Today

Been a very long week for us. Taking care of Klausey's business takes a lot out of me, but for now it looks like we're on the right track. He gets to have special medicine that makes his water green and fish-flavored, which I'm sure thrills him immensely. :)

Today we went out to the park to spend time walking and enjoying the sun. It was very windy! Which meant of course that nothing was cooperating for pictures, but it was still a very fun afternoon.



Being spring time, the baby ducks are beginning to emerge! These guys were so cute. I know, I know...baby animal photos. But they were so great! Small and fluffy and perfect.









Here's a little blooper for you guys, since Michael always seems to catch me doing something silly. I think this was right after I chased a mean goose away. He was chasing the mama duck and her babies! What a jerk!



I'm off to play The Sims Medieval. I'm a hopeless nerd. See you soon. :)

Black Tie

Hello there! Not so cheery around mi casa the last few days, as I've come down with a bit of a bug and so has the kitty. Although his is a tad more serious then mine. He's got a heart murmur that's requiring some extra and expensive care. I'm a little bummed!







Sorry bout the bright light on my face, accidentally shot these in a form where I can't edit that as much easily and quickly.

See you guys soon!

Tuesday Thrifty Goodness

Happy Tuesday all. I've been enjoying the last few days of blissful springy weather here, and am looking forward to many more (I hope!). As I said over the weekend, my lovely beau agreed to let me check out the five dollar sale our local vintage shop was having. He's very "budget friendly" let's say, so this was quite a treat. As a result I have some great things to share with you! I was pretty excited. But first a little outfit.

I apologize for the blurriness! I guess the Man's focus was a bit off. Shh don't tell him though! ;)

I got this great 50s silk blouse for $5! It's so perfect... I am in love with mustard yellow. The pencil skirt was only $2. It looks to be homemade. I suppose it was marked down because there's some fraying threads inside, but all it needs is a little trimming and reinforcing. Usually I can't afford to shop at the LVS, but I went to the sale hoping there were a lot of girls who wouldn't find the older styles attractive and would leave the best stuff behind. I was right!

I didn't really like the look, but there was a chilly breeze so I topped this outfit off with a leather jacket.

Among the rest of my finds, a great polka dotty blouse.

This purple shirt dress is beautiful, I loved it as soon as I saw it. But I also realize it was probably too large for me. Oh well! I think soon I'll be starting up a little Etsy shop so someone else can enjoy these next few pieces.

This blouse reminds me of a uniform. The blue bib detail is really cute and is also on the sleeves.

I love this style of sweater from the 50s! The roses are so sweet. I have this cream one and a black one that's very similar. Unfortunately neither of them fits me! Those will be in my little Etsy shop soon too.

A quick trip to some thrift stores today yielded a lot of great vintage fabric and notions. I can't wait to get started making some tote bags and coin purses for this future Etsy venture!

See you soon!
