These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...(right now)

I have some new dresses to put up in the shop, but I sent one out to get cleaned so I thought I would pass the time by sharing some of my personal current favorite things...for sale and not for sale...vintage and new...

Right now I love Cherry Red and Bright Lime Green, and it all started with this necklace from Betsy Johnson and these Flip Flops.

And now I love this dress from lavinialou

Right now I love My Daughter Covered In Guitar Hero Stickers By Her Brother (they weren't very sticky and she didn't feel them when I discovered this and peeled them off of her, thankfully--that would have been much less amusing)

Both my hubby and I are only children, so we're not really sure what to expect in the way of sibling bonding. My 2-year-old is in love with guitars (his favorite bands are The Who and The Ramones and he likes his music LOUD) and he was happily "sharing" his favorite stickers with his sister! She didn't seem to mind and was laughing away at him. He was also singing the ABC's to her.

Right now I love Learning to Sew and I started with this flannel and minkee blanket for my son to take to daycare for naptime.

It was fun, but I need to keep practicing on that straight line! I've always wanted to be the type of mom who does a lot of DIY projects for her kids...And now that I have a girl I'm inspired by all of the pretty possibilities. In fact, I just bought some cherry fabric...hmm...

Another thing I love is time which is something I just can't find enough of! How do we juggle all of things we love...people (children, spouses), hobbies (shopping, clothes, DIY, reading) with the things we must do (work). I think I'm lucky in all of these areas, but I have to admit there are days when I'm overwhelmed and I just want more time than I have...

And now I'm getting Cindy Lauper songs stuck in my head, so I'll bid you all goodnight...
