With a little bit of time to spare, I decided to make a quick run to the Wisteria outlet today.  I stop in regularly to see what is new.  Sometimes I find what I need….other times I just gaze longingly at all of the things I want!  Today was a good day at Wisteria….

This mirror will be going in my modern bathroom to add a little bit of vintage…

This little stool will be going somewhere upstairs….maybe in the extra bedroom…

I love a happy ending to an impromptu shopping trip.

We are back from our trip to Minnesota…so much fun squeezed into 5 days!   Grandma Mickey’s cookies have never tasted better!!!  It does feel good to be home…even though it is for a short time.  I have opened my shop back up through 10/1.  I will be closing the shop from 10/1 – 10/16 for our family Disney trip.

Now for a little holiday preview…

I will have 1 or 2 more holiday designs to preview in the next week.  All Christmas/Holiday designs will be available after 10/16.

Happy Tuesday!!!

ps: last chance to order halloween designs is now!  order by 10/1!

The Party Dress is one of my favorite blogs!  I love it.  Kelly always has amazing parties to share as well as great decor ideas, recipes and her great party supplies!  A few weeks ago I was reading The Party Dress, admiring an AMAZING pool party.  I scrolled down to see the absolutely adorable birthday girl wearing a Modern Frills Vintage Cake Stand tee!!!  I….LOVE…WHEN…THIS…HAPPENS!

Here is the birthday girl standing in front of her dessert table…adorable!  The party favors were a little box of sweet treats and a tin of bubbles. 

The dessert table…

The party decorations…

A huge THANKS to Kelly for sharing this great party!  Hop on over to The Party Dress for the rest of the party details.

NOTE….I will be on a little blogging vacation while in Minnesota.  I am so looking forward to some cooler weather!!!

I was asked several months ago to create a tank for a “You are my Sunshine” party.  I love the party theme…simple and sweet.  What little girl doesn’t want to run around in the summer sun, eating watermelon and having fun.

Maddie’s party is pretty spectacular for many reasons…the amazing decorations, the perfect summer dessert table and a precious, smiling birthday girl.

One more thing that makes this party and dessert table amazing is that it was created so that the birthday girl could enjoy every bit of it.  Given that she has severe food allergies, this is quite a feat.  Maddie’s mom, Megan, made sure her birthday girl could enjoy all the sweets and treats of her birthday party without any worries.

How did Megan do it?  She offers her allergy free party planning tips over at Chandelier Events…

This picture says it all….

A big THANKS to Megan for creating such an amazing party and sharing all of her party planning tips!

Tomorrow…

A simply perfect party to put a smile on your face….and keep summer alive for a few more days!

Happy Tuesday!!!

My house is a bit of a wreck right now.  I will spare you pictures of the half done construction and wait until it is complete.  It will be great….I keep telling myself that!

The glimmer of hope right now is my laundry room/work space.  It is starting to come together….

I can’t wait for my concrete countertops to arrive…2 more weeks…2 more weeks…2 more weeks.  In addition to the countertops, there are a few things that need to be completed…. the apron front sink and faucet need to be installed as well as the cabinet handles and pulls….but it is starting to look like a laundry room!

Next on my To Do List…how to turn this laundry room into a Modern Frills Office/Laundry Room combination.  I will be adding this armoire to the room…

…as it stores all of my Modern Frills fabrics, tees, etc.

Here is a close up of some of my fabrics…just waiting to be made into cute tees:)

Have ideas on how I should organize/design my room?  Please share.  I have a case of writer’s decorator’s block!

A sweet combination of orange, white and black in polka dots or damask…

The “Boo” is screenprinted on the fabric in black and the little black bat is done in solid black fabric.  These are available in a limited quantity as only 12-15 were printed in each fabric.

This sweet pumpkin is also currently available in the shop…

and a mini version…

Happy Tuesday!

did a little screenprinting…

The Halloween designs will be listed in the shop Tuesday morning…

a sweet custom order…

Happy Wednesday!!!
