Antique Barn

I got about 2 hours to myself this Saturday to go to Matilda's Mouse in Valley Center. The theme was spooky and scary (HALLOWEEN). I honestly had higher expectations but it was still pretty and fun. I hope the Christmas set up is better because I didn't even find anything call out my name while I was shopping. NOTHING! I purchased a couple things for my Halloween swap partner and a vintage decorative display thingy but that's about it!

We all have colds here in my house and I hate colds!!!! I rather have the flu over the cold any day! WHY? Because the flu comes and goes and the cold can stick with you for weeks! I also hate when my nose is all stuffed up and you cant breath at night! uggg

I have some fun estate sale goodies I would love to share with you all so stay tuned! Be sure to check out Little Miss Heirlooms and the New Blog






HAHA Like my shoes?

Weightloss Wednesda and Freebie

This week I did 't pretty good at my weight loss. I only got 2 days of exercise in but managed to lose 2.5 pounds. I am taking Stackers which I'm sure helps but that stuff kinda makes you feel sick. Yesterday Christian started preschool and one of the mothers said " You look really good"! Then when our friend brought Christian home she said that the preschool teacher commented on how "beautiful" I am.

We took Christian and Carter to McDonalds this weekend and the cashier guy totally hit on me. There was kind of a wait for your food so he would write everyone's name down on the receipt and so I said Priscila and he said does that come with a number?! HAHA... He called me "exotic" haaha
He saw me come in with Ericson and the 2 boys and Im sure he noticed my wedding ring...so I don't know what he was thinking! It's flattering but kinda awkward at the same time!

This week has been kinda hard with me with some other things though. The other day in the car a ambulance went by with all the lights and noise and it just brings back everything that happened to Carter. I also dreamed about both of the boys falling in a river and it's just been rough.
When Carter had his accident I asked God to not let me forget it because when miracles happen sometimes when the newness of it goes away you tend to forget how much of a miracle it was. But I didn't want to remember like all the bad stuff...

I've also been like crazy emotional at things...crying at 16 and pregnant on MTV. People what is going on with me? hahaha

On another note Rosey Little Things is doing a giveaway...Go check it out! I want to win the Ramekins!

When it rains it pours!

This week has been nuts! We have all started to settle down from Carter's accident and on Sunday I woke up bright and early to be able to do the weekend run around (Costco, Target etc) and get home so that I could be sure to take the boys to the park!

Well, those plans went down the drain when this girl pulls out of a local fast food place and rams into me. Her bumper flew up and it totally scared me! I expected for the whole side of my car to be banged up. I was so lucky that she only got my tire and scratched up some other parts but nothing to bad!

It wasn't really the accident that made me upset but that this girl really wanted to blame it on me. When obviously it was her fault (I had the right away, I was on the through street and she was pulling out of a parking lot)!

Anyways, after a couple days of running back and forward and talking to a million people they decided that she was at fault (DUH) and now I have to go do all the stuff to get the car fixed.

It's just not something I really wanted or needed to deal with right now! GRRR..

on the lighter side of things.....

I am in Jessica's Tag swap. It's my first tag swap and I have to say I love it. Its easy, fast and fun to do. You don't have to spend a lot of money and I will get 17 tags back that I have no idea what they will look like. Its exciting :)!

So I was making my tags and decided that I need some trim on the bottom of them. So I went into the garage to get the box out and there hops out the UGLIEST, scariest bird I have ever seen! I just stood still and called "ERICSON". I wanted to make sure that he came and saw it.

He came out and instead of being freaked out all he could do is laugh! SO MUCH FOR THE HUSBAND TAKING CARE OF THE NASTY BUGS, RODENTS AND NOW WEIRDO BIRDS! Isn't that part of what men are for? Helping us with that stuff?

So, we are thinking that this poor little thing just got lost or something and hopped into our garage. It was a baby and couldn't fly.

I thought it was like a beat up crow or something...but its a special kind of vulcher...ewwww

Ok...isn't the poor things like the ugliest thing you have ever seen?


On a *CUTE* note :)
I've bought a couple things that I'm going to be adding to the shop:

Vintage hangers! Aren't these sooooo cute?


I love this book. It's filled with lots of cute pictures that I will frame for my kids. The pictures are practical (like brushing your teeth, combing your hair, eating your fruits and veggies...etc... Wouldn't it be so cute in a bathroom and kitchen?




Before Carter's accident I was thinking of redoing his room in a vintage nautical, beach theme and then after the accident I didn't know if I should. I've decided that I'm going to incorporate lots of vintage toys and beach items in a healthy mixture so it's first budget friendly (I have so much stuff already that needs to be used) and second easy to change because its not just one theme.
I am thinking:
Cute Whales
Cute Ducks
Cute boats
ABC'S
Vintage toys
Vintage dogs

So far I purchased this vintage child's bathing suit from the 30's. I'm going to frame it!! I love it and the colors go so well with the bedding I purchased!


This is the darling bedding! Isn't it so cute? These are really hard to find and it's in mint condition. I haven't gotten it yet but will in the mail this week. I'm excited!!! If I don't end up wanting it or changing the theme of his room I will put it in my etsy store.






I purchased this vintage Coloring book that I will also frame! See the colors (red, blue?) I'm going to be using these colors through out the room...also notice the doggy? Its perfect for a vintage nautical room for a little boy! Its going to tie in using stuffed animal dogs, fabric, pictures and bookends with his room!



I purchased this also because I love that its NOT sailor or beach theme but does go with the red and blue color scheme! Its so adorable anyways so I had to get it!


I also purchased this book. Its filled with the cutest pictures ever. I'm thinking about putting it in the shop .


I also ended up purchasing vintage inspired gift wraps from Cavallini because I couldn't decide which one I like better!

Vintage ABC's


Or Retro Toys!

I hope everyone is doing great! Stay tuned for a WONDERFUL giveaway!!

xoxo

Thankful for.....

A Healthy little boy...


A silly little boy...


A Re-done stepping stool


It was a very worn out stool that was in my sons room. I sprayed painted it and decoupaged some vintage border that I had. I then painted on "123, ABC" around it and then sanded it for a worn look. Once Carters room is done it might possibly go in his room.






A Fun thrift store find for 1.95. A perfect place to put away vintage blocks in


Isn't he perfect?


A cowboy wall full of art that's coming along


Retro toys


Vintage school desk . I've wanted once for a couple months now. I want to stick it in the corner of Christians room where he can color and paint etc. I got rid of the modern desk and this just fits so perfectly. I'm debating whether I should paint it or leave it alone. I know I'm going to decoupage some vintage school charts inside of the lid and hang some vintage school charts over the desk.


Thrift store art that I have to do nothing to. Wonderful larger piece that I found for 7.95. Beautiful shabby frame with vintage music sheet paper inside .




Fun poms that I made that hang over an oversize chair in our room.


Tj Maxx and there huge collectiong of shabby items. Got this for 4.00 and its so pretty. Looks like it was in the garden for ages. I will like to use it as a soap dish in our guest bathroom.


We are doing a lot better everyone. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts!!! Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!!!

xoxo
