Watering the flowers in this funky zip up dress

I camped out in my backyard on Sat night. (I found this Frida bag for $1.99)

Close up of funky dress!

*Weird Face*

Here is our eggplant (So cute)

*Hibiscus love*

Frida bag close-up

The MOST AMAZING...... shadow box shell art picture. Found at the Salvation Army for $20

When I seen it on the wall I said.... "OMG that was made for me" It's quite a big pic, about 3 feet long.

*Shrimp Love*

(If you know what this says PLEASE TELL ME)
UPDATE: I was told in the comment section by Helen that the pictures title says: "Waiting for guests to come."

Thank you Helen

(I took a better picture of the signature in case someone can let me know the artists name. The previous two pictures were taken on a bit of a slant and were hard to make out.)

Thanks in advance

AHHH BATS zombie squirrels are after the blood of hootie owls

It's the SpOoKiEsT time of the year and I am here to show you what's going on in the china cabinet.

It's gruesome, Gory and just plain SICK!

Inside the cabinet is a ferocious Rabie ridden squirrel and he is trying to turn the owl into a zombie too!

Okay in all seriousness that is not what's actually happening....

I bought the owl for $7 at Home sense. I had been eyeing this owl for a couple weeks and I finally broke down. He actually gets along with my nut holding squirrel quite well.

* I like stripes*

Today I was channeling Mary Tyler Moore. I have been a little obsessed with that show for the past while. I am trying too slow down on my episode watching as I want to savour it. *lol*

Going with the faux ... I mean FLOW

*Hoot* Holding a owl just seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

Black Faux Fur Coat $10 tag (50% off sale) I paid $5

I purchased this coat in the beginning of the week. My Hubs said: (Don't you have enough faux fur coats?) My quick reply was: (But I don't have a black one, I need a black one... it goes with everything.) So earlier Today when going to read Curtise's http://sopastcaring.blogspot.com/ latest post I had myself a good laugh. Because she (Just like me... has been buying faux fur coats like they are going out of style.) It seems whatever week one of us purchases one... So has the other. And in her post today she wrote: "More more more faux fur. Yes, I know I already have 4 fur jackets/coats. But I didn't have a black one,and it's so lovely..."

I think shopping with her would be a blast. But when it came to the coat section we might have to rock, paper, scissor who gets which coat. Hopefully it wouldn't end up in a furry fist fight. *lol*

I can see us now on the cover of our own magazine

We will make millions and our mag will be the hottest most luxurious one that is out there!!

Something just isn't right!
Camera was on self timer and I was petting my coat.

Poodle pictures $3.50 each The Mr. wasn't too thrilled about this purchase. But I told him... When we have munchkins (In the future... "NO NELLY not right now" *lol*) if we have a girl they will go in her room. Until then they will work perfect in a girly space for myself.

You know your are obsessed with animal prints... when you dress your Kewpie's in loincloths. It beats them running around nude!

60's cosmetic bag $0.50

I think I will pair this Gaymode nightie with my Fuk Wing bedroom slippers!

(Sounds scandalous doesn't it?)

Nylon Dream! $1.00

Sassy vintage slip $1.00

Leather gloves $3

I am going to try and make it for FOF Tomorrow. I have been horrible the past couple weeks and always remember when its too late.

(Okay truth... Friday's are my biggest thrifting days)

Sweet yellow Sunbeam

Well I surely never thought I would find a vintage sunbeam at a thrift store I always though when the time came I would have to shell out the $80.00 or more and buy one from E-bay or a expensive shop. Thank goodness I was wrong! I got my yellow mixer on Saturday for a grand total of $20.00 no tax even.

Of course I needed to test it our right away! What else would there be to do? So I had to think of what I wanted to make. Cookies? Squares? Cake? Okay so I settled on a Angel food cake and tested the mixer out. It works great or so I think I don't really know all that much about them. It didn't smoke or explode so I am assuming everything is in good working order. I made yellow icing for my cake and of course decorated it on a owl cutting board I got from a free box at a garage sale.

Now hopefully I don't find another one.. or I will be in a pickle because I surely will not leave it there. *hehe*
