road

The steeper you climb
The harder you stand to fall

The stronger you get
The heavier the load

{as sung to him by the Gabe Dixon Band}
