What I Wore Wednesday

I am linking up today with Lindsay at The Pleated Poppy blog for What I Wore Wednesday where I post outfits that I have worn throughout the week. This helps me to stay accountable for how I look each day. As a stay at home mom it is so easy to not worry about how I look so this little post each week helps me to think about what to wear and to take the time.

Exciting Flea Market Find

This is the reason, ok one of the reasons, that I love flea market shopping. I also love finding things that are time worn and one of a kind, but this great find sums up my excitement about heading out to the flea market, saving money, re-using, and not buying knew all the time.


I found this great pillar holder for $5.00. It had a candle on it (that was probably not going to light again) and was marked $12.00. The vendor came over and told me she would take $10 for both. I told her I didn't need the candle, I had planned to offer her $8.00 but actually would have paid $10 and left the candle, she then told me she would take $5.00 for just the candle holder. I jumped at it.



Then, low and behold, yesterday I received my new Pottery Barn catalog in the mail, and on page 11, I see this picture.

THAT'S MY CANDLE HOLDER !!!



I even checked it on line so I could zoom in and get a closer look.

It's mine.

It's the large diameter candle that is currently selling for $49.00.

That is a $45.00 savings!!!!!

I love it even that much more now!

Tomorrow is the flea market again and you can bet that I will be there!

J Crew - Look for Spring and Crew Cut dress

I saw this shirt and skirt paired together at a JCrew store. It was perfectly sweet and went so great together. I have a shirt like this one and am now waiting for the skirt to, maybe, hopefully, go on SALE! Love a Sale and, well, that is the only way I would be able to get this skirt.





And...


I found this little dress for my little girl at Crew Cuts a few weeks ago on sale. I thought it would be perfectly sweet for Valentines Day or Easter or for parties. It was at a great price so I snatched it up. It's hard to find sweet little girl dresses for girls over the toddler age. Whenever I can I try to get them so that I can keep her looking like a little girl for as long as I can.

I don't like all of the sparkle, stretchy, sequin styles that a lot of places carry for a 6-7 year old or they look to little with turtles or flowers. This one fits the bill perfectly.



Have a great Monday!!

Now I know that I am not one for the cold but this picture is breathtaking. I love images of the beach in any kind of weather. I have been so lucky to visit cape cod during winter and it as beautiful as this picture. I once dreamed of owning a little cafe near the beach in cape cod (that was before I visited) and this is what I always envisioned.

Other thoughts,
Did you hear the one where the dog ate the kids homework? Well, my dog ate a cake that I worked 5 hours on for a customer that was to be delivered today. Ok, not the whole cake,but the whole cake had to be remade. UGH! Thankfully a very kind customer that doesn't mind waiting for the new cake. Thank goodness it was for an event that is not until tomorrow.

Have a great weekend.

Birthday Party Inspiration

I don't know about any one else, but I start planning my little girls birthday party pretty early. I'm not sure if it's because I only have one, or that I love planning, or I need the time to get it all together. I seem to start thinking of it right after Christmas. This year it was pretty early since my daughter declared what kind of party she wanted. Since she got her American Girl doll she decided that she wanted an American Girl party. Well, ok, that sounds cute, but not being one to want to do a "licensed" type of party I had to come up with a plan. My plan is.....

See if you can come up with it from the clues










Jasmine (the doll) is looking a little unkempt. Ooops. My daughter would not be happy with me right now. Maybe we can name her Francesca just for the party. Smile.

I am excited with this theme and is one I can run with. I found some of these cute things today and am excited for the planning process. I love party time.

Kat-n-Ty Designs

What a cute idea for those of you with little ones that are all about their American Girl dolls. We are new to the American Girl frenzy and my little one can't get enough. She goes where ever we go, has dinner and breakfast with us, and even needs hugs and kisses goodnight. It's sweet. I think this is the perfect little gift for your little lady and her American Girl doll.

I ordered the pink and green one for Valentines day for my little girl.

Too sweet.





You can find them here and all of the designs she offers.
