bow to me

i cant figure out if i would actually wear any of  these out. dont get me wrong i think they are beautiful and envied, but there is a fine line between gorgeous and ridiculous, especially when you become a certain age, or else i would totally sport the big pink bow.
i do love ,love...love these though. i have come to understand why someone would want to become a stylist or designer, because you can fufill all your spending urges and put them to good use.
but these little ones make total sense. and are so cute hmm.

pcc

i frequent the local swap meets, searching for the perfect tchotke to add to my collections. most times i window shop, it really depends upon my mood. i only ask about something if i really want to purchase it. i have to change this and get over my shyness to get a better idea of what things are worth and where i can get the best deals.
last sunday was pcc and i had some good luck, so much so that i had to leave early for fear that i would spend all of the christmas budget on myself.
i bought a handful of big buttons for a scarf project i am working on
a a blue ceramic barrel pitcher
some air plant for gifts (the only thing not for me)
and a beautiful vase with cherries and string around the mouth. this was too good to pass up.
see.

and to go with the season everyone had their christmas things out. i saw these two trees that i loved but don't have anymore space for christmas crap.
i loved this tree the white leaves were of heavy white paper, i should have bought it.

i tend to stay away from drowning in silver tinsel and trees during the holidays, but i like this one because there where a starburst/flower on the branches.

par avion

when it rain it pours, regarding magazines,i have an influx of mags right now and earnark all of them. i remember this in , i think, vanity fair lately.
i have been on the hunt for the perfect new bag. something brightly colored, definately no synthetic leathers, must go over shoulder, on the bigger side, without any bells and whistles, literally. its been a long hard search to no avail.
i would be down for these kate spade bags if it was earlier in the year and white doesn't really work with my messiness, but i do love the kitschiness of them.

and i would pack them all away in this and go to bolivia.

obsession for the weekend- i scream





so- i have been having these visions of driving around in an old pink toned ice cream truck billowing sweet smelling goodness and followed by mesmerized children in frilly dresses.

i have not decided exactly what to vend. something homemade and delicious. these people have the right idea. just someone else that i am jealous of. or just update the traditional like these guys, i need to find an event to use them in, since they are available in la.

this is not the most rational idea for myself, so i am trying to convince some entrepreneurial friends of my brilliant idea. imagine eye glasses or organic pies and lunch goods.


there is a great example of the perfect truck close to my home. i always see it parked, and wonder where and what they do. i have a fantasy that they serve proper ice cream sundaes out of the big tubs with hot fudge and sprinkles while they play ragtime music, its that sort of nostalgic look that it has. i hope to find it over the weekend so i can post a few pictures to share.
