Spring is a season that tends to inspire tea parties. Does anyone else feel the same way? Maybe it’s all the flowers that makes me think of pretty floral printed teapots and teacups. Or maybe it’s the spring fashion… the pretty dresses, the more cheerful colors, the floral prints, the accessories (thinking hats & pearls here!). Whatever it may be, once spring enters the picture, my mind can’t help but [...]
When it snows, ain’t it thrilling, Though your nose gets a chilling We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way, Walking in a winter wonderland. Since I put this vignette together, I can’t seem to get the song Winter Wonderland out of my head. Walking in a winter wonderland. In the lane, snow is glistening. Now grab your coat and take a walk with me in my winter wonderland. ;) This [...]
A few weeks ago Anthropologie had holiday vignette workshops at some store locations. I thought how fun would that be so I joined the workshop at the store in my area. Boy, I’m so glad I did! It was so much fun meeting wonderful people and crafting with them! The assignment: Each store is to create a holiday vignette using winter animals. Participants duty: Making the fur that will be [...]
Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite times of the year. We should be thankful everyday for all the blessings in our lives, but what makes Thanksgiving so special is it’s a day where we all stop to gather with the people that we are so blessed to have in our lives. It just makes the Thanksgiving meal the more special… fighting over the last of the stuffing that’s left [...]

I kept the same colors… black and gold with a touch of plum and green. You may recall this Eid advent calendar from last year. If not, you can read all about it HERE. One of my favorites are these cute lambs… love [...]
Do you remember these chairs that I found at the Goodwill for $1.99? The chairs that I stole, but I really didn’t. Well, not literally stole, but mind as well call it that at $1.99! I purchased them for Susu and Suraya. Suraya’s chair got it’s makeover (click on the above picture to check it out), but Susu’s didn’t. She decided she didn’t want it. No worries folks because I have [...]
Even though today is Thursday, it feels like a Friday to me. I think it’s because the kiddies are off of school tomorrow, so the last day of school in the week tends to feel like Friday. Feeling that way is one thing and saying it is Friday is another. Yesterday Susu tells me “tomorrow is Friday.” I tell her “no, it’s Thursday.” She looks at me like I’m the crazy one. [...]
Tomorrow is Eid! I’m almost all set… just a few finishing touches on Susu’s outfit, a few gifts I still need to get, and gift wrapping. Am I forgetting anything? I hope not! Yesterday, I finally was able to put together my Eid vignette! Tell me what you think. I did make the ruffled table runner specifically for this vignette:) It was inspired by The Shabby Creek Cottage. You can [...]
