Becoming a Siamese Chihuahua

Did that post title get your attention? Good...I needed something to grab you since I am so late in posting.

Last week, I met up with a friend at a bookstore to catch up on life. We sat in the children's section. It was quiet since it was 8pm. All the kiddos were home in bed. As I waited for my friend, I went on a hunt for the best children's book series ever. It is a series I didn't discover until my senior year of college. One of my roommates was an elementary ed. major and she had lots of children's books. And thus, I learned of...

SkippyJon Jones.

Skippyjon Jones is a siamese cat who has a vivid imagination. In his daydreams he thinks he is a chihuahua. He goes on all sorts of adventures with a gang of chihuahuas. And they of course are written in rhyme. So SJJ says things like, "My name is Skipito Friskito. I am a great sword fighting bandito!"

These books are so cute. My mom gave me one for Christmas a few years ago. I can't wait to have little children in my life to read it to. In the meantime I will be content to read it to my grown up friends who think I'm a nut case.

(And I just discovered there is a website...here. It's not as awesome as the books themselves but it will do.)

Happy Journey!

Becoming Strapped

I found a new shop on etsy.com that I may never get over. Moxie & Olver. I will have to save my monies(eww...I hate when people say monies. Why did I do that?)if I want to actually buy anything from them, but just look how cute!

It's a guitar strap with an owl on it. It's so cute.

And this one. With the little heart carved into a tree? I love it!

This one is a mandolin strap. I don't play mandolin but I may have to learn just so I can have a reason to get this strap.

So pretty. Sigh.

What are your favorite etsy and bigcartel shops?

Happy Journey!

Becoming Positively Lovelies

Tickle My Fancy Tuesday!!!! It is our first TMFT and I am so excited! There are such talented people in the world and I just can't help but share this beauty with you as I find it.

Positively Lovelies!!!

1. I love this print from Vol25. I love the colors and the script and the resolve of the statement. I should probably hang this on my mirror so I see it everyday.

2. This vanity from Altar'd. Isn't it gorgeous? Just look at that beautiful yellow! And the chalkboard in place of the mirror?! Love it.

3. This is just too cute. HappyTownUSA has several of these prints. They are just so precious. It combines one of my favorite childhood toys with cute captions. Could this be any more awesome? I think not.


And now for a little of my own gratitude. Thank you for reading! See you tomorrow for the "World-Changer Wednesday".

Happy Journey!
