How I wore it and a surprise visit to the city!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Please check to see if you are the winner of the monogrammed golf glove!

Yesterday I had a surprise trip into the city - we were supposed to be going today but the Little Prince is sick and the Suburban Prince has to work tonight so the Bestie and I decided to go alone yesterday rather than take the Little Prince today.  We leapt into action, got showered, dressed and in the car within 45 minutes and sped down the highway!  It was such a gorgeous day and it felt so good to go out without coats!

We hit Starbucks the second we got the car parked then spent a few hours wandering around the Eaton Centre shopping our little hearts out!  Lunch was a shared jerk chicken salad and a side of coconut shrimp!  YUM!

It was such a fun day we didn't want it to end but our families need us so we started making our way back out of the city - but not without a stop in Michaels on the way home!

When I left in the morning I thought the Little Prince just had a cold but by bedtime last night he was throwing up, feverish and well...a hot mess!  Fortunately the Suburban Prince is used to night shifts so he slept sitting up in a chair so the Little Prince could sleep upright.  We think he was throwing up because of all the snotties he was swallowing.  I cant assure you...all the fantasies of having a child never include this part!

I wore this ensemble the other day when I went out for lunch!  This scarf was made by LWhelan over on etsy.  I asked her to include lots of the Mommy and Me fabric since it is one of my favourite Lilly prints!  The sweater is the green cotton cableknit from LLBean.

I decided to put a pink vest over it because even though the weather has been mild here, I live by the lake and sometimes there is a sharp breeze coming off it that can be unpleasant!

I learned two things when I saw this photo.  1.  Clean the mirror before taking photos.  2.  Turn off the flash.  I would've taken more photos but I was in a rush and needed to get out the door!  I will work on my technique and see if I can figure out the best setting for this sort of thing!

Have a fabulous day!

Two Florida Girls!

I have become a big fan of Two Florida Girls and all of their adorable pieces! They make so many cute items! They are celebrating their 1 year anniversary with a big sale so I thought I would show off some of the fun things I have bought from them!

Business Card Cozies!

I bought one of these business card cozies for my calling cards!

This is the gadget cozy they made for me for my Flip!

All of my items are made with this super cute Lilly fabric!

This is my passport cozy! Every jetsetter really should have one!

Valentine hair clips!

Mickey Mouse hair clips!

Snowman hair clips!

These ties are such a great idea! They have elastic for the neck part so they can just slip it under their collar and look spiffy for going out!

Have a fabulous day!

Lilly Coffee Cozy and My First Giveaway!

**Important**
Don't forget to enter my giveaway! There are only a few days left and I would hate for anyone to miss out! I have an adorable set of argyle tags up for grabs and all you have to do is enter! Good Luck!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Isn't this adorable! With hot beverage season upon us I decided this year I would spare my fingers and get a coffee/tea/hot chocolate cozy - of course I had to find one that is fun and fashionable!

Two Florida Girls had just the thing - a Lilly Pulitzer coffee cozy in one of my favourite LP prints. I asked nicely and they also made me a cozy for my camera in the same LP fabric. It feels like a little ray of summer in my tote bag!

Pay them a visit and perhaps you will find a cozy you like. Don't be shy about asking them for custom work - they have all sorts of fabrics you wont see in their etsy store!

Bring on the Pumpkin Spice Lattes!

Have a fabulous day!

I Did It!

I had some time this afternoon so I buckled down and got to work!


I revamped my old website with a lovely Autumn theme with links to both my new Etsy store and my fancy shmancy blog! I was surprised at how much of my html knowledge came flooding back once I got started. I used to make websites and ebay listings all the time so at one point I was working with html every day. It has been about 2 years since I actually sat down and built a page or site so I am happy with the result! I will be building it up as time goes on but I think I did well for an hour of work with the Little Prince playing at my feet!


I have only listed one item in my store so far - I needed to get something in there to generate a URL I could use to link to my store. I will be adding more items once I am a little bit better organized so I will keep everyone posted!


