Bad art rocks almost as much as great art!

I love bad art as much as I love amazing art!!! Here's a new piece which my sister rescued for me!! I love it!!! Check out the dust!!!

Recession Shoes!!!

Recession sucks for those of us who have a weakness for shopping!!!! I admit it I love beautiful garments, accessories, jewellery, and most of all shoes!!!! I have dedicated my life to the things that we layer on our bodies and have no regrets!!! This recession has really put a damper on purchasing these possible heirloom pieces, but I have found a solution!!! Though I take great pride in wearing things out until the are no longer recognizable as their previous selves, more often then not, I do not wear things enough. Usually I find a donation bin to deposit these former treasures, but I have found a new home for them....Peacock Boutique on 10th St NW. This little consignment boutique has been operating in Sunnyside since I was young, and is now under new management. Michelle is fabulous and friendly and has a great eye for beautiful pieces. I have not only made $ on my former favorite pieces, but have picked up some beauties for next to nothing as well! Check out these Fly Girl shoes I picked up for fall....$42!!!! Can you believe it? I KNOW!!!! I love them and considering what they go for new it felt like they made me $$$!!!! So next time you are cleaning out your closet, or feeling a need to buy something beautiful for yourself, go directly to Peacock Boutique not only will you be making/saving $ you can also feel good about not adding to the waste of the rag trade we all love!!!!

Coo-Coo Crazy!!!

So I went to Dick and Jane's on 17th to drop off my wares and they had even more great stuff then they had last time I was there!!! I couldn't leave behind the silhouette faux coo-coo this time, and it is now residing in my bedroom! It is silent, even with the pendulum, I will be back for the other styles for sure! Luckily my husband understands my coo-coo and watch collecting, he has a weakness for portable alarm clocks! I also picked up an adorable lunch bag, made out of recycled materials. I have been looking all over for a good lunch bag, my old one is dying, Dick and Jane's has a super cute deer one and a black and white skull version, they are great at $11 each!!!! Yay!!! I am sooo excited for this little shop, I am already planning to go back for the house warming tealights with images of houses and various appliances catching fire, they are the perfect gift!!!! Who loves shopping? I do!!!!!
