The Girl with the Thorn in Her Side...

Today started off kind of blah.I was really unmotivated even though I needed to get to the post office.I unfortunately failed at the task too and sulking at my inability to get both of the kids ready in time,sat down at the computer and decided to look at the auctions website to see if any cool ones were in my area.There was an amazing one,which OF COURSE I had missed!It had been at 9am,grrrrr.

Didn't want my day to be a total bust so I poured myself another cup of motivation and rallied the troops.There was a lovely warm breeze.I couldn't help but smile as I pushed the stroller and could see my sons chubby legs kick excitedly at getting out of the house.The normal 15 min. walk to the flea market took much longer than usual because I let my daughter walk so we had to stop so she could pick dandelions.I didn't mind I just had to keep reminding her NOT to touch peoples tulips.Last year spring was met with house after house of decapitated tulips thanks to little Miss over zealous flower picker.Thankfully everyone was very understanding of it when it happened,I had make her go to each house and apologize for it and see if they'd like new tulip bulbs(luckily for my wallet no one said that was needed).

I'm not a sweatpants type of gal but was definitely going for comfy today.I wore my thistle novelty print house dress.It is so comfy and perfect nursing too with the zipper up the front.It was a great flea market find I picked up 2 years ago for $5.00.

Here is a close up of the print:

The flea market today was a bit of a bust but I did pick up a few cute dressed at the antique mall next door for my etsy shop.I'm glad the day turned around,sometimes a walk out in the sun does a world of good.Also it crept up on me but let me say wow I went from 198 followers to 205 so Thank You!I have another give away in mind and coming very soon.

  2. Very very true! I am also too familiar with the 'blah' feeling and it's amazing what a spot of sunshine can do. Also I love the patterned fabric of your dress. I wonder what era it's from?

  8. I really love the dress! The fabric print is too cute. It is a house dress worthy of wearing out of the house :-)

    You mentioned an auction website, any chance you would share the info? I live in California and if they have a listing for all the states I'd love to check it out. If its a secret to you though, no worries...I'm sure I have a enough junk already!
