Hello lovely friends! I have recently made a few small splurges on things that I am in total love with. They are things that just make me happy and smile.
For instance I cant wait to wear these 60's vintage mod gold lame shoes I purchased on Etsy. WOW! A perfect fit and will look cute with a pair of jeans and sweater.
I am a HUGE fan of Jamie's Simply Me Art jewelry. All her pieces are divine! I took one look at this bracelet and fell in love with glitz and glam mixed with a bit of whimsy. ๐
How gorgeous are these figurines? Another fabulous Etsy purchase. They sit sweetly in my dining room.
For those of you that might have daughters or granddaughters it's always fun to buy hairbows and hair accessories. Im in love with Shannon of Goldilocks hair barrettes. So fun & whimsical!
On a recent antique shop outing I found some cute little treasures and keepsakes. The DARLING Lollie Lamb book was a gift from my lovely super sweet friend Deanna Glory.
Just recently me and several of the ladies that attended my En Le Jardin event all got together and created a memory book that was hosted by my lovely friend Kim Caldwell. We each contributed a page for us to display our photos in. Kim's contribution was the cover page and putting the whole book together. I LOVE IT!!!! Each page is sooo pretty inside and what a fabulous keepsake I will cherish forever!
Speaking of Kim…..I am THRILLED to announce that I am going to L.A. in September to attend one of her FAMOUS & DIVINE events. She is the Queen of Art Events and I am SO excited to finally be attending one. I also must admit Im super giddy at the opportunity to meet SO many West Coast gals that I've been DYING to meet!
***NEWSFLASH**** Lollishops is hosting a Christmas in July party! WHOO-HOO! Gosh, can you believe Christmas will be here in 5 months??? SHEESH!
Anyoo, what a fun time to attend and wet our whistle for the GRAND holiday that we know will be here before we know it. ๐
Guess what else Im LOVING??? Natasha is a HUGE fan of Project Runway as I, and she is hosting a "Revamp It" challenge. Take an old piece of clothing and give it a "makeover".
Im loving the swap my darling sweet as pie friend Stephenie is hosting. It's " I thought of you swap". Ya know when your out shopping at an antique market or flea market and you see something that catches your eye and instantly you think of your friend. Well….that's the swap! You find sweet treasures that make you think of your friend. Im THRILLED that my swap partner is the HOSTESS herself!!! YAY!!! This is going to be fun shopping for Miss Stephenie!
Lastly, I love catching up with old friends. Last weekend a long time friend of mine that I went to High School name Jason drove down from Atlanta to spend the day with me and catch up on all the years that have gone by. My little 21 year old bro Brock (pictured on the left) was a little toddler back in the day of our high school years.
I would LOVE to know what you YOU are in love with right now! A good book? New outfit? Vintage find?
Have a fabulous & creative weekend sweet friends!!!

All your lovely purchases are just as sweet as you! I am thrilled at such finds!
Right now I am into buying clothes, clothes and shoes. Being back home in California I once again have access to all my favorite shops!
Fun fun fun! Those gold vintage shoes are divine! I used to have a pair of pointed gold 1950’s pumps with the thinest high heel you’ve ever seen! I have saved most of my vintage items through the years but for some reason those ended up getting tossed or donated. I wish I had them now. They were gorgeous!
I am so thrilled that you’ll be coming to Kim’s event in Sept. It will be here before we know it!!
