Spring Style?

So spring is supposedly easing its way to this town (very slowly). Oh how this girl longs for some sunshine days. I was wondering, it seems that every-time this time of year comes around I get the inspiration to get a spring style. It is like I try to think ahead what my theme or spring mood will be this year? Of course my children are by birthright dragged into moms crazy notions and ideas also. I have to think of them too! Just to pick everyones brain and wondering if you do the same. Does going to the store and seeing all the rows of yummy flip-flops bring the creative juices flowing? Do you also change your house decor for the spring time ? I am inching to do all these things and wondered what you are thinking of too? Let me know and lets do some spring swapping.

Cathedral Candles.

So ... finished trying to figure out how to beautify these dollar tree candles I found. I had seen some pictures in some Romantic homes mag and liked the idea of the vintage sheet music.So I printed off some from the "Graphics Fairy" on the web and with a little mod podge and rub on transfers ...Wa-La! Now run down to the "tree" and get some. I think I will try to put them on a shelf in the Master bedroom? how pretty.

Happy Feet!

Ok, so i love shoes. what girl does not? right? But there are just some some shoes that just make me feel happy that day. Some days you just say well.. what shoes go with this outfit? and then there are those some days when you just want your shoes to make you have happy feet no matter what out fit it is. My favorite shoes by far are flip flops. Simple ones not too flashy flashy but not trashy,trashy either. The simplicity of just slipping-on and going is just the right way to wear shoes plus, you get to have lovely toe polish too. Now we are (hopefully) coming to the end of this cold winter and swinging right into spring I have some flip flop daydreaming in my mind. For now, my little ballet flats and boots are the shoes for me. I hope you love your shoes too and find a pair that makes you look down and smile for just a little bit of happy feet!

I love polka dots! there is just something about a ton of mini dots that give you that1950's nostalgia feeling. These definitely give me happy feet.


These ones I call my Tiffany shoes. they are my new favorite find, by that I mean Janine's Thrift to treasure find. I love to thrift store shop it gives my little heart thrills. $2.50 Talbots shoes. yep. don't cry outloud...keep it up inside,learn how to hiiide yourr feeelings...... he he. got to love a bargain.

The Ones I Love!

Well.. sadly it is the end of the romantical week of postings. I really hope you got to enjoy some of them. It's always nice to know that there is others out there that might share the same foolishness for sappy movies, flowers, a good love story book and all things that bring our daydreaming hearts to a stop. Of course, my sensibilities often distract me from the practicalities of everyday life, I'm likely to be found daydreaming of sitting in Paris at coffee shop sipping a latte out of a delicate china cup and eating a croissant on a lace paper doilies. (calorie free-of course).I read in a book one time someone describe it as this. "I believe the true nature of romance is relaxing your expectations and relishing in life's small moments of purity and beauty" . Being a romantic is letting go sometimes, baking a fancy cake on a plain old Monday or stopping to put on soft music to get ready by, when you are already running late. I believe I was taught to appreciate the little things .
I am really blessed to have all that i have for a romantic life. My relationship with the Lord, family,simplicity and memories-these are things that bring me joy and that make for my romantic life. And for me,there is no shame in it. I'm happy to play the fool.

Here we all are, a chain of romantics!

Oh for the love of chocolate!

In complete, absolutely no guilt, in love with chocolate. Not just chocolate but, cupcakes that are chocolate too! So , of course I had to break down and make a few . One for you, two for me.... he he.
These turned out soo good and I always use egg whites instead of the whole egg to make them extra fluffy. You have always got to put cream cheese frosting on them for the yumo factor.There is nothing like the warm smell of chocolate cupcakes roaming through the house. I think I need to make brownies next! must keep the love alive around here. Lord knows chocolate will do it for me.

The things of Love.

Well.. had a few technical difficulties in the past days but "my love" fixed it right up for me. Since this is romantical week I thought I could list some of the things that bring my heart to just burst with warmly love. I know you probably have your own list too! maybe you could go over your list to remind yourself of all that cozy's your heart.
