Cute Stuff from Storenvy. . . .

do you like to shop online?

i have to confess. . . . .i do from time to time.

Amazon is a favorite stop of mine,

and i love finding unique handmade things on etsy.

and now, there is storenvy.

i don't know quite what the site is all about but

i think it's like etsy, where you open your own little shop,

but the items don't have to be handmade.

anyway, i thought i'd show you a few cool things i saw while 

browsing the shops.

oh gosh, where do i start?

 how about those keyboard protectors. . .

a little bit of lace, a little bit of denim. . . .

hey, hey, hey. . . .i'm back!

what???

you didn't know i was gone? 

no worries. . . .

half the time i don't even know what's going on:)

it's a busy time of year, you know?

but i have been thinking, and saving up stuff to share with y'all.

so if i'm more scattered/random than usual,

please understand, okay?

gosh, where to start. . .

i'm the furthest thing possible from a fashion expert.

i just know what i like.

and what i am really liking these days,

(actually, for awhile now)

is lace.

especially lace mixed with denim or other fabrics.

you know that opposites attract, right?

take a look at this picture. . . .

pointe shoes and cowboy boots.

total opposites!

yet because they are so drastically different,

showing them together enables them both to shine.

just like mixing a sweet, innocent, delicate ivory lace dress with boots. . . .

classic opposites.

and awesome, if you ask me!

that's how i feel about denim and lace

i love this look!

and it's so easy to do by adding a bit of lace or a lacy doilie to a 

pair of shorts, a shirt or even a bag!

there are many ways to create these looks,

but the simplest would be to use a washable fabric glue to attach.

and you don't have to stop at lace.

gather jewels or buttons, 

cut off the backs with clippers to enable them to lay flat.

using fabric glue, attach them to your denim,

like this cute shirt. . . .

the jackets are really amazing, too.

it looks as if the collar was cut out and lace applied.  

the lace peeking out of the sleeve and at the bottom of the top left jacket is

super cute!

look at these backpacks. . . .

~adorable~

but maybe the piece i am the most crazy about is the denim and lace cuff. . .

LOVE. it!

lace clothing and/or accessories are all by themselves are another favorite.

see anything here you like?

i love it all, but especially the lace skirt, shorts, sundress, caftan and phone cover.

and everything else, too!:)

lastly,

i leave you with this. . . .

Jeremiah 29: 11-14. . . .

my very favorite.

be blessed, my friends!

Cool Stuff. . . .Like Vintage Jewelry and Lemon Merengue Pie Dip!

so guess what?

i actually made the vintage jewelry project i'm going to show you!

i didn't just stalk other blogs but made them myself:)

baby steps folks, baby steps!

i love collecting vintage jewelry to re-purpose into

cool jewelry for today.

and not just vintage. . . .there are great pieces of

 vintage-like costume jewelry out there

just begging to be made into something unique.

but this time, i didn't make repurposed jewelry,

but something way simpler. . . . .

 magnets!

(these can be made with cool buttons or scrapbook goodies too:)

all you need is a magnet back and E6000 glue
 and about 15 minutes (plus drying time)

and TADA. . . . .
you have a set of awesome magnets!

well, what do you think?

Okay. . . .next, i could use some help.
i have a bunch of these flower cabachons and could make
so many cool things,
but what do you call the gold filigree backs they are glued on,
and do you know where I can get them?
if you know, please email me or comment.
thank you!!!

now, i just don't seem to have it in me to NOT leave you with something
amazingly yummy
(fattening)
to eat.
(or devour:)
so when i saw this lemon merengue dip from
Ashton at Something Swanky,
i had to share it!


and. . . .if you gain weight, you can blame her, not me.
i'm just the messenger;)
mmm. . . .mmm. . . .mmmmmmm

if i were you,

i'd hightail it over to her and grab the recipe!

bye for now. . . .
