Organized Collection Sunday, crystal buttons

These are some beautiful vintage buttons that I bought last week at an antique store in Hopkins, MN {i finally found a good antique store near Minneapolis! it also had a basement full of vintage wedding dresses- can't wait to go back and start trying some on!!!} 

I have lots of new jewelry to post on Etsy today, but the site is being funny...oh, well- maybe the world is telling me to go outside and enjoy the sunshine! have a beautiful day...

Sunny LA + organized collection, beach edition

We made it back from LA early this morning {exhausted and slightly sunburnt}, but we had a really great couple of days seeing friends, soaking up the sunshine, driving the 405, picking oranges, eating delicious mexican food, sightseeing, and vintage shopping {which included a "sunday sale" where a variety of vintage lovers gather early in the morning for a literal clothing free for all in a parking lot- it got dangerous, but who isn't willing to throw a few elbows for amazing clothes at only 1$ a piece! I would be there every Sunday to fight for some treasures!!!}

I did my Sunday "organized collection" at the beach! I found everything within an arm's reach of my beach blanket...

Pink! + Organized Collections on Flickr

One of my favorite groups on Flickr (so far, I am sure there is so much that I have yet to discover) is the Organized Collection pool, that was created by amazing artist Camilla Engman. 

I added my the top picture to the group and just by peeking around the other photographs, am inspired to start arranging everything I own into curated collections! Go check it out immediately here.

So, this is my "pink" collection...I just desperately love pink. Can't help it.

(and a happy happy happy birthday to my beautiful sister! I can't wait to post about what I got for her- but I have to make sure she got it first so I don't ruin the surprise!)

Chickens!

I drew these chickens yesterday...I guess they are practicing their balancing act, you know...just in case. On another note, I listed a few new things in the etsy shop here:

and also opened a new flickr account here! Check it out and have a great weekend!!!
