Can You Spot the Fake? (Budget Friendly vs. Budget Buster)

While doing some research online about one of the items in my shop, I came across this image:

Nice right?

And here's one of mine from the store:

Beautiful! (Click here to see more or purchase!)

But guess what? The first picture was found here:

And if you can't see it, they are "modeled after vintage flea market finds...and printed with faded logos for a timeworn look." And the price? $99.

Mine? $30.00 and all real and authentic.

And that is my version of Budget Friendly vs. Budget Buster.

The One Where We Dress Up Pepper

I helped at a friend's garage sale yesterday and in between sales we had some fun with some items for sale and a willing model.

Getting Ready for a Swim!

You've got to entertain yourself somehow! Hope you had a great, sunny weekend.

Talk soon!

Blue or Pink?

Hello!

I hope everyone had a great Easter. My family certainly did. Saturday we were treated to this after dinner from one of my close family members (won't reveal who yet as it's a secret! But, it wasn't me!)

Aren't they darling? Blue and pink peeps, and the little flags say Blue Or Pink? They are expecting!!
One of my favorite things to do is plan showers (baby and bridal alike), so of course my brain is already spinning with different baby shower ideas. One idea that is really resonating with me now is a book-themed shower. The Mom-to-Be is an avid reader and lover of Pride and Prejudice. Here are some inspiration pictures I've found around the web recently:

And this is one of my favorite book-themed baby shower images on the web:

The vintage blocks are darling, and I love those stacked books on the stand with the glass lid. Too cute. The Mom and Dad-to-Be aren't finding out the sex, but I have the sweetest vintage tea set I would love to give them if I could!! (Wondering what I'm hoping for?!)

Have you ever planned a baby shower? Did you play those awful shower games like Guess-the-Melted-Candy-Bar-in-the-Diaper game?
