goodies in the mail

Daddy and Ruth relaxing on the screened in porch this evening

my goodies in the mail!

inside of the needlecase

Yesterday, I received a great surprise in the mail all the way from Brisbaine, Australia! I won a giveaway several weeks back from this very talented lady named Selina. Her blog is so inspiring! Here's a couple pictures of the super cute needlecase I won made from vintage selvage and felt. I love it! And she even threw in some wonderful vintage fabric and super-soft chenille! Thanks so much, Selina!

Have a great night, everybody!

self portrait monday

inspired by my friend, Heather, I've decided to include a post every Monday called "self portrait monday" that shows what I'm wearing. She does it several times a week, but I confess I don't really have "outfits" on every day that are worth a picture! (most days, I'm still in my pajamas until lunchtime)... But I think I can handle one picture a week to show off my favorite clothes.

So here goes:

White Hair Band - Two for a dollar from flea market mall

Hooded Red Zip Up - M.K.M. DESIGNS (free at a garage sale)

Vintage Polyester Pantsuit - Handmade, bought at Goodwill about 15 years ago for about $4.00. It's one of my all time favorites - there's actually a collared jacket that matches, but that's a little too much retro goodness for doing housework. haha... I tried it on this morning and was so happy that it fits again.

Barefoot, as usual

Total cost of outfit - $4.50 - NOT BAD!

Can you tell I love a good bargain? haha...

Maybe doing this will motivate me to get dressed up in a cute outfit at least one day out of the week. :)

Have a great day, everyone!

check out this giveaway

I discovered a great shop on etsy tonight, and the artist's work is so amazing! Beautiful jewelry hand stamped with english and hebrew letters. She is doing a giveaway on her blog for a gorgeous necklace. Just wanted to spread the word. Enter to win - maybe one of us will be the winner!

Have a blessed evening,

Lora
