Sunday Joy

Happy Monday everyone. (Yeah, I know, it's Monday-bleh but I try to be happy)

Sunday for us in N. Michigan was BEAUTIFUL! It was nice and warm, so Tom filled my bike tire with air and away we went to the downtown region. We got our first frozen chai to celebrate! I was also sporting my first t-shirt of the year as well! YAHOO!!!


We also washed the window's down, this kitty was totally enjoy the sunshine.

Hamlet, as most of you know him, loves going outside! I have a harness for him so while I was racking this trouble maker was enjoying the breeze. After I took him inside, he was wild man. Terrorizing Nanaki all night. Haha, it was rather funny. (And yes, he is rather chunky! Don't let the stretching fool you. He's like 14lbs. Little head, big belly)


Tom loves cake, I love cupcakes. So when I went to make a "cake" there was too much batter left. So I made two cupcakes for us last night. Yummy chocolate frosting. HEY! we had a BIG bike-ride yesterday, it was our treat!

So, it was a good thing we took our bike-ride earlier. Because, around 6:30p.m. last night, this happened. Another light show with thunder RIGHT after. It scared me and Hamlet who was in the kitchen with me. He was so startled that he flew into the bedroom. I didn't see him till about 9:00 that night! BUT! look! no more snow! opps better not jinx this. Our bird-feeder is suppose to have a baffle on it to keep squirrels off, but the rain was sooo heavy it pushed the baffle down to the ground. INSANE! Friday was a big surprise. I wish Tom had told me to bring my camera. We went over to his folks for dinner, and low and behold, Jenny was up from Ohio (Jenny being Tom's sister) Cali (niece) and Joshua (nephew) were there as well. Joshua was adorable! Tom fed him and afterwords, ( I still laugh at this) Tom was holding Josh up and as Josh went to smile and giggle, he threw up a little right on Tom. Haha! I couldn't help myself. We asked if Cali could be our flower girl for our wedding. She was very excited! I cannot believe how fast this wedding is coming up. INSANE!

Happy Monday!

Spring Weekend

Okay, so last night it was storming to beat the band. It was a fantastic light show at 2 a.m. It was thundering every few minutes. Pretty cool actually (if you like thunderstorms). However, it does put a damper on yard work. Oh well. We got a lot done yesterday, so it was a fairly productive weekend, thus far.

So for today, house work, the sun really want to come out, the blue sky is shinning, but then it goes away, then comes back and well you get the idea.

Speaking of which, don't forget to use SPRING15 for 15% off at my etsy store! How cool is that?

So let's celebrate! Use Coupon Code: SPRING15 for 15% off at my etsy store. So go and shop because the tulip says so. haha

Friday Favorites

Today is a time to celebrate. Not only is it Friday, but it is sunny outside and the temp will be 60!!! HOLY MOLY!!!! So, let's kick it off today!!!

Okay, so I love my turban headbands, (if you can't already tell) I have them in several colors, but this blue is my current fav! Want one? (because I know you secretly do) email me!


This ruffle blue tank for Old Navy is adorable. Now, lately I'm feeling really girly, but I don't care, I love ruffles right now. haha

Frames & Names has this adorable print. I've been looking for more prints to hang around our house. Perhaps this will go on my bridal shower list :)
Okay, if you read my prior post, you will know that I just made my first tote bag. It turned out amazingly! Ali Foster has some of the thee cutest patterns around!! Love that pleated bag with the bow!!! Plus, you can sell what you make, totally cool!!!


Be Something New has this adorable headband. I've been searching around for something for my dress. Really cute! I even think the moss green would be great for our wedding since it's a 'fall theme'



This cardigan is super cute. Target has it in the girls section. (yes I said girls) Yes, I can wear girls clothes, haha the L and XL fit me perfectly. Silly, I know, but they are usually 1/2 the price! Plus look at those ruffles, aren't they cute? I know.




Last, but certainly not least, is this super cute, fun spring necklace from tamar. I love the covered buttons, and what's more adorable, is they don't match!! I've always been ocd about stuff matching. I'm starting to break out of that mold. (note my clutches, different patterns!!) Perhaps, I'll take that to my totes as well! We shall see!


So, everyone, have a great Friday!! Enjoy that spring weather! Yard work awaits (joys of home-ownership) I cannot wait to get the yard all spruced up for spring. My bulbs are coming in too. I'll take a pic!

Take Care!

New Products

Ta-DAH!!!!

It's a tote! (but Jill, stick around, I will have skirts up soon! Thanks for commenting :))


This tote per-say wont be in the shop, it's just for me. It's a tester, there a few mistakes in it, but I still love it! I plan on having more up soon! I just know that now, I can make totes!!


But, here's a new clutch. I love the light blue on orange together! Awesome spring colors. :)

My Boys

Just thought I would share a quick post with you. Hamlet (black and white) and Nanaki (grey) They're not birth-brothers but they are at heart.

They are resting in their 'the brown-rounder' (their bed) as we call it. Aren't they cute? I love them dearly!
