More goodies to share

AAHHHHH...Manitou Springs, how I miss thee. So relaxing and soooooooo INSPIRING. We miss you, Safron!!

Here's some more eye candy for you. This time, it is Safron's home.





The bathroom is my fav.






And this is the garden...









We ate breakfast at the Couquette Creperie.


STUPENDOUSLY SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

Then we shopped til we dropped, LITERALLY.
This store is called "Whatever." I think they should call it "Jackpot," because that's what we hit. I'll show you my jackpot later.



This was a cute store carrying tons of Day of the Dead stuff, and the owner made the cutest little glittery matchboxes. I'll show you those later.


We took in some yummy Mexican food at the Looop. And some margeritas...
Before...

After...

This was the last shop we hit on our excursion. If I thought we hit the jackpot before, we REALLY hit it with this shop. Vintage cowboy boots GALORE!!! Vintage pottery, artwork, jewelry, furniture...and it was all 20 % off. We really scored.



Here's our loot from the weekend. Let's say we spent less than you think we did. MUCH LESS.














And so...that's our trip in a nutshell. Good times. Manitou is up there for me. Very, very inspiring. I miss it, already. Thank you for such a beautiful weekend, Safron!!

Look what I need:

Yes, I accepted these as a Valentine gift from my mom. Makes me feel old. Doesn't that make her feel even older? Anyway, I needed them so thank you, MOMMEE!!

There's something I want to talk about. I don't know who's reading this, but for those of you that ARE reading...I just have to say that life can look really beautiful in a blog. It's easy to leave out all the daily grind, or at least make the daily grind look interesting and exciting. When I started this blog, I decided that I would only write about positive things. I began this to inspire and be inspired. With that said, I just want you to know that I have been facing some tough times, and life is not always a party or a shopping day or relaxing day for me. I try to keep it positive, and I try to keep the inspiration flowin'. You only get to see the good stuff.

This move has been a very difficult transition. I have had a very hard time adjusting to life in the new place. Since I'm trying to be positive, I wanted to show you few cute things I have around the house. These little items and collections make me happy, and keep me SANE. And that is what I need most right now...Sanity. Enjoy!

My jewelry collection (even though I don't wear half of it) - all neatly organized:





These cute, antique, metal cars:



This cute clock on a newly painted battleship grey wall:


A vintage pyrex collection - found only at thrift stores:



This cute little magnet by Ipop:


These cute little vases (one was a gift from my friend, Slug.)


Big, red, Asian chest of drawers - YUMMY:


"Eat at the Nook" (My man got a screamin' deal on this vintage sign from a small town in CO)


This sweet little piggy bank that was made in Japan in the year I was born. She's as sweet as shortcake!


My man:

Jimmy told me a story, today.

It was about a farmer...

...and an invisible wolf with red eyes...

...the wolf ate the farmer...

...and the wolf is still out there in our state...

...somewhere...

Happy Wednesday, people.
