OOPS...Five on Friday, I mean Saturday. All about FRINGE!!!

So this is my Five on Friday......on Saturday,  Blog Post:)

(Missed a day there:)

Every time I do a "fashion" post, I think

"what the heck am I doing writing a fashion post?"

Lil 'ol Me........flipflops and bluejeans me!

Well, I know what I like so that's gonna have to be 

good enough:)

So, let's talk about FRINGE.

Have you noticed it is EVERYWHERE?????

We love it......not so much because it is popular now but

because it goes with our favorite style and decor look these days.......

Rustic Chic.

So, I want to give you a few ideas for rocking the fringe this year.

Now don't be saying "I'm too old for that".

Not listening!

You can add a tiny bit...just maybe not full on fringe.

See?

Prada agrees.  So there:)

Moving on, let's start with how you WEAR it.

1.  Fringe Scarves

Now, anyone can wear a fringed scarf, don't you think?

2.  Fringe Sweaters/Ponchos/Wraps

Aren't these some adorable looks?  

Plus, they're very forgiving if you want to hide a

muffin top, hips or whatever............

3.  Fringe Bags!

This is where you can find fringe in any store.

My daughter works at Michael Kors and he has some adorable fringe.

So maybe you don't want a heavily fringed bag.  

Try just a little fringe tassle if you like.  It works!

4. Fringe Shoes & Boots!

(Boots too.....there are TONS of fringed boots out there this year.

Cowboy boots, dress boots, snow boots, low boots, high boots.......

a little fringe or MEGA fringe:)

Last but not Least.....

5. LIVE with it!

Fringed pillows, rugs, throws, lamps and ottomans,

to name a few.

(the ottoman, and pillows are from our beloved

Junk Gypsies's line at Pottery Barn Teen and.........

they will find their way here, no doubt;)

So there you have it.

5 ways to add a bit of fringe this Fall.

Go ahead, you can do it!

So happy to be joining Five on Friday!

Visit the other lovely blogs to see what 5 things they shared with us.

Fall, Mom Caves and...I'm Back. ALREADY!!!

Okay, before i get started,

let me say i think i'm back on this here 'ol blog for good.

I tried switching to wordpress and it's just too much for this fried brain

to figure out.  Who has time for that?

This will be just fine.  I'm tired of the address but.......I'll survive.

The main reason I tried the move was because I was starting to hear

of friend's blogs going missing.  THAT would be a bummer.

I realize I probably have 3 readers and that's cool.

But it's MY blog and it shouldn't go missing.

Having said that, I guess I'll have to take my chances:)
But I'm still changing the name to CRAZYBlessed.......cause I am.

Movin on.......

I've spent a lot of time indoors this steamy summer.

Tired, so not getting much done.

But I did manage to make myself a 

MOM CAVE!

It's done in whites and creams, with touches of burlap, glitz, and RUSTIC.

I love rustic chic these days!

Totally me.

I finally found MY style:)

Here are a few individual pics to show you a few more details.

My daybed, complete with twinkle lights:)  

A few sale items here...

the star pillow was from Pottery Barn.....$14.99.

Not bad!

I made the cowprint pillow.  (I know, it looks like it:)

The burlap bulletin board......my inspiration board.....was $10.00.

Yep!  Ten whole dollars from the White Elephant here in Naples.  

Regular $199 from Ballard designs.  (Tags still on:)

I have my little writing corner......to do what, I don't know.

But it's there if I need it!

Check out my COOL deer head.

Another SCORE!

Hard to see detail but it's a faded burlap quilted look, by Cynthia Rowley.

HomeGoods strikes again! lol

Been making a lot of embellished mason jars.

They make great holders in bathrooms, kitchens, on desks.......you name it.

There's something about an old fashioned jar wrapped

in burlap, lace or twine and adorned with jewels or even seashells.

And look at this vintage sewing chest.  

Apparently it was used to hold thread and other supplies.

My daughter found it at a thrift store and since she never has much money

on her, it was CHEAP!

(She's stocking up for those Southern Rustic Weddings she'll be doing someday;)

A closer look at some of the different jars and bottles.....

And don't miss the gold pumpkin and gold tipped feathers........

cause what home is complete without gold tipped feathers?

hehehe

 and last but not least,
we can't leave out a touch of the beach.

Or in this case,a HUGE metal sign!
We found it at the flea market.
I'm thinking I will poke holes and add lights to make it
 a marquee sign.
I'm kind of hung up on fringe in every way so I need to add a touch of
that when I find it.
There is also a cool vanity with a vanity stool covered in.......
you guessed it!
Cow print.
I need a ranch.  In Texas.
But for now, I'll settle for my Mom Cave.
Thanks for visiting.
YEEHAW!

Monkey Bread Minis...What's Not To LOVE!!!

My sister Kathy, who always has the best recipes, shared this recipe for MONKEY BREAD MINIS with me. Her grandkids loved them and since I have the taste level of a kid, I'll devour them, no doubt!  (I was a goner at Monkey Bread:) 

I used to tell her all the time she could have an awesome blog 

between her recipes and her quilts but...

Just sayin:)

My facebook friends like this so I thought maybe y'all would too.

By the way...
