Top 12 of 2012

I cannot believe the year is over already..time absolutely flies the older you get, especially once you have a child. This has been a crazy year for us. Hubs is back in school, new baby, new job for me and hopefully more to come as well in 2013. I'm really hoping this next year will be our year..hey a girl can dream right?

Well lets count down my top 12 sales of 2012.

I loved this sunshine yellow multi strand necklace, so gorgeous. Like planets and the sun!

The most beautiful mustard lace and chiffon cocktail dress..worn to a wedding in 1964.

Perfect 50s leather spectators...these beauties were the only thing to make it to the front page this year

I dont know why..but i LOVED this horse print duffel.

This amazing skirt i wouldn't have even seen had the woman next to me not pointed it out and said "this would look so cute on you"...luckily (for you) i'm allergic to wool

Found this gorgeous plaid sailor dress hiding in the corner of an antique shop, went to the gorgeous Twila Jean (and she looks amazing in it, of course)

Crazy doc martin boots in purple black and teal

Amazing arabian nights printed skirt in a gorgeous blend of pink, seafoam and purple

My very favorite tent dress with polka dot ascot

Emma Domb mini wedding dress with layered train

although this dress sold as-is..it is still my very favorite dress

my favorite designer piece this year goes to the guys, this knit Burberry tie was perfection!

That is my top 12 for 2012..on to 2013

.and be on the look out for a HUGE SALE for the New Year...Its going to be a BIG one..so big it only happens once a year!!!

Happy Holidays

Hello everyone I hope you had a wonderful holiday break, or if you're still on vacation i hope you're enjoying yourself! We had a lovely family gathering at my grandma's house and nearly all the family was there for the first time in years. It was wonderful. I'm so glad that Corbin's first christmas eve he was surrounded by family and he got to see what (i feel) the holidays should be.

Admittedly we're pretty broke right now. After thanksgiving our car broke down and cost nearly 1000 to fix on top of being stuck on the other side of the state so we had to rent a car and drive back to get it when it was fixed. Then a couple weeks later our furnace decided to stop working and last week we finally got it fixed. We had to order a part..after ordering 2 other parts that weren't the problem..you know how it goes. Some-how we got "sponsored" at work as a needy family for the holidays and one day when i got back from lunch there was a big stack of presents for Corbin. It was such a blessing. We had 1 present for corbin under the tree..thats all we could afford this year but thanks to my amazing, giving co-workers Corbin had an amazing christmas. Not that its all about gifts but i'm sure some of you out there have been in our shoes before and its nice to have the help when you need it.

Corbin had so much fun opening his presents, i'll share some pictures of him..i bet you wont believe how BIG he is!

Corbin with santa! He was wearing a vintage Carters set from littlereadervintage it has cats on it!

Here he is on christmas eve-eve blowing raspberries, standing with his new walking train

here was his christmas eve outfit, love me some santa bum!

he thought this box was the most fun ever!

he didn't know what to think about the whole thing

walking by himself!!

his full christmas outfit, santa baby!

our little fam

It was a good holiday..i dont know about the rest of you but it didn't feel like christmas to me this year..not until christmas eve/day. Probably because i didn't get to do a bunch of present shopping..which i really love. Giving gifts is my very favorite thing. But anyway, that was our little holiday.

There is a SALE in the shop, today through saturday, its the last sale of the year. Everything is 25% off.
