racky ric-rac roses
While I was blog surfing the other day I found a genius idea to make some flowers with Ric-Rac, felt, and a button. Since then I have been busy making these:
Cute huh?! To finish and make into a hair clip you simply take another circle of felt cut a slit toward the middle/outside, slip a little alligator clip in and hot glue it to the flower. Pretty slick.
Well I bought some Ric-Rac but I've already went through all that.
Then mom came home yesterday with this Thrift Store find:
Ric-Rac in all sorts of fun colors! 50 cents for all of it!
I'm tellin' ya my momma is the best thrifter.
Blessings!

Surprise!
This was my surprise as I was pulling weeds:
A giant zucchini!
The plant isn't very large and I didn't know it was trying to produce!
Zucchini bread anyone?
But boy it is really working now, there are more growing.
And my zinnias...well they are so...
close to all being bright beautiful flowers.
This stage of my garden is one of my favorites. Things are filling in and I can see that things are starting to produce and thrive. It's quickly becoming my little oasis.
Blessings!

One-for-One
My Summer wardrobe addition?
A pair of Toms!
I am SO happy with them. They are comfy, cute, and go with basically everything. They also are doing some good! I have been wanting a pair for a long time but then their Summer collection came out and this Sea Green color just spoke to me.
Toms has a "One-for-One" motto. Meaning: You buy a pair and they give a pair to a child to has no shoes. To protect their feet from possible injuries that can occur when you have no shoes whatsoever and are walking all the time on everything. So you are paying for 2 pairs of shoes and that makes it worth it!
Go here to buy your own Toms:
Blessings!
