Nothing speaks more about a woman’s class and distinction than the accessories she uses in order to personalize her look. When a woman combines making herself observed with class and distinction, Vintage is the first thing that comes to mind.

It's been a long time baby....
Wow, It has been two months since I have wrote or even looked at my blog. So much for trying to get anyone to notice me...;)
Not much has really changed, other than the kids are out of school and all ready the youngest one (10) is driving me crazy!
I have added many new items from my bellaflower shop and I have also revamped my vintage shop to the 10s.
I am looking forward to some family BBQs with the family when the weather permits, It has been very humid and wet here in Winnipeg so here's hoping for a nice weekend soon.
Here is a pic of one of my invites that you can buy on bellaflower
And here is the perfect vintage summer dress that you can buy @ craftytreasures
What do you have planned for the summer?
Smiles,
Tina

Sick and Tired
I am so sick of this cold, it sure is hanging on this time. Nothing serious, just a plain old yucky cold. Hence why I have not found the time or energy to blog about anything. Actually I am kinda lacking in all areas, thank goodness my Etsy shop is a little slow right now...while everyone is out complaining I am just sitting here and enjoying the quite time...for now!
I really have not been a good twitter friend either, but I have popped in a couple of times a day to see whats up...;)
Here are a few items that I sure could use right about now:
Enjoy!

Do you have a green thumb?
Its that time of year again where my thumb starts to itch and turns green....well that just sounded silly. anyways, I really do get excited when planting season is just around the corner. I have a beautiful little garden in my backyard that I just cant wait to tend to. I find gardening very peaceful and rewarding...kinda like my own babies that I get to watch grow, fuss and care over. I love planting out doors during the warm summer days. I don't stop there, I also have an indoor herb garden, they are very easy to take care of and you can have fresh herbs all threw the winter months, plus they are a wonderful decoration as well.
Here are some items that I found browsing the Plants and edibles on Etsy:
Worlds Away-Kit by Etsy shop: Augury
Just Moss by Etsy shop: MissMossy
Garden Markers by Etsy shop: Monkeysalwayslook
Purple Cornflowers by Etsy shop: Azuredandelion
Japanese Bonsai by Etsy shop: Timtierney
Enjoy!

Tina

Waste Not Wish List
The theme I chose for this Wednesdays wish list is waste not, Or at least waste less.
Some of the changes I have made are easy and have saved me a ton of money.
For instance, I no longer use plastic bags, I always have fabric bags on hand in the car and that alone saves me 5 cents per plastic bag that some stores now charge.
I now use fabric lunch bags and sandwich bags...that has saved me tons of money. I used to go threw so many of those little plastic baggies that my boys take to school for lunches.
Fabric napkins are a favorite of mine and in my house we can never have to many...;)
Recycling and reusing is a big part of our everyday life.
What are some of the things you do to waste less in your home?
Smiles,
Tina

Whats For Supper Mom?
Whats for supper tonight Mom? I look at my watch and think to myself...its only 7:30 am...how the heck should I know.
I don't mind cooking, I rather enjoy it. But I really wish they would of told me before getting married and having children that this would be a life long commitment of keeping my family happy with the meals I choose. Nothing sucks more than when your child tells you supper is gross, and when you look over at your husband for reassurance, he wont even look at you.
So I battle every day with the question "Whats for supper Mom" and my reply is Food or some days pooh on a stick...yes I really say that. I went with the make a menu thing and that lasted for 2 weeks...boring...everyday of the week was the same...blah.
So what do I do now....nothing! I stopped stressing about it all and started to get creative with the food I buy. You don't have to spend a fortune on a meal to feed a family of four...you just have to be creative in what you make.
For example: Nachos are a super-fast supper idea. Place a pile of tortilla chips in a shallow dish. cooked ground beef over top, add shredded cheese and place in oven till warm. Top with sour cream, if desired and don't forget the salsa!
Little Pizzas are so much fun to make, get the kids to help they will love making their own. use small pitta pockets, don't open them. layer on the tomato sauce and let the kids pick their own toppings. I have found that my children will add veggies on their own when asked to make the pizzas. add deli cold cuts and cheese and place in oven till done.
Slow-cooker recipes are all over the net. I love using mine. Here is a link to the Better Homes And Gardens website for slow cooker ideas and other recipes.
So what is for supper tonight?? I opted for a pack of Souvlaki marinated pork loin $12.00 at Costco for 6 pieces threw them into the slow cooker...did I mention I love my slow cooker? I added red,yellow,green peppers, baby carrots and green onions covered with lid and its cooking on high, it should be done in about 3 hours. I think I will be making rice as a side dish.
Oh, and the house smells yummy!

Countdown To Easter
Easter is just around the corner. I Love this time of year..well most of it, I could do without the smell of melting dog poop coming from my neighbours yard and my nine year old son jumping into every muddy puddle he sees. If I had a pair of rain boots I just might be tempted to join him..maybe.
I love the fact that I can take off some layers of clothing...now if I could take of some layers of body fat I would be OK...but that will have to wait till after Easter...who can resist a chocolate bunny...not me!!
Here are a few items I found on Etsy that might get you into the Easter/Spring mood, Enjoy...;)

Mmmm… Pineapple! Great by itself, heaven on a pizza, and quite pretty on your kitchen table!
If you guessed that I love pineapple...well your right!!
But I just dont love any kind...I love fresh pineapple...sure the canned kind is OK on pizza but nothing beats having fresh juicy pineapple.
Did you know that the pineapple is an edible tropical plant. Also the name pineapple comes from their resemblance of the pinecone...cool eh!
Pineapple is high in vitamin C and an vitamin B1
