vintage tuesday

happy tuesday folks!  

summer has me thinking about my summers as a little girl.  my sister and i would always spend a couple weeks at my nana and pop pop's house.  we would run around the flower garden and catch butterflies.  pick veggies out of the garden for our dinner salad each night.  watch game shows with pop pop.  sit with nana while she did her crossword.  we always had a special night out of bowling or a movie and dinner out at pizza hut.  it was so fun...the best memories and such a simple time.  one thing that really sticks out in my little ol' brain is sleeping on the softest sheets.  they had been washed a million times and they were so comfy and cozy.  specifically i recall their bright orange daisy pattern sheets.  i wish i had them today!  

vintage sheets are the best.  use them as fabric for all your sewing projects, use them on your beds, take them to the park and the beach to lay on, use them for forts and kids' projects...etc...etc!

here are some sweet picks from etsy...enjoy!

happy fathers day to all you dads out there!  especially to my awesome dad and my wonderful husband!!  we have been relaxing at home today, how about you?  the most fun part of the day for sure has been our ongoing monopoly game.  it is so stinkin' funny.  there's a couple sore losers in the bunch...i won't mention any names...but mostly we are all cracking up at each other.  so, here's a few shots of the game...

the artist unique

i am so thrilled to share with you this wonderful new book that i am a tiny part of.  the artist unique by carmen torbus, published by north light books.  i just picked up my copy the other day and i love it!  carmen did an amazing job and i am so happy for her!  15 artists share their stories, insights, advice and techniques for inspiration in creating your own creative signature.  (i'm dying to try the image transfer onto wax technique!)

i received my 2 pieces back from the publisher and they are now in my shop!  here are some peeks at my mixed media piece and a little lulettes house as well as the book!  enjoy and again...a big thanks and congrats to carmen!

maggie art doll

yes i did already post once today...but i had a spur of the moment idea to go ahead and list this little wall lulettes gal!  i'll be heading over to the shop in just a second to get her on there.  she has the sweetest little freckles.  her name is maggie.  she wears a skirt made of vintage fabric and carries a basket full of vintage millinery flowers and an old stamp-turned flag.

bye for now!  xox...jenn

summer heat

it is full swing summer here in texas!  it is hot. hot. hot!!  and it will just get hotter.  i'm realizing the importance of having a pool,  having a friend with a pool, or belonging to a pool here.  we are zero for three on that list and slowly melting.  but we do have a hose and the kids have quickly made that their best friend when outside!   still dreaming of a nice nestea plunge off the side of a pool though:)  ahhhhhh.

happy friday to each and every one of you!  i have a giveaway in the works...so stay tuned for that!!  it's been much to long since i've had one.  and you deserve it!!  xoxo...jenn
