Dream house...but I got the dishes

A few weeks ago I went through some townhomes that are being built near us and died when I walked into the beach house style one. If you know me like you think you know me you should know that I ( as well as Bill, but nobody really cares what the hubs thinks about decorating) am in love with the beach and tropics. So I went back and took pics to remember for my future home.
This sign I actually ripped it off the wall, I was just trying to see if it had a sticker on the back and how am I supposed to know that they glue these kinds of things down?

Totally going to go junk yard shopping for closet doors when we get a house. Look how freakin adorable this bed is! Aaaaahhhh, I want it all!


I never considered myself a white tile and dark grout person, but I think I have converted, lovin it!


These 3 signs as well as the Pool and Cabana sign you saw on the first pic are all being sold somewhere. Keep an eye out and let me know if you see them. Dying to have them, just dying!


So glad we sold all of our furniture when we moved so we can start fresh! Definitely not getting leather again, and Tommy Bahama has the cutest fabric ever at Joann's. to make such cute pillows for my beach house. And yes I will still decorate this way even if I live in the mountains, or Alaska. Home should be an oasis.

See these freakin cute dishes? Don't you wish you had them...

I took them apart, cause they were glued as well and found out where they were from... Kohl's! And guess what is even better, I got 70% off of them. (I think I hear angels singing) They would have cost me over $400 and I got them for around $150. Woot woot! Now all we need is a table and dinning room to put them on!

Long Time No Blog

If you are all caught up on my bloggin then you will remember my last post {or just scroll down and see it} Does anything about these first two pics remind you about my last post? Twins maybe? This is Bill as a kid, yes we know he has a dress on, but the photographer was already there and he wasn't dressed yet so this is what got thrown on him! Glad he didn't grow up with identity issues! These are also my two favorite pics of all time! We have a brag board at work where everyone has been posting pics of there kids, I am thinking of posting these, I consider Bill to be a 30 yr old kid...and he is mine.


Also, da da da da {enter trumpets}, I have decided to start my shop back up. I was going to go to school this semester until I realized that I would be considered out of state tuition payer and decided I didn't like math enough to pay over a $1000 for it. I am not sure I like it enough to pay anything for it, but that is all I need to get a worthless associates so I can move on and get an almost worthless bachelors... So I thought it was time to get the shopity shop back up and pray for a better economy so I can send my assets to college in the fall.

These are a few that I have left and posted on http://www.kissesnlollipops.etsy.com

Although I just sold this one to a Canadian today. Thank you Canada, enjoy the cupcakes.
The cutest girl ever at work makes cakes for a living on the side at www.camiscakes.com and had a cake decorating class for us, mine still looked like a 5 yr old decorated it compared to everyone else's, but if you have seen previous posts of my cake decorating this is a vast improvement. Thank you Cami! You rock my socks girl
Before
After...

Oh and I was very business womanly and took the cake class opportunity to sell my aprons, sold more than I thought so it was a success!
I finally hooked up my desktop which had been sitting in a box since we moved here. Totally forgot about what was on my screen saver until this little creature popped up. And no I am not talking about the monkey. I miss Bunnee, hope she is liking Chicago, she always was more of a city girl! And I will get another to fill my void when we finally get our own place and won't move from it for a long time! Someday that will happen...I hope.
