Church Sale

Who doesn't love a good church sale?  Just added a bunch of items to the SALE section of the shop, everything there is only $10! (Wh-WHA!)  Yup, just in time for those who didn't fulfill their 2012 resolutions to buy more vintage, or those who want to get a jump on their 2013 ones. Start the New Year right, buy vintage and then drink lots and lots of champagne! 

 

Happy New Year everyone!

Elf on a Shelf (Live Action Version )



Elf on a Shelf (live action), the resemblance is freaky

Who needs a $30 elf from Amazon when you can dress your four year olds in elf pajamas and perch them on top of the furniture? We're all about keeping it real here. 

 

After the in house photo shoot we pulled an elf flash mob at the local mall to have pictures with Santa. They made quite a scene and totally stole Santa's thunder.  Jack loves the camera as made evident above, but when he finally met Santa he sort of went into shock, I think he might not even be breathing here:

But If there ever was a day to find your inner Fitzgerald today is it!  Happy Repeal Day!!  Hopefully you all will remember where you parked your livers in the morning.

Fixtures

I'm selling some of my store fixtures, sorry about the clutter in the photo but we've undertaken a major clean out to make room for a new project and hopefully a move.  There is still an additional two sections not photographed. 

These can accomodate any ceiling height, and you can have one entire section just filled with shelves if you want, completey customizable for business or home.   You can check out the listing here.  If interested just reply to the ad! Looking forward to clearing out the space.

A Bit O'Green

I panicked a bit last night after putting the babes down for bedtime, I walked out of their room and the, "oh my God tomorrow is Friday and I have not done one shop update yet this week!"  I don't even know how that happened when I purposely stopped working in the daytime not only to be focused more on my children but because I could get work done quicker without interruption in the evenings. Need to re-evaluate, but seriously not going to sweat it

So here is Thursday's update which is technically Monday's.  Certainly containing older pieces that I normally would hoard, but the need for a bit o' green is calling especially with the height of my buying season fast approaching.

Memento Amore

This is what my husband gifted me for Valentine's Day. Or rather I picked out and he payed for, haha. Nothing says I love you more than 14 K and a dead person's hair. I think it's rather romantic, for someone to love someone so much to take a piece of them and memorialize them in such a way to make it possible to always have them with them. 

The hubs is very aware that he will be expected to do this with me in the event of my death, but just between you and I think he'll be kicking the bucket first and my dreams of becoming jewelry when I die will never be realized, sigh.  I guess we're just going to have to wait and see, hopefully for a REALLY long time.   Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

NOTE: A memento mori is not a mourning ring, BUT a mourning ring could be considered a memento mori.  The difference being memento mori's were not made to mourn any specific person, but as a reminder that you will die.  Mourning rings were made to commemorate a person who has died and as a subsequent result becomes a reminder of ones mortality.
