Chikaustin was looking a little droopy.  So I spent the past day giving ‘ole chikaustin a face lift.  She’s got a new banner, new items in the sidebar and… new items in the Etsy shop!

That’s right friends, go ahead have a look around the shop.  The shelves are kind of dusty, just overlook the mess.  There are boxes in the corner of things still to list.  Sorry.  No peeking.  I promised sugar cookie baking today so I couldn’t spend all day working in the shop.

Vintage Hand Embroidered Beauty

This dress is one of my FAVORITE finds lately.  It’s a vintage beauty.  All hand embroidered.  I wouldn’t dare cut into it to make a little girl’s dress.  That would be a travesty.  Nope.  She’ll stay just as she is and hopefully find her way to a new home.

And if you don’t know what to wear this sort of dress with… rock it with a pair of cowboy boots!  I saw this exact same look on a local Austin musician in the paper earlier this week.  Sittin’ on the porch steps.  Strummin’ her guitar.  Very Austin style!

Building Blocks

I also threw in a few vintage toys that I’ve collected over the past year.  They were beginning to remind me of the movie Toy Story and feeling left out so I had to find them a new home.  I’m a huge fan of vintage blocks and we have them in piles all over the place.  I love to spell out cute words and phrases and put them on top of the piano.  How about ‘Happy Holidays.’

Love and Peace.

    I’m loving how your blog is looking at the moment. I’m glad you’re feeling fresh and vibrant, and back into “being” in this space.
    Oh, that purple dress is so pretty – fantastic colour.
    Take care, Ellie

    I tried to comment on peeking out but blogger was being funky and then reader failed. GRRR! Such is my luck…

    glad to have you back
