Chrismas Shopping

Our elves are very busy this week preparing for 3 shows this weekend! On Saturday we will be at The Little Italy Mercato and Saturday night we move over to India Street for the  Little Italy Tree Lighting & Christmas Village. On Sunday-be sure to come by the McKinley Elementary Arts & Crafts Fair in South Park. Dress warm for our blustery San Diego weather!

Time is ticking...

Join me at Papertales in Point Loma this Saturday from 4 to 7 for a wonderful evening of 

 Christmas shopping!

Boxes & Boxes...

We have stacks of empty flatware chests and typewriter cases that I can't part with. We started to paint the silverware chests white and line them with vintage sheet music. Then...we thought we would enhance them with small Christmas trees with vintage sheet music rolls, a little burlap and more sheet music...

These trees & more are available at The Cornerstore in El Cajon, CA.

19 years ago today...

This beautiful hand made spoon heart was sitting next to the coffee pot this morning!

After 19 years of marriage I still get incredibly thoughtful anniversary gifts-truly from the heart...

NYC

While we were in New York we decided to go to Hoboken, New Jersey-home to Carlo's Bakery aka

 The Cake Boss!



After a 20 minute $45 cab ride, we discovered a line of about 50 people outside. When we were selected to go inside, there were another 40 people in a very small bakery! We bought tons of pastries, saw Buddy's sister and one of the bakers from tv! We enjoyed our cannolis and cupcakes then found a $9 bus back to the city! Evelyn was a good sport and let me stop at a flea market on the way to New Jersey.

Vintage Hair Accessories

My daughter thinks only "old" people would wear these! We stained a piece of leather, sewed on a vintage shoe buckle, added the stick and voila! I'm back in the 70's!

NYC

Lizzy & I are off to New York City this morning, we were chosen to be in the audience for Martha Stewart's Show on Consignment/Thrift Store finds! We are very excited about the show and spending a quick weekend  in NY.

I'll let you know all of the details next week!
