Crazy for lace!

I've always been a sucker for lace. Steve and I took a trip to so. Cal and cleaned out his grandmas house. Everywhere, I mean everywhere there was lace. On the couches, on the beds, nightstands, tables everywhere you looked there was lace. I brought it home, washed it and hung it out to dry. A beautiful sight indeed!! The lace is amazing. With tears in my eyes I am packing it up and sending it to Steves mom to enjoy, so sad to see it go.

Messenger bag I added a piece of thrifted vintage lace to .( no it's not Ya ya's lace) A fun summer bag! I'm just here lovin the lace!

This is such a fun video of Karl Lagerfeld and the house of Chanel. There is a whole video series. Watch them! You'll love it!

Spring Fling!

Holi Day

I love these images of the Holi Day in India. They are celebrating color, the seasons, triumph of good over evil, LOVE, and the sweetness of relationship.
I think we should all incorporate this into our traditions!

The colors alone puts a smile on my face!!

For the LOVE of Boots!!!

Giving the feet some love!!!

How cute are these?? The tops flip down to a nice camo reveal.
Check out the beadwork on these bad boys. So fun, I couldn't resist. Thanks Steve!

Totally adorable rainboots from Hospice. What ? New ? Yes! Yes! Yes! my lovely darlings! Eat your heart out, you just are not visiting your local thriftshop often enough.
(Look how cute the lace-up is on the backside of the boot!)

What? Another pair from Hospice! I tell you, I don't know why I would ever set foot in a mall.

A little too high, and a couple of scuffs but I have embraced them as my own!
Go thrifting people, and show the feet some LOVE!!

Valentine Tea

We had a great time at our valentine Tea on Saturday. Thanks everyone for coming!!!

The food was delicious and dainty.

Here we are, the hostesses, when it was all over, tired and pink!


How cute Cheree and Gayle look in their proper attire (gloves included).

Rio trying to be the hostess with the mostess, not realizing that this was Oskars job!

St. Lucia Day

I am trying to keep up on all of the holiday traditions that I've started. I sometimes wonder, what was I thinking.

Rio and Hallah made us some cinnamon buns for our Swedish St Lucia Day. They were delicious! They love this tradition. ( We even found a wreath for Hallahs doll at hospice.) If you look closely you can see the candles in their wreaths. They dont wear these wreaths long because they are so itchy.

Enjoying traditions

Peace and love,

Gingerbread Houses

Tis the season

for our traditional gingerbread house making.

We upgraded to stained glass windows this year.

I cut out a new shape this year, the kids were very resistant. They like tradition.

Hallah even made a river with a bridge flowing thru the backyard.

This should be a requirement for Christmas holiday team building. I used to let the kids go wild, anything goes. But in my wisdom, I've decided it's too much work to have a shoddy lookin' shack. So now I make them plan it out a bit.

Just as much gets eaten as goes onto the house!

Enjoying Christmas time!

Peace,

Sonya

Snow Days (snow week)!!!!!!

I love California!

When it snows, the state shuts down! With kids in 3 different schools, we had 2, 3, and 5, snow days! This is our last snow day. (we're tired of sledding at this point!)

Boones famous funnel cakes!What is a snow day without hot cocoa!

The view from my bed!

Not a sled to be found in this place, so we're making do, sledding down on snowboards and boogie boards!

You would think that with almost a week of being snowed in, we would have time to crochet, sew and just get nice and rested. Wrong..... we just play, play, sled, eat, watch movies, go moonlight sledding, come in and make cookies at 11:oo p.m. We then pop some corn and watch more movies til the wee hours of the morning. Then wake up the next morning--totally exhausted.

I must say, this is the most beautiful place in the world!!!

Wishing you many snowdays!!!

Peace and Snow,

Sonya
