Productive

Yesterday was quite the productive day! I made 5 new pieces and almost finished a custom necklace. I also made yummy egg salad, chex mix, and a chocolate cake. (recipes will come next week) Since today is the last day for the Vday sale I'm working on new items to replenish the stock, which has gotten a bit low. I'm very excited about Spring and all the fun colors to come! Here are some of the new pieces...

Nature Lover

Secretly Simple

Royal Elegance

Natural Indulgence

My Heart

Well, I have finally decided to do a post on the amazing book I am reading. It's called "Calm My Anxious Heart." I've read multiple books pertaining to women, contentment and relationships however this one has done a number on me...in a great way! I can't explain why it is different but it is. Women have such a way of worrying about things that are out of our control and yet we're still the worrywart. It also makes me realize just how blessed my life is and how silly it to complain about things. Anyway, for all of you women out there - go out and get this book! Let me know what you think or if you have ever read it.

Now to start on jewelry. I bought a lot of good stuff yesterday so hopefully I'll get some done so I can show you tomorrow!

I love this quote!

Romance is in the Air

Since it is Valentine's week I decided to take a chance on red. Red is the color of the moment which is appropriate since I have always wanted to paint a room a deep red. Of course I have always chickened out and therefore I just have lots of red accents in various rooms. I once had a red couch that I absolutely loved! Here is a lovely simple room accented with reds. It just looks like a awesome country getaway.

I don't even know why I like this???

I love this table setting! If only hubby and I were having a Vday party- this would be perfect!

Spending Spree

Wow oh wow am I in a spending mood! For the past couple of weeks I've been drooling over all the new Spring clothing. (Keep in mind that I am still on a tight budget) However, Hubby gave me the go ahead to buy a new outfit for our upcoming trip to the Dominican Republic in the beginning of March! So I've been looking and looking and everything that I've found has been quite pricey! So I decided on a simple nude long strapless dress I found on ebay. I figured that the price was definitely right and I could dress it up or down. The perfect outfit! I also bought a tank top for $8. Yep, $8! But I am definitely still on the lookout for another little dress number, so if you see any let me know! So here's what I bought and a couple of other things on my wish list although I couldn't find the items that I've been eyeing in the boutiques...
