I've always been a big fan of buffets and credenzas. Could it be that they remind me of my childhood and my grandma who I now care for? Probably so. She stored everything in hers, from family photos, her brazilian embroidery, loteria games (Mexican bingo), and momentos. I've always been a busy body, finding new things and information has always been my thing...hence my lifelong dream of being a reporter. In the words of my grandma, * "esculce, esculce".
While hers was not as extravagant as these, I could totally see myself digging into either one! haha
*Esculcar- translated in english as to spy, search.
I will gladly trade anyone living where the weather is between 70 and 80 degrees, please. It's been over 95 everyday, in fact it's been so hot, 95 would be welcomed here. In the words of my Uncle Paul, "Candi, get out of the sun...you're going to melt." I think I'll just stare at these relaxing outdoor photos and hope for better, cooler days. Have a great one!
Thank you for your photo opinions in helping me to revamp my shop. I have now decided to carry matte 8 x 10 and 8. 5 x 11 prints based on what you've all stated. I have yet to do so for the note cards/5 x 7's but that will change in the future. Here are a few of my latest prints. I hope you enjoy them!
It is by believing in roses that one brings them to bloom.

I am in love with THELOVESHOP'S etsy store, as she has the most amazing prints and posters! I knew once I saw this particular one last night that I had to post it. This is MY life at the moment.
I'm currently looking to revamp my etsy shop, and I am taking suggestions. If you wouldn't mind letting me know your favorite size photo print for framing, and what type of paper is your favorite, I would gladly appreciate it!
Thanks so much!!!
It's no secret I love roses...from my mom, to my middle name, and my mama's beautiful garden. Oh and this beautiful dress, I just love it too! If you haven't noticed rosettes are everywhere this season...I can see why!
Wow, it seems as though I have lost track of the day(s). It's been a very stressful week, as you all know I am a caregiver for my grandmother, and let's just say the stress wasn't so kind to me and of course the fact that my internet went out for two days.
My mom and I got a bit of a break...thanks to my brother, and we took some bouquets to The Antique Gardener and Topia Home and Garden in Sutter Creek. This is what they looked like before being packed up to the foothills! Hope you enjoy your weekend. I'm going to try my best to post every day again, starting Monday. Sorry for the minor slip up!
Here's the view from top of our kitchen table:
Happy Cinco de Mayo! In honor of my favorite mexican aka my late grandpa, Maurilio I'm posting an oldie but goodie, that I took on his birthday, November 14. xoxox
Grandpa's Rose- available in my shop on etsy
I have been in love with Deconstructress etsy shop for months, in fact I wanted to post her items on wordpress months ago, but since I was moving I postponed it. I am happy to finally post her work, and it makes me even happier that her shop is the first in my ongoing etsy shop series. Thank you Deconstructress for allowing me to feature your beautiful custom gown line!
Here's a brief bio on her shop:
Deconstructress states; "My gowns are created from scratch or by piecing together sample wedding gowns. I use new and old materials. Many of my gowns are hand painted using a variety of techniques to create wearable art. My inspirations come from art, literature, film, music, nature and anything else that I can interpret into a piece of clothing."
My mom bought this vintage jadite colored Occidental stove in December, and I seriously think she made the best purchase of her life. It is such a great conversation piece, I swear you wouldn't believe the amount of 24/25 year old guys who are in love with this thing. My brother had a party the other night when Chuck Lidell was fighting (UFC), and the guys went crazy over this stove. And here my brother and I tried to talk her out of purchasing it. Word of advice...don't listen to me!!!
