The Creative Side of Me....

After much hoarding of vintage and various costume jewelry pieces both broken and miss matched, I have taken the time to create a piece I am quite fond of at this time.

It is versatile as it can be worn several different ways. You can wear it with the brooch at the bottom, or on the sides. As soon as I get enough pieces together I will be opening my Etsy shop and this will be for sale! Stay tuned!

I love ETSY!

Look what I just ordered on Etsy! I will be making something wonderful out of them when they arrive. I have been hoarding some costume jewelry finds for some time now and it's time to put them to the test. Stay tuned!

Love Is in The Air!

Or at least there was love in my Cheerios yesterday morning!

Halloween is Upon Us!

This is what my little man (Boden) is going to be for Halloween. It is a dinosaur costume that was made just for his mommy (Tayler) when she was a toddler. The bag it was stored in was dated 1993! It was made by my Aunt Gayla for Tayler to wear for Halloween. It is completely made of felt and has a long stuffed tail, a head piece, gloves with claws, and covers for shoes. When I took it out of the bag, Boden was so excited to get it on and would not take it off for the longest time! Can't wait for trick or treat. He is gonna be so stinkin cute!

I had my first official Lia Sophia home party last night! My dear friend Stephanie was gracious enough to open her home and host a party for me since I am just getting started and need all the help I can get. I think it went quite well, she had quite a few buyers and she hopes to get a few more. She should do well. I have another Lia Sophia party booked for Halloween which we are calling BOO and BLING! I am looking forward to decorating it up with a halloween theme and Jill (the hostess) will be making some spooky and fall oriented treats.

Following the Lia Sophia party we will be trailing back to my house for Trick or Treat. The menu will include the best ever chili (mine of course!) and brew. Delish!

What am I wearing today?

I want to start posting some of my great Good Will (referred to as GW Fashion in my home and circle) finds. I get such excitement out of a good score at the GW Fashion and I am reusing, recycling at the same time. If you know we at all, then you know I have always been a bit odd when it came to clothing anyway. I guess you could say I am a thrift addict. Hit up the local shops 2-3 times per week typically. Just don't tell Bruce! Today I am wearing, a great brown flowered skirt (GW find), my fave TOMS burlap shoes, and Lia Sophia accessories of course!

Some of my favorite finds at local thrift store are items I can restyle and sell in the future (hopefully next summer) at local flea markets and vintage shows. A great old sweater is another one of my fave finds this time of year! Check out your local thrift shops! You may be surprised at what you find.

Lia Sophia!

I have taken on a new adventure! I hosted a Lia Sophia party several weeks ago and became so infatuated with their jewelry that I decided to become an advisor. I mean who doesn't love jewelry and what better when it comes at a discount. I am impressed with the quality and variety available. So much in fact, I think I can convince others to feel the same. There is really no better way to update a old outfit than with a few affordable baubles! If you host a party the deal gets even sweeter! Lia Sophia offers great hostess benefits and the customers get a deal at each party as well! However, you don't have to wait for a party. You can order items directly from me anytime! Let me know if you are interested!
