White Sangria!

One of my best friends birthdays was this week, this is the recipe I used for sangria, the wine, and liqueur type can be replaced, depending on how fancy you are feeling.

 Sparkling water, One bottle of white wine and three shots of apple liquer.

 Half a lemon

 Apple slices

 raspberries

and half a lime. 

You mix the wine and shots together, add the fruit (you can put whatever you fancy in there, this is just what I did) keep cold, and when served, top off the glass with some sparkling water! Yum!

Hope you guys are staying safe!

It's a wonderful life.

This past weekend (14th to the 19th) the one and only, wonderful Boyfriend of mine came to visit.
I picked him up from the air port in Denver, we went to get lunch at Ikea (yum! Meatballs!) We also ran around the store looking at furniture ideas. Fun!
Then we got home and had margaritas and wine.
We spent a day at the zoo, too fun!
And drove south a couple of hours, to spend a day at Mission:Wolf. We learned a lot and had a blast.
We also went to Joe's Crab Shack and had some awesome drinks called Shark Bite!
Anyways, a few pictures for you!

 Pretty sunset on the way home from M:W

 Isn't his smile the cutest?

Tomorrow is girl day, and I've seen some dish ideas floating around the internet I think I am going to try.

Smitten Little Kitten

This past week was my birthday week, and I want to thank everyone who made my birthday special. I truly love you guys.
I went garage sale hunting, and met the lovely Rachel Denbow (smileandwave link on the side) and walked away with this beauty:

The two fabrics under neath it are going to be table clothes, or pillow fabric for the living space.

I also got a lovely purse and shorts and dress this week:

 

I hung out with Jenna and we rocked our wide brim hats!

 This was my birthday outfit! I even fixed my hair!

                                                  We had a birthday dinner at Maggiano's

 

I went to a family friend's vintage tea party birthday shower and this hankie was a favor. I am in LOVE!

Have a wonderful week darlings!

Chicken soup is good for the soul:

This week I've been a bit down, so I headed to (one of) the local goodwill. The plate used to have a matching Tea cup for holding make up brushes and such. It, ahem. broke in the unfortunate tea cup massacre of 2012. (I kid, my pup knocked it down) so I needed to replace it. This chicken soup bowl/cup/drinkthing (scientific name) now holds the Make up, and the brushes. perfect.

Thrifting it the fastest way to cheer me up.

Have a beautiful day darlings.

Fish&Racecars

This week I've been in the process of planing some projects, so I don't have one to share quite yet. BUT! I have had an amazing week.

Yesterday, I went to the Denver aquarium to watch my "special interest" dive with the sharks. I got there and a stranger gave me free entry, just randomly decided to give me a wristband he already paid for. How nice?!
Anyways, enjoy:

Then the sir and I made our way to speedway races, the carts hit 50 mph! After that we stopped and got some amazing pizza and I found this beauty of a game.

Can you tell I'm a sucker for Cap? I also saw the Avengers this week, and spent sometime at Gold Camp for a friends birthday.
Have a good week Dollfaces!

Mom Shorts = Pockets that hold, EVERYTHING.

The past few weeks I have not had very many projects going on, but I did get two things done. Pillow's and Mom shorts.

First I went to the fabric store (Joanne's) and bought some cute vintage style fabric pieces.

(check out that denim couch!) I took them, cut them in half (saving the rest for later) and made three pillows. (does any one else use their couch as a pin cushion? No? Just me?)

Tada! Easy, easy, easy.

This next project was inspired by Sierrashima_  fellow instagrammer, she's a doll check her out.
I went to the Salvation Army and got some mom jeans (no before pic sorry) and cut them off, rolled them up and sewed some lace onto the pocket. SO EASY.

  

I paired them with a white tee and this gem that I got thrifting from YEARS ago. 

                                     

XX Have a stunning week!

Earrings and Lace

You know this little pretty, you've seen it on pintrest, lace in a frame to hold earrings. I made one.
Goodwill had lace curtains for 1.59 (military discount day!) and hobby lobby had a free standing frame for about 15 dollars. I was all set to paint a frame white, but as luck would have it they had the PERFECT one!

So with a little help from my lovely momma we took some lace, held it tight and attacked it with hot glue AND super glue. Yeah, we are THAT thorough.

then we cut off the excess lace (don't worry, I have a plan for that!) admired our (sticky) handy work and it came out in a very messy, but pleasing, result!
flipped it around and hung it on the wall with my antler necklace holder! Tada!!

 Yes, that picture again.
Happy sunday lovelies!
