Mad Hatter Winners and Giant Wish Faeries!

Last night we arrived from our 5 day family vacation up in Glencoe which is in Calaveras County, CA. It was so blazing hot! On average..105 degrees and the log cabin had no air conditioner or ocean breezes. But we had fun. I'm still tired as I suffered many bug bites during the trip. Over 20. I don't feel much like going through all 500+ pictures I took, not counting Brian's or Dyllan's...hope you forgive me! I promise to post all and everything with in the next two weeks!

If you are wondering what I'm holding...it's a "wish faerie" and both Dyllan and I were in heaven blowing and making wishes! They were huge! I finally got wise and on the 2nd to last day, grabbed a double zip gallon bag and filled it with wish faeries of all sizes...small to extra large! Brian looked at me like I was nuts...but I can plant them at will so Dyllan and I can enjoy the wishes and our Toirtoise can enjoy the dandelion greens!***

Just for "me"

My Birthday was last February and I know it's since passed but I kept forgetting to take a photo of these darling little beauties. My friend Priscilla saw these and instantly thought of "Me'! What touched me most about this gift was it was not just a random purchase, like from walmart or target...she actually went back and got them after she realized how perfect they would be in my studio!

Paris to The Moon Costa Mesa CA

~A couple of weekends ago, Brian suggested we go to his favorite Mexican Restaurant called , "Mi Casa" in Costa Mesa. I jumped at the invitation as it's directly across the street from "Paris to the Moon!"

~ But since they closed "Paris Underground" and brought those items into the main shop, it's not the same experience anymore.

I actually felt overwhelmed and little claustrophobic, which never happens to me.

~ All though there were cute stuff as usual, it was all crammed together with no real flow, making it hard to focus.

I'm hoping by Halloween and Christmas that they we get things better organized...maybe open a shop on etsy for over stock!

I don't want to miss out on my favorite shop...

It just felt cluttered and too full.

I was still able to finds some crowns in all that there was...aren't they divine?





~ A little 4th of July flair...