I am so excited! My craft room will be cleaned out and all organized in no time!


Here is the link to my website.


Have a fabulous day!!

Happy Labour Day Weekend!

I hope you have a great weekend!

Today my housekeeper is coming - thank goodness! The house always gets so messy during the summer so I love getting it all cleaned up! I swear if I had to choose between her and the Suburban Prince....well...let's not even go there!

This afternoon the Little Prince has a playdate in town so we will no doubt go to the park for a bit then hang out while the little ones watch Baby Einstein for a little while. The other mommy is a good friend but sooooo very different from me. She is essentially 'the anti-princess' so I have to fight the urge to make her over and get her to embrace the princess lifestyle!

Then home for dinner of some sort - I really need to start planning meals! I see a lot of people doing this but I always wonder how do I know today what I will want to eat next Thursday?

Tomorrow I think we will hang out in the back yard and do some swimming! The weather has been so nice this week and we haven't been in the pool once! We have just been so busy with so many other things! Tomorrow for sure!

On Sunday we are having a 'Last Swim of the Season' party. We invited all of our friends and their kids to come and hang out in the pool for a couple of hours before we close it this coming week. I sense another annual event coming out of this lol! I am armed with cases of pop, big bags of chips and boxes of popcicles! Thank goodness for Costco!

In the middle of all of this I hope the Suburban Prince will get the shelves put up in my craft room. It has turned into the dumping ground of the house since I don't have a lot of time to do anything besides look after the Little Prince and keep the house running but I am determined to get my craft room up and running! First things first...shelves! As soon as they are up I can get all of my scrapbooking gear up on them and clear some space. I never met a craft I didn't like so my supplies are really overflowing. I recently made the decision to purge a lot of it so once I get things organized I will be listing a lot of my excess supplies on etsy.com. I am going to keep my crafty hobbies only to scrapbooking/cardmaking, knitting and sewing. Everything else can go! If you are looking for something let me know...I might just have it!

And on a sad note....I tried to order a new LLBean tote yesterday. I got some terrible news!! They are no longer carrying totes in Fuscia or Foliage!!! I ended up not buying one because I couldn't wrap my head around this. My two favourite colours no longer available! I was told they are coming out with new colours in January but that didn't really help me right now when I need a new tote!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I am looking forward to everyone blogging about it on Tuesday!

Have a fabulous day!

Louis Vuitton Bedding!

I love Etsy! There! I said it!!! I can't get enough of it! Everyday I look for fun and interesting items - I do a lot of Christmas shopping on there - and every once in a while something is listed that just makes me stop in my tracks! A few weeks ago this exact sort of thing happened! I was doing my usual searches (Lilly, LV, Burberry etc) when I came across an item that caused me to react the way Ralphie did when he first saw the Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle.

I present to you....Louis Vuitton Bedding. Yes, bedding. Sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases!!! As you know every princess needs to lay her weary head on something worthy of her locks and I had found just the thing! I quickly ordered pillowcases in 2 patterns. I thought about buying entire sheet sets but I know overkill when I see it! I ordered just pillowcases and bought some plain brown sheets to go with them. I put them on our bed last night and all I can say is finally my bedding is worthy of me! LOL ok maybe that was a bit much (overkill remember) but still...it was so much fun to jump into bed with LV bedding!

I bought 4 pillowcases in this pattern:

I bought 2 pillowcases in this pattern (they are the same brown - the lighting is just making them look different):

Would you like your own LV bedding? Hmmm? I know you do!

CelritzDeLuxe is actually having a sale right now! And she is a wonderful seller! She hunted down the fabric I wanted and kept me updated on the status of my parcel every step of the way. Her prices are terrific considering the quality of her workmanship! I would buy from her again in a heartbeat! She also carries other designer sheet sets - RL, Burberry etc so there is something for everyone! She doesn't have pillowcases listed on their own but if you want just pillowcases contact her and ask her for a custom order. Tell her I sent you!

Have a fabulous day!
