To skate or not to skate...

Big time update... but for starters, we must talk about these skates. I have been wanting a pair of roller skates for a long time now. I want to have something fun to do while my husband skate boards, and I thought this would be perfect! Although I have not skated since I was a kid, I remember having fun... But you know me... I can have just regular boring skates, they must be vintage and they must be cute! I look regularly online and never find them in my size... until yesterday! So I made a pact with myself last night... if I sold something in my shop worth $50, I would buy these... well I did! But I still dont have the courage to spend $50 on skates! eeeekkk, I dont know what to do. I know they are worth it, Im just not use to spending money on things like this. We are trying to save our hard earned money to build a house one day... So I am at a road block, do I get the skates or not???????

In other news, for my Miss Match diptych project last week, I got to pair up with the lovely Andrea Despot, and our prompt was player. We first came up with this elaborate idea of a woman daydreaming about her man, who happened to be out cheating on her... but as the week passed by, I became worried I would not be able to fit James into a shoot, so last minute, we changed it all up into a 'musical instrument' theme for player. We went with a 70's retro vibe, and I just adore how they look together.

And, I just got a new PPP dress, and Im in love with it! So fun and cute for spring! And of course, its perfect with my ratty old cons... If you do not own something from her shop, then go now! You should!!!!

Now for some newbies to my shop! Many of these are gone, but some are still hanging out in the shop just waiting for that special person :)

Some of my new tshirt dresses...

I was so excited to find this Yellow Rose of Texas shirt, being a texas girl myself!

And I had to get this shirt b/c of an inside joke with my husband and his buddies, but then I found out that it may have something to do with 'twilight' ???

One of my all time faves... so in love with the vintage fabric on this!

love love love how this dress came out...

new pillow case tops!

I think my favorite jumper of all time! Who doesnt love dinosaurs???

Crochet vests... um.... love!!!

the back of this one has a patch from a vintage baby quilt

pretty much the best vest ever!

new style pillow case dresses!

can also be worn as a long boho skirt...

And some new jewelry on the store front...

I LOVE my new wooden musical instrument necklaces!!! still have more to add to the shop, and other wooden things like large fun scissors and eyeglasses and umbrellas!!!

I guess that is all for now...

PEACE,
