think onesies. sewn by the talented sister.

think pillows. some hand painted. some with the most awesome fabric choice ever.

think antiques. that's right, i said antiques.

think custom frames. handmade + amazing.

think pet friendly. because we wouldn't have it any other way. (not to mention the handmade line of pet beds and accessories we will be carrying)

i want to be the adult version of this. 

maybe even tonight.

that's all.

so, take me there.

where the feet are bare, the hair is blonde, and the tutu is classy.

oh- and if the hands are on my hips... 

it's probably because i'm sassy.

love,

m

(i saved this picture from somewhere on the pinterest planet and now i can't retrace my steps for the credit i'd like to give for this perfectly stunning tutu cute little blonde babe. and i'm sorry.)

red hot mama.

i love the color red.
(especially) on my lips.
on my nails.
red cowgirl boots.
as a late night highlight (temporary-thank goodness) in my hair. blaming that on the margs.

but seriously...

i need some red tights something fierce. 

like..... i will probably venture out tomorrow and find me some.
and the decision has already been made to get more than one pair.
sort of because i am a professional when it comes to ripping those jokers.

and if by chance you see me around wearing red tights day after day....
don't judge.
be jealous that you are not as festive as me.
because i will probably pretend it's for the support of valentines day or something.
and if i'm still rocking repetitively in march.... we will go from there.

love,
m

good tune tuesday.

"hey, hey what can i say?! 
i gotta woman, wanna ball all day"

okay, so i really only have some news.

but..... to me....
it's big news.

coming soon i promise.

love,
m

(my) funky monkey.

hey, monkeys! it's ta-ta-ta-ta-tooooos-day.
so turn it up or something.

The sister and I left the bungalow {my crib} yesterday only a few small even number of minutes past twelve. After getting stopped (for a good thirty minutes) before we even made it to Luverne due to crazy boring road work we then met the brother to stuff (yes, literally stuff) more things in the tightly packed Reba. You know, adding (more) to a car slam full of tables, a shelf, chairs, a bench, and much much more is so very normal for Marley and I. Needless to say, our day was full force from noon until.... well pretty much now. We didn't return to the bungalow until almost dark tonight. Yes, tonight. After a decent tip to the mariachi band, we had more than the first request of Hotel California played. Of course, ending in the Troy fight song.

With our lips painted red we felt it was only fair to paint the county we were in red, too. And all of the festivities ended slowly at our Memo's house only until homemade waffles were made for us this morning and we were up and at it again. Preparing for big things in store as the first month of the new year is coming up to its half way point.

Happy Saturday. From me (and ziggy) to you.

love,
m

today is for facts full of random.

ice-cream makes me cough.
i could use a lesson on doing my own make-up.
sometimes....i cry because i love my pooch so darn much.
i want to buy a vintage camper (small in size) and live in it for a summer. maybe on a farm.
i rarely quit talking. in fact, i tell my best stories while i am sleeping.
i am a professional blanket fort builder....
and a part time palm reader (in the state of florida, at least)
i live in a world full of pretending.

happy hump day.

love,
m

i change my "color crush" very often.

deep down in my heart my all time favorite (color) remains the same color as my eyes. 

and if you don't know what color my eyes are i will tell you just like i tell anyone else when need be...

"my eyes are green and you better write that down."

but today we are only talking crushes....

and these colors.....

they have me crushing. 

hard.

love,

m

good tune tuesday
