A boring weekend, a new vintage find, and thoughts of a giveaway

This weekend didn't have much excitement involved. Saturday was completely lazy and Sunday involved helping my parents choose new furniture from Ikea for their new house. I did see these really cute vintage inspired aqua drinking glasses, so I might be going back for some of those. At $5.99 for a set of 6, can I really say no?!



I should probably let you know that I'm often a victim of my own posts and there was an instance of this last week. Remember the post on vintage tourist finds from Ebay? Not too many of you commented on that. Well in my search for vintage pieces for it, I stumbled across this vintage scarf with a Dallas theme. The seller thinks it's from the 40's but I'm not sure. What really sold me on it is the dress form it features. Dallas has had a long time connection to the fashion industry which is something a lot of people outside of Texas don't know. Because I love fashion, and have grown up visiting Dallas on a regular basis, I had to have it.


Also, upon visiting the lovely Blue Bell Knoll blog, I found out about Wylde Ivy perfumes on Etsy. She has a wonderful assortment of quite unique fragrances so I thought I would give a few of them a try. I ordered the assortment of 10 vials and you can choose from all of her fragrances as to which 10 you would like to sample. I'll have a review on this soon.

Also, I was thinking possibly of doing a giveaway. My followers are quickly building and I thought that once they reach 100, I would hold some sort of giveaway in celebration. So in order to make the giveaway happen sooner, please let anyone, who you think would enjoy my blog, know about it and tell them to subscribe!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and I hope your week is off to a great start!!!
