Because the farmers market starts next week

A girl's got to be ready. 

But there is something I should tell you, it still barely gets above 50 around here. So Even thought I"ll be there, I surely won't be wearing this. I can dream can't I?

we get sunshine, then we get snow

And, I'm kind of okay with that. Nothing can stop the warmth from coming eventually.

So right now, I realized, my kids caught another cold, and that's okay. Because it's wet outside and we can watch movies. Also, strawberries are in season somewhere. I can tell by the low, low price of a  pint. So I think I might do some early canning. There is nothing quite like a full years stash of homemade strawberry jam. Especially in December. 

Tomorrow we might try to go pick up a clawfoot tub for our second bathroom! My sister found it at an antique store close by. It's a really good price.:) What are you thinking you might like to do this weekend?

 

Besides making a cape for my first born, I think I need to make this for the little girl. 

What do you think of this bike?

Hot dog melts.

I want to eat breakfast here tomorrow.

happy weekend.

We the Penney's have been battling little sicknesses over here. Two days good, then two more bad, but we are finally getting sleep again now that the night time coughs have begun to disappear. I hope that this is the end of winter sickness now that spring has finally sprung. I'm ready to get outside for some sunshine and picnicing!
I'm also hunting for kids warm weather clothing. Specifically shoes.  I'm not a huge lover of crocs, but I think my kids have ended up with the target knock-offs every year since birth. What shoes do you guys love and always go back to for your bambinos? I'm even tempted to get these for myself. What do you think?

reality strikes

We are getting tons of snow. And it's only 10 degrees right now. So this is an extremely practical outfit. Including the sunglasses, so I don't go blind.
I'd like to go sledding with the kids again, but 10 degrees is really cold. We might just watch movies and drink hot cocoa instead.
I actually like this weather, but I feel so bad for my chickens. :( I know they are covered in down, but I still want to bring them inside and wrap them in blankets.

Here are some links. Hope you like them.

Anything with a name like this deserves a try right?
Love these little pieces.
Does anyone like donuts? Have a look at these.
I'm planning to try this binky out this time around.
We are going on a date tonight! To a wonderful gourmet friend owned french restaurant.
Um yes, I'll be making this tomorrow.

Happy weekend!

p.s. I really want to knit that hat.

for a snowy Friday

I always feel so wonderfully regal wearing a maxi dress. No matter how much laundry I'm doing.

Happy weekend!

I need to plan ahead

I Love this scarf from Zara. I would love to get my hands on it. And a pair of these Biviels too.

Have a good weekend!!

p.s. Did you know how much I like mushrooms?

a cape

For these rainy days. I'll convince myself it's a segway into spring. And it will make me smile till may.

Here are a few fun things I liked this week.

The minimalist chooses his 25 favorites.
Amaretto hot chocolate? I know yes.
H& M sells home goods! But unfortunately only over seas. So we just get to look.

Have a good weekend!

my baby in the window

He's playing with school paraphernalia. And being the regular rascal that he is.

We are planning to lay low inside. We like to walk around town when we can, but its gotten cold outside again. After a slight rise in temperature these past few weeks, 20 degrees feels really cold again. It is really cold I guess. Cold enough to freeze the chickens eggs before we collect them. :/ Hoping it warms up again soon.

comfort

I'm so glad that it is fashionably acceptable to wear maxi dresses.
I live in them. They are very forgiving, they feel like pajamas, and they make me feel like I am living in a Jane Austen story.

That makes them and automatic win in my book.

We are just chilling out this weekend. I might attempt some sewing. And if I actually get anything completed, I'll be sure to share them.

Here are some things you might, or might not have fun looking at.

Please tell me you've heard of this. It's what we had for dinner last night.
I can think of a lot of people that would look great in these.
I need every one of these on my couch.
This app is darling.
Foxes are the new owls.

happy weekend. xoxo

cause I really like clogs, and these are grey.

I don't think this sweater would actually lay nicely over these sleeves, but the dress is so cute, and the sweater is so cute. I couldn't get rid of either. I know you understand.

We are locking someone's hair this weekend.
We're going to a birthday party, And visiting our favorite yarn shop!
But before I really sign off for the weekend, I wanted to share a few more links with you.

I really want to eat this.
What a cute little kitchen. Maybe One day I'll own a smeg.
I want this print.
This might make me more of a Walmart fan.
And last but not least. I think these would be really fun to make.

Have a great weekend!

leather florets

I'll never get bored of stripes. Or leather, or flowers. And yes, those are jeggings. You know they are comfortable.

We are going to hear some live music at our local coffee shop tonight, and Phoebe is having a tiny little birthday party tomorrow morning. Other than that we will be relaxing at home. Trying out our new blue-ray DVD player and TV combo. (yes, we are so very cool) What do you have planned for the weekend?

still a bit early

I know, but I can't helping thinking about what I'd like to be wearing come spring. When I can walk around my beautiful town with my kidlets in the stroller.

they finally did it

I am a moccasin girl. I have been for a very long time. Being part native (a very small part) made it seem natural. But, really I just think they are awesome. And so versatile! I bought my first authentic pair about 13 years ago at a pow wow in my home town. They are hand made by ya tribe whose name I forget, but they have been wonderful. They had to downfalls though. I cannot wear them year round because they are soft soled, and not warm enough in the winter. I've been holding out on getting myself another pair. Because I don't like the hard plastic soles you used to get on some pairs, and still, just one layer of leather is no where close to getting me through an Idaho winter. Then, J.Crew decided to sell these.


Yes, they have a rubber sole. Yes they are lined with shearling. And, yes they are on my Christmas list. Because I would wear them. Everyday. Like this.

corduroy on babies

I went into a night time sewing frenzy this weekend. And made these pants for Mr. D. Most of the time my sewing projects never make it to finish. And if they do, the chances of them looking different than originally planned, are very high. These came out like I wanted them.
He has pretty much been wearing them ever since.

babies like to walk outside too

I am shopping shoes for the baby. He is a confident walker of 2'3". And Robeez just don't cut it for the cold ground outside.
I think these, found on little fashion gallery are quite fabulous.

But here is a pretty good looking version from Old navy for half the cost.

I might have to go pick up a pair.

We are going to pick apples and press cider with the kids tomorrow. This is what I'd love to wear.

What are your plan for this weekend?

oh right here are a couple fun links I found this week

One day I'll go to this.

Check out all this wonderful goodness.

Are these the most outrageous shoes you've even see?
