Treasury Listings!


This week has been amazing for me in the treasury department! 3 of my items have been featured, and I love all of the themes of the treasuries! I'm going to have to start making them, I love to put together pieces from all across etsy. 

The first one is a Smurf collection. So awesome! Click on the image to view the treasury. Don't you just love all the blues?






Next is an amazing Indian summer collection. I love all the golds, it's such a beautiful mix! Click on the picture to see the treasury. I'm obsessed with the vintage repurposed necklace!


And my listing here are my golden shoe clips!



And the most recent one is the super fun, and fabulous collection called Fairy Floss! Features my two favorite colors, pink and soft blue! Click on the link to see the treasury :)


My piece here is the cotton candy inspired hair clip!




Hope you guys like everything as much as I did! Check these out and support handmade art :)

30 for 30 challenge finale!

So I am finally done with the 30 for 30 challenge! Whew! It took me a lot longer than I expected. I started out on a roll, but as the month went along, I got busier and busier and wasn't able to get pictures taken in time. Here are the last two outfits!

Words of Wisdom #2 & Kitty Pic


Here is a Meow Monday! Well, meow tuesday! It's of my cat Phoebe, typing away at my moms desk. She loves to be everywhere we are, and will sit on us no matter how busy we are. I got this shot while I was talking to my mom about something, and next thing I see is Phoebe typing (well attempting to type!)



So yesterday was me and Woody's 6 months, so I got a picture of us before we went out to dinner. We went to House of Hunan in Akron, which was amazing! It's a nice sit down restaurant with Chinese, Thai and sushi. So delicious! I definitely over indulged. 


I think Woody always squints in our pictures haha.


I really need to get time to upload the last two outfits! I just have been so busy!

Days 23-28

Hello :) Hope everyone had an amazing weekend! It went by way to fast, like always. I started moving out of my apartment Friday, and it was a lot of work! I have way too much stuff in my tiny bedroom. 

Tomorrow is me and Woody's 6 months (even though we were "together" for quite a few months before that.) So for our 6th months he got me a Pandora bracelet! It's perfect! I've always wanted one, and he even got me an elephant charm. The elephant is kind of an inside joke with us, and he got me a stuffed animal elephant for Christmas. So this way he is always with me, even when I am in Georgia. (Insert awww moment here)

Unique diy jewelry holders

Tomorrow I will post my final outfits for the 30 for 30 challenge! I can't wait to share them with you!


For todays post, I'm always looking for new ways to hang my jewelry. I have a ton of necklaces, and right now I have them hung behind my dresser on hooks. But I wan't a new way to display them in Georgia! Here are some amazing, and simple DIY jewelry holders!

Here is such a clever way to use a wooden hanger and turn it into a jewelry holder! This is from Household 6 Diva.



This one uses a simple frame and wire. So clever! From Pinterest.



I love this design! It can be found here on designsponge! This is something I am definitely doing when I move into my apartment in Georgia. I have lot's of old spools of thread, but nothing to do with them! Most are too old to use- they just break when I sew. 





Another frame idea, using wood instead of wire. From Pinterest



This one uses a cork board and some scrapbook paper! Also from Pinterest



Another frame idea, but this one has the hooks directly into the walls. Yet another Pinterest!



This one uses a frame, and chicken coop wire! Tutorial here!




Would you try any of these? I'm thinking the spools for necklaces, the frame with chicken wire, or wire going across for necklaces.

Birdcage Chandelier & Treasury

I was looking around on of my favorite crafting blogs, designsponge, when I saw this amazing diy bird cage chandelier! I love birdcages, and own quite a few antique ones, and this is a PERFECT way to display it! Here is the link  on how to do it :) 





Awesome, right?


I was also featured in another fabulous treasury! Check these amazing handmade beauties! I especially love  the dress and bouquet!


Here are my shoes featured!


Let me know if any of you try the birdcage chandelier! I might do it in my new apartment!

Meow Monday/Shopping

Hello :) For todays Meow Monday I'm featuring the elusive Coco. She lives at my dads, and is the bad cat that ate my camera cord. This is one of the few pictures I have of her, because she never sits still when she's in public, and most of the time she hides. She is not very social. But, she is a beautiful calico! 




Coco, the first day we got her, 4 years ago.



I wen't to Gabriel Brothers with my mom this weekend and got a few new things! I know while I'm on my challenge I really shouldn't, but I couldn't pass up some great deals! They have designer clothing for very cheap, and it's hit and miss; somedays you find fabulous things, others nothing. Today was one of those days where I liked everything. Here is this knitted top I loved so much, I got it in purple and yellow! They were $6 each.

  

I also bought this fabulous skirt for $8!


And I paired it with this yellow top to go shopping. Both new, but included it in the challenge as wild card pieces. 


I paired it with these yellow wedges. These shoes are actually from Junior homecoming, back in high school! My mom rhinestoned them for me, and I wore a short yellow sequined dress. Oh memories..


This is the yellow dress.. those were the days of little Adrienna. Oh I wish I was that small again..




Today's work outfit.



These are shoes I got at a local consignment store for $4.00. 


I hope you guys have an amazing monday!
