Flashback

While checking out whats new on FredFlare.com, I came across this!!!

I had the same one when I was little, it was my life. I pretended to use it more than I actually used it but I loved it. I also used to flip over my bigwheel and pretend I was making ice cream, I don't really know how I got that out of that but oh well.

Jacket Weather

I am so ready for fall. I'm ready to take long walks and kick through the piles of leaves., walking to the library, raking so Tony can jump in the leaves, cooking, and especially baking, and warm fall crafting. I'm even ready to bust out the knifty knitter and finish the scarf I started for my sister last fall. I wish it was always fall. Trying to speed up it's arrival, or at least prepare for it I bought some fall patterns and fabric

Pattern1

Pattern2

Pattern4

This one is my fave, I want to make a hundred. I'm so excited that simplicity made built by wendy patterns! I'm gonna make one out of this fab fall fabric:

SIDENOTE: the patterns look a little old ladyish but I'm gonna tweak 'em

Ride Along

I have really been wanting a bike seat for Tony, I'm too paranoid to get him a trailer and the seats that hook on the back. The first in front seats I saw were killer expensive but thanks to my parents magazine I found the Kangaroo WeeRide:

Kangaroo

It even has a nap pad in case he dozes off.

sidenote: The last time Joy and Ashley visited he fell asleep on his little steer and stroll bike and almost fell off.

I can't wait until the temp falls below 100 so we can go riding

(sorry for the super boring mommy post)

The Blues Dress

I need retail therapy. Because I have the blues, and not that of the kraft macaroni and cheese kind. I am wanting this dress even more because it is called The Blues Dress. I think it would greatly improve my emotional well being to be a couple more hundreds of dollars in debt. If there was an anthropologie store in my town it would be mine. The miles between us keep me from bankruptcy.

What Dreams are made of

Wedshoes

These are THE shoes I want for Ashley's wedding. I am in love with this brand Irregular Choice and am currently trying to figure out how to sell a kidney so I can buy all the other ones I want. These ones are on sale and for an event. there. reasoning done.

home sweet home

so lately I have been decorating my non-existent house in my head. Not that I don't love living with my family but when I finish school I want Tony and I to have our own little house that I can decorate. I love all the bright colors and I loooooooooooove kitchy junk. On that note my new fave website is Pylones USA which I found when I was looking for this toaster.

And this is MY fridge

Jadite

from bigchillfridge they have amazing colors!

and these are two of the wallpapers by mibo that I have to have (even at $84 a roll!):

Mibo

Mibo2

And I have to have every thing at Velocity Art and Design

Have I told you lately...

That I still need a digital camera!

anyway there is so much to post about, thrifting, crafting, adorable child, but without visuals it is just boring, am I right.

So here are some things I would rather spend my money on than save for the camera. I am a sucker for instant gratification. I hope it skips a generation for Tony's sake. These are from loloko which I try to stay away from but the link screams at me from my favorites:

Thinking Ahead

Have I mentioned that I LOVE wooden toys! We already have tons of Melissa & Doug toys which we only afford because T.J. Maxx has loads of them. He has just recently got in to his M & D set of food that you cut up with a wooden knife (it sounds dangerous but it isn't) With Tony's birthday in mind I have found lovely wooden toys that I really want to get him, but lets face it cannot afford. So here are a few things I am going to try to budget for.

Brontohabitat

This is so cool. It is called the brontosaurus habitat and everything fits inside the big brontosaurus!

from Wild Apples I also am in love with their arks, but that is some serious dough

And ever since soulemama posted this I have laid in bed and calculated how many months it would take me to save for this kitchen set by Elves and Angels

Kitchen

I just know him and his cousin Libby would freak they'd love it so much!

If anyone knows of any other great wooden handcrafted toys please send me the link

Meanwhile I am going to try to get my dad to buil Tony a kitchen

Choo Choo

So I was shopping around online for trains for the train table and I was realizing it was going to cost more than the table to get trains so I got on ebay, and had an all out bidding war, and won 21 thomas trains. oh ashley I know you want chanel sunglasses but once you have a little one you would trade all the chanel in the world for whatever thing that they are into. YAY!
