Hello, hello my beauties! I am taking some time away from the shop and blog for a little r&r. See you in a week or so! xxCatps. The shop will still be up an...
Ive needed to wear glasses since 6th grade. At first, like I am sure most kids do, I dreaded the idea of wearing glasses but today there are so many amazing glasses styles I am proud to be a fo...
This past Sunday marked the official kick-off of "flea market" season in Wisconsin. Whooo-hooo! I dont know about you, but I just love looking through peoples old stuff. I h...
Happy, happy Monday, friends! I had the best weekend and scored a few amazing goodies at the flea-market yesterday (pictures to come later this week). But first, lets talk about my new To...

I adore owls and when I spotted this one in a pile of vintage brooches while out thrifting a few weeks ago, I instantly fell in love with his big eyes and art deco look. I pinned him on to my c...
A little peak at what Andy and I have been enjoying as part of our dinners as of late. Hearty, veggie packed salads complete with sunflower seeds, avocados, peppers, sweet onions and Havarti ch...
With Spring in full bloom it seemed so fitting to showcase the lovely Etsy shop, Nesting Pretty. Tamara, the owner and designer of this sweet shop, creates gorgeous pieces of jewelry that are f...
Hi there my beauties! Just dropping by to say a quick "hi" :) This week (and last week) has been nothing short of crazy with the shop. With only a moment to post, I thought ...
Alright all you hopeless romantics, if you havent had a chance to feast your love-fest loving eyeballs on Penelopes shop Neena Creates, that needs to change right now. I promise you will fall h...
I am totally obsessed with this dress. It is from Forever 21 but I was lucky enough to snag it on Ebay for less than $10! The black and white stripes and the boat neck cut of the neckline...
One glance at Ryans lovely Etsy shop - The Blooming Thread - leaves me absolutely weak-in-the-knees and makes me want to go on a major *heart*-fest. Her lovely line of pretty pastel lockets, br...
I am still getting used to these fashion-related posts. Andy (my hubby and photographer) always teases me and, because we snap these shots in our backyard, he is always sneakily glancing around...
Sigh ... I love Spring. The warming weather, the longer days and the fact that everything seems to be coming out of hibernation from the long, cold winter celebrating in bright shades of green....
I have been enamored with the felt bowls Sharons shop, the Felterie from the moment I laid eyes on one. In fact, I was looking back through my Etsy conversations and I realized that I have feat...
Dating vintage jewelry can be tricky sometimes. Some styles just transcend through the years making it hard to pinpoint exactly what year a vintage piece might be from. However, when I ca...
Hubs and I stopped by the grocery store the other day in a strip-mall that also happens to have a JoAnns Fabrics (which is a huge hooray for me and an eye-roll for hubs ... why is that?). Of co...

While I absolutely adore any variation of 7-layer dip/salad, Ive never made up a batch without having a reason (i.e. : bringing it as a dish-to-pass for a party). But this past weekend I had a ...
More than any other holiday, there is something about Easter candy that really gets my mouth watering. Perhaps it is the cute shapes (who can resist a chocolate rabbit?), or the lovely, romanti...
I like to consider myself a crafty person. I can sew, cross-stitch, make jewelry, paint, scrapbook and decoupage with the best of them but knitting is my Achilles heel. I just cant master...
The weather has been unseasonably nice lately. Yesterday I cut the lawn for the first time this year (no foolin :) and Andy & I have already started to discuss what veggies we want to plant...
By now, you all know my weakness for anything and everything glittery. I am like a bee to honey when it comes to sparkles so when I first saw Staceys shop, Wish Daisy, I knew I was in trouble (...
Now that Spring has officially arrived and the days continue to get longer I cant help but dream of the hot summer days ahead. Not that I can complain. The weather in Wisconsin has been a...
There is so much that I would like to do with our house but, my beauties, I fear that I am decor challenged! It is a sad state of affairs. Thankfully there are wonderful web havens full o...
The second I laid eyes on Annies shop, Gift Shop Brooklyn, I instantly felt a whoosh of peace and happiness wash over me. I also felt the need to upgrade my current handbag or, at the very leas...
Last weekend, my mom and I were driving by State Fair Park when we noticed a sign that said: "Rumage-rama, this weekend!" My mom is the peanut butter to my jelly when it comes to ...
I love this picture. It is a picture I took of Andy taking off one evening heading off to work. It might sound a bit corny, but I just get chills (the good kind) watching Andy fly (both w...
Ive been a long time stalker of Madison Street Beauty whose claim to fame is 100% natural mineral makeup including foundation, eye shadow, eye liner, blush, bronzer, lip balm and more! I finall...
Andy and I are on a major budget watch but with the weather getting warmer outside (and the days getting longer!), I cant help but want to fluff things up a bit around the house. The perfect so...
