Summer Dessert


It's been in the triple digits here in Texas! So I decided to make something cool and refreshing. The result: Chocolate fruit tarts!

Cute as a button!


Since I love vintage things I decided to start collecting a "few" vintage buttons for a jar of mine. Call me odd, but as I was looking through them the other day I started thinking about what kind of outfits those buttons may have been on, what kind of stories could these buttons tell and what kind of places they have been! Maybe they were sewed on an overcoat for a drive through the snow, or maybe they came off an apron from someone working in a cute little cafe in Italy! Whatever it may be they are cute and I love them!

Purple and perfect!


Nothing makes a girl feel great than a pair of cute shoes! Especially when they are purple heels and have an adorable flower. These are definitely going on my wishlist!

Vintage Crochet

I absolutely love vintage things! A couple of months ago someone gave my mom a vintage kitchen washcloth that was crocheted...it was so unique! I fell in love with it so much that I decided to teach myself to crochet just so I could make one for myself. I found and bought a set of bamboo crochet hooks and some thread and started crafting!


I know that since I made it it's not vintage but it looks like it! It came out better than I thought, especially since I didn't have a pattern!
