mikey on the merry-go-round...

after we were finished at the flea market.. we went to the mall. mikey got some chinese food.. he loves chinese food! and he went on the merry go round. even though he looks really serious in the pic.. i know he loved it cause he threw a fit when it was time to leave!

flea market finds...

we went to the kane county flea market in st charles on sunday. it was such a nice day! the weather was great for being outside. every time i go i mean to take pics.. but i get so busy looking.. i forget all about it.. and the few times i do.. the dealers look intimidating and i get shy to ask.. but here is what i bought..
i saw tons more things i wanted but i was trying to be good and not spend alot.
i got hello kitty pens, a crystal rhinestone bobby pin, vintage hat with sequins and millinery in a beautiful pink, vintage millinery flowers, vintage silk ribbon work rose, vintage grosgrain ribbons, vintage buttons and a vintage heart pin cushion.
really pretty things that i am very happy with!
hopefully we'll go one more time this year!

soap nuts

i am always trying to find more natural chemical free ways to clean our home.. so i saw these soap nuts on amazon. you put them in the little sack and throw it in your wash.. and they say your clothes come out clean and soft. will try these soon and let you know what i think! i also got the liquid version (water from saoking nuts). i am washing a load in this rght now.. so we'll see how they come out!

apple...is coming home too!

-Ooh, look, a palm tree! Let's play 90210! I'll play Kelly!
