Simple pleasures are life's treasures

I took so many pictures this weekend I crashed my computer trying to import them all:) I can't help it, I am definitely a visual person and when I saw this print I knew I would buy it no matter the size.

I have been hitting the mother load lately when thrifting. The above is a hi-low skirt that looks like stained glass and was $4. I have wanted a Mexican poncho like this one for a while but would not pay over $20, this was $5.

I also found this vintage cotton underdress made by I Magnin, a department store started in 1876 in San Francisco, today it is known as Macy's.

They were known for importing beautiful fabrics and lace. This one was made in Italy.

I also found another Kimono, its cotton and beautiful and was $6

Now onto that spa day for the doggies, I was half kidding, no dog would find that relaxing and Peetee could not participate since as soon as I handed him over he cried out in pain, looks like only I can give my boy a bath but Shasta was in for it. WAKE UP PUPS!

You have no idea.

She was so furry and need a trim BAD!

Your chariot my lady:)

WTF?

An hour later.

Peetee thought she looked hot and they laid around a lot because he still can't play with other dogs.

While they did that I made this. Inspired by the fabulous work of Jon ,Vix's sweet partner. Check out his stencils on vinyl here.

This stuff is a buck.

My friend Cathy got me this sweet sugar skull stencil!

A bit sloppy but I still really like how it turned out.

I also added a few things to my purple entryway. This wreath was my Dad's.

A tin souvenir plate from New Orleans. I went there once for a week before Katrina and it was a wonderfully eerie city.

Hand painted with love in 1978, hung with even more in 2014.

And this was just last Friday, the weekend was pretty fantastic. More pictures to follow.

It felt so good to use my hands this weekend, making stuff, gardening and playing in the sunshine with friends. What's your favorite thing to do in sunshine?
