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!!

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,

Ugly Duckling

Thrifting, I found this.

That with a little fabric and trim ( and glitter spray)

turned into this

With the inside looking like this.

Voila, Hallah's junk trunk complete!

What have you salvaged today??

XOXO, Sonya

What does a 13-year old boy want for his birthday? Plaid flannel shirts, of course. These are Boone's new favorite clothing item. I hit the jackpot when I stopped in at my local thrift store, Snowline Hospice (a.k.a. HotSpice) and found 7 plaid flannel shirts outside on the 'fill a bag for a dollar' rack. Nevertheless the boys were thrilled with the 'party favor', and I, thrilled with my crazy bargain huntress skills.

What does a 15-year old boy want for his birthday? Yarn of course. Yarn. Oh yeah, yarn.
Hey, did I mention yarn? (oh, and a cell phone.) Cole can't crochet enough. Beanies and headbands are his specialties.

What do I want for my birthing day? (a reason for my sister and I to give each other a gift to celebrate our pains and joys of birth.) Another dancing, twirly, square-dancing, fluffy slip. I have 3, a black, pink and white one.What does one woman do with a collection of twirling slips? Stash them under your bed, display them on the wall, use them as curtains, the possibilities are endless. What do I do with such nonsense?Well my daughters wear them more often than not and when everyone is at school.........

I put them on and dance around the yard as I listen to ABBA.
