Etsy Loving: Black & White & Green All Over

Hi there darlings, 

I'm black and white and green all over today with very favorite Etsy finds & a couple of cuties from my shop as well.  With spring (and St. Patty's Day for that matter) right around ye olde corner, I was kind of on a green/nature inspired kick here:

Foxhole Print Shop

With a name like Foxhole Print Shop, I couldn't help but just be drawn to Nicole's quirky, sweet, and cool shop of inky illustrations.  She was so very kind to send me her Dapper Dandy Dude below who is now gracing the wall in my living room, sweetly watching over my piano corner as I play.  If you are in the market for some wall whimsies yourself, I would highly recommend taking a hop on over to her shop.  Not only are her prices very reasonable, but her illustrations are full of cool detail and seriously as cute as they come.  Oh and Nicole is an absolute sweetheart as well!

Oh hello there darlings,

I'm still hanging in there getting closer and closer to my due date.  The very latest is that I'm 3cm dilated, 80% effaced, and the baby's head is down...all very good news to my ears.  As for now, the weather has cooled down and it feels quite refreshing actually as carrying around a little bundle in your belly is like carrying around your own portable heater - so I'm welcoming the cool breeze and even the chance to don some boots and tights any of these days.  

In other randomness...lakeside walks are lovely and so is watching all the locals who fish here in the park.  Kind of makes me want to join along in the fun.  And I'm telling you still, vintage tent dresses and babydolls have saved the day and kept me from burning a hole in my wallet.  I would highly recommend going this route if you are pregnant as opposed to dropping your dollars on maternity wear.

There you have it.  I'm finished with my rambling...it's Friday and all I want to do is lay by the lake, plant some more veggies in my garden, and perhaps concoct some kind of frozen treat...like chocolate covered coconut frozen bananas.  Wish me luck my friends!

Love Bunches,

Happy Friday Darlings, 

Seems to me that these weeks are flying by faster than ever...before I know it, my little baby boy will be making his arrival into this beautiful world.  But in the meantime, this week has been another busy one...mainly because I have been involved in planning a bridal shower for one of my very close friends.  

As the shower has a British Tea Party theme to it - my role today has been whipping up the truffles.  Nutella flavored confections, anyone?  By the time this is all said and done I will have oodles and oodles, so come on over to my kitchen and help yourself :-)  

Other than that, the very sweet Laura of Shop of Worldly Delights on Etsy sent me the cutest package full of hair bows from her Vintage Garden Collection.  Seriously, I couldn't have been more delighted (no pun intended), being a bow-wearing kind of gal myself.  Better yet, the whole collection is made from repurposed vintage pieces and fabrics, so it's 100% earth friendly. I can't wait to share more of these little beauties with you because the prints on them are whimsical and darling to the umpteenth power.  I stuck this particular one on my little red beret as the weather was windy and dancing in the mid 20s.  Yep, spring surely hasn't sprung on my side of the mountain yet but this little pastel bow surely puts some spring in my step...hehe.  You can check out Laura's shop right here if you do so please.

Well then, have one perfectly sweet weekend my dears!  Catch you soon!

Room 334 & A Trick or Treat Sweet

Happy Halloween Darlings!

Come and knock on the door at Room 334 today.  That's where I am hiding out.  I'm getting all nostalgic and talking about how this coat was the start of everything....

Take a hop, skip, and a jump THIS WAY to meet me there.

And though I may not be dressing up this year since this week finds me in wedding celebration, I am giving away a lovely little trick-or-treat sweet over at Madalynne on behalf of my shop AllyHoot Vintage in celebration of Halloween.

Hop THIS WAY and snag yourself a pretty little tapestry bag...

Hope your day is full of ghouls, sweet treats, and spooky surprises! 

Love Bunches,

Hello there darlings, 

Boy oh boy how amazing it feels to be up and at it and back to my normal self again!  Of course, this called for some outdoor play with the fam and a little celebration out to get water ice because the evening was just so warm and beautiful to pass that offer up.

As for today - well I'm off on a field trip this very minute to a local apple orchard with my son and his preschool class.  I am so very excited as this is his very first field trip and I am chaperoning for it!  My first one was to the mall to go to Orange Julius (do they still have these around?) when I was 2.  As I was the youngest (and tinniest) in the class I was at the very back of the line holding the teacher's aide's hand.  Of course I really don't remember this, but my mom (being a tad nervous & curious) apparently went to the mall and kind of spied to check up on me and make sure I was alright - it being my first field trip and all.    I always found that story rather amusing, but I could totally see myself doing the same thing if I were not there for my son's :)  

Do any of you recall your first field trip?  

Talk soon darlings!
Love Bunches,
