I really love to scan magazines for decorating ideas, beautiful clothing, new websites, and do-it-yourself projects.  Some of my favorites magazines include Real Simple, Better Homes & Gardens, and Martha Stewart Living.  So, yesterday, while waiting for my car at the shop, I spotted a wonderful denim knee-length dress in the magazine I was browsing, and found it came from Levi.com.  Levis has never been on my radar really, except to note that that is the only type of jean my dad has ever worn, and will ever wear.  

When I got home, I popped online and browsed their site, finding their clothing and style quite winsome.  The magazine was from 2011, so they no longer carry that great denim dress, but there was one item that I wanted to buy on the spot.  This Japanese Jacquard Clutch . . .

I really love leather, and contrasted with a heavy fabric like this, the entire look makes me swoon.  I'm also not a purse lady, so this perfect little clutch looks to be a great fit for all of the basics - keys, phone, lip gloss, hair ties, money, & gum.

Just wanted to share.  When I find something I think is great, it makes me want to show someone!

Happy Friday!

In A Cottage By The Sea . . .

My newest treasury on Etsy, and I'm simply in love with these colors and textures.  I want a tiny beach house filled with all of these things items.  

What about you?  Do you dream of a cottage by the sea?

Oh Garden! How I Want Thee!

One day, I will have a garden.

My little boys (that I nanny) and I planted some seeds in small, clear, plastic cups last week, which are now sprouting on the windowsill.  I was just as excited as they were to see these little bits of life spring forth through the shallow soil.  

Oh, how I want a garden now . . .

I think I might figure out how to have one in my apartment.  

I'm thinking window box?

I've decided, that when I do get a garden, I want some fun garden markers.  

Check out some of my favorites on Etsy:

And, for those of you who prefer to make your own . . .

 UtopiaHomeAndGarden on Etsy

There are a lot out there to choose from, many made out of old spoons, but these shops have not followed the trend, but started their own trend instead.  I love it!

How will I choose?!

Have a great evening!  Hope your Monday started off the week well.  

I'll keep you posted on the growth of my garden project. :)

Spring Colors

Spring is on its way and given the beautiful sunshine and temperatures in the 50's here in Coeur d'Alene yesterday, one would think it was just around the corner.  The sunshine warmed the inside of my car so much, I actually turned my air-conditioning on!

Ah, spring.  I love spring.

I have been noticing many Etsy sellers breaking out the spring colors in their products.  Pretty pastels and bright colors that make me just want to sing or dance or even both.  I realized that I have quite a few items in my shop that feel quite like spring.  All are available for sale at this time.

Enjoy and stop by the shop for more great vintage!
