Calling all friends and wee little children! Are you ready for a sweet treat to the Circus? Well step right up for some yummy cotton candy and a fun show! I've been collecting a few circus theme trinkets and treasures along with some adorable vintage circus reproduction fabric and thought it would be fun to create a super cute whimsical vintage inspired circus shadowbox.

DSCN3036_edited-1How colorful and fun is this? I swear sometimes I think Im a little kid in a grown adult body. hee! hee!

Ok, some people are scared of clowns. Me being one of them. Think the movie Poltergeist and the clown under the bed. CREEPY! However, these pastel little clowns are too stinking cute!

This next project took my breathe AWAY!!!!! Sooooo incredibly beautiful!!!!! Embellished ribbon lanterns created by the "QUEEN" of all things "pretty" Miss Heather . The lace,ribbons, rhinestones just make these lanterns so feminine and dainty. You can create any style, color, theme, or look your little heart desires.

How GORGEOUS would these look hanging up if you were hosting a tea party or spring garden party?

Just a little tip. These lanterns can be found at local party stores in the baby or wedding section. Another option would be a lampshade that you can decorate and hang by a ribbon. Miss Heather will give you all sorts of tips and valuable info on how to create these beauties with your own personal stash of goodies! Are you excited yet??? I know I am!!!

Well girls are ya ready to see some MAJOR CUTENESS??? Meet my darling new fur baby Coco. She is the newest addition to our family.

Lulu my older yorkie isn't too thrilled. She is still showing her teeth everytime Coco bounces and jumps on her. Overtime Im sure Lulu will grow fond of her wild out of control baby sister. 🙂

Have a great Labor Day weekend my friends. I've got Friday night concert tickets to the REGENERATION tour! Total blast from the past 80's music! Let's see if I can scrounge up a big slouchy off the shoulders Forenza sweater, leggings, big wide belt, neon jelly shoes, and my black rubber bracelets. Total Belinda Carlisle! hee! hee!

Hugs & Kisses! XOXO,
