Romance in Lavender

Today I have lavender on the brain. Not sure why, but I do *smiles* So, I went and picked out a few things that I really love to share with you.....



1. Antique Lace Fluffie Rufflie Pantaloons by KathleenCrowley, 2. VINTAGE KITTY... GORGEOUS PURPLE CIRCLE SKIRT.. CROCHET.. DOILIES, PINK AND MAUVE by sistersroseandruby, 3. Peasant Pirate Blouse by damselinthisdress, 4. English Flower Garden Bracelet by beadsCraftz

Today was so super busy, but I did manage to make my flower of the day! Yay me!! Today is day 7 of my self-challenge. This one is done up in pretty pink petals, pretty vintage pink lace, pink sequins & beads and a pearly pink button. I love pink *smiles* As always everything is hand sewn to perfection *winks*



I also took a picture of this on a different surface & I quite like it better this way than the frame:



Most likely once I start listing in my shop, I will use both the frame and the plate and choose my favorite picture for the "hero" image. That should work out nicely *smiles*

Flower of the Day No. 6

Goodness, I am just sick as can be *pouts* Each time I think I might be getting better, I get worse. It is like a step forward and three steps back. I *will* shake this thing before my Christmas trip -- I just have to *smiles*

Here's my flower of the day:



A buyer purchased two tack sets made about a month apart & I snapped a picture because I noticed they look like they were made to go together:



How cool is that?! She has a really good eye for color!!

It seems like right when I am ready to slow down and ease into the holidays everything goes nuts around here. Since I am not teaching anymore, one would think that I wouldn't be terribly busy *smiles* But, this is the time of the year that schools & anyone remotely involved in a school system get busy busy busy. My son had pep band practice today, has pep band practice tomorrow, fitness club on Wednesday, & a concert on Thursday. I'm not sure what is going on this weekend cause I don't want to think that far ahead *smiles*

I love that I am home now to take care of running him around. I seriously wonder how I used to get it all done when I worked full time and was a full time student. My undergraduate and graduate years were CRAZY busy. Now I have time & feel like I don't have time.

I know I had something awesome to talk about today, but I just cannot remember what that something was *smiles*

Hope your week got off to a fantastic beginning!!

Love,

Kelly xoxo
