first, my apologies. second, major muchness found!

hello again folks.

first off, i would like to apologize for going MIA

for so long, but so many things were happening at once.

things worth blogging about, but truth be told, i was a little

shell-shocked and wanted the time to savor this

big piece of news all by my self.

so to give you all an update of what's been going on

these past four months, well, let's say pictures

speak louder than words.

 

and then...

after that we...

it's been the weirdest four months of my life.

so many different emotions at once, so many dreams and

so many plans. i hope to share every moment of this, 

my biggest adventure, here, hoping that one day

my little one will have a cache of memories

to share and to cherish.

strawberry cupcakes

hubby has a work gathering tomorrow, so i was

assigned the task to bake something good. since my 

bug guy is in the rarely seen mood of sharing *gasp*

well, i couldn't say no, so here they are.

tadaa!

the toilet paper tree

sometimes i am amazed at myself and my inherent

ability to transform things that are absolutely purposeless

giving them a meaningful existence and a sense of belonging.

but, what do you do with a piece of decoration so unassuming, 

boring and just downright ugly to the point that you have no choice

but to confine the poor object to an existence in the most abject 

room of the house, namely the toilet room?  

i'll tell you what i did. i put it in the toilet room and 

stared at it while... well, you know. i have to say it was inspiring.

however, i felt bad for the poor thing, serving as decoration

 in such an undignified room so i started thinking, there's

must be something i could do with this thing, and then it hit me! 

right in the middle of aisle #17 at Target while staring 

at my pack of Charming toilet paper. 

those adorable bears that are always whipping their butts

behind the bushes in the woods for everyone to see. 

and i wondered, where do they keep the toilet paper? 

they must have a toilet paper tree. and that's how it came 

to me, like a revelation, an epiphany of epic proportions.

behold!

the toilet paper tree!

it still not pretty, but at least it has a purpose now.

relaxing sunday

i get excited every friday, like everybody else, due to the impending 

arrival of the weekend. however, i can't help but get an inevitable

feeling of despair on sunday, due to the impending arrival of 

monday. to help me cope with my psychosis i try to relax

as much as possible on sundays and try not to think 

of that unmentionable day of the week.

 

 

a good book + a facial mask +  freixenet wine minis 

= a relaxing sunday

muchness found! vol2

a couple of weeks ago, i went to this antiques

store close to my place of work. i didn't have anything in mind 

except spending my lunch hour doing some window shopping

just to kill some time. but what did you know,

i found a couple of treasures that i found 

impossible to leave behind.

first find was this 1940's blue velvet cap hat.

second was this hand painted peacock fan circa 1960's

next was this ivory wool coat circa 1957

and last, but not least, my favourite out of all of my finds.

my 1970's, broken in, feathered eagle cowboy boots!

Aren't they awesome?!

P.S.

these aren't vintage by any means, well, maybe vintage 

looking, but I assure you they are quite new.

But, aren't they the cutest little oxfords

you've ever seen???

rainy days

today all my best plans were laid to waste.

the weather put a damper on my very first

outfit post. oh well, i guess we need

the rain more than we need yet another

vintage loving girl's display of style.

my mom always told me that the rain brings 

nothing but blessing. 

well, then, let it bless!

muchness wanted

five things i can't stop thinking about...

the perfect mango sorbet color for summer

 

sailor tops

my new boater hat!

painting my room a grey-ish blue color.

i know it sounds dreary, but i find it very relaxing.
