Daisy knew she had ventured too far into the ocean. She just wasn't feeling her Aqua Fit class anymore. The instructors were loud and her bathing cap leaked. Onto better things she thought.

I think we can finally say Spring is here. There is a minor blip on it's way...a chilly Tuesday with a potential for snow BUT every other day surrounding that 2 degree day is bird chirpingly wonderful!<br />
<br />
I am saying goodbye to my parka. To my black pants. To the my wooly socks. To my scarves and mitts. To all my greys. To all my blahs. Until next year...<br />
<br />
I am saying hello to all my dresses, paitently awaiting their turn. To my bright, pastel wardrobe. To frozen yogurt dessert nights. To running OUTSIDE. To all the Ahhhs that spring has to offer. Today I am Spring.<br />

I saw it at an antique market one summer and thought...wow this is stunning. It brought me back to when I was 8 or 9 and I forced my mom to buy this mint green dinnerware set from the superstore that consisted of 6 plates and 6 giant bowls. I didn't know it at the time, but it was jadite repo...not even the fire king stuff that came back after Martha Stewart did her thang...just really cheap ( but really beautiful) jadite repo. Over the years, every piece broke except for a few bowls. ( did I mention how cheap they were?)<br />
<br />
When I spotted that cup + saucer set and looked in to it a bit more, I knew at that moment I was hooked. I just wish I had started back when I first fell for it, as prices are getting higher all the time and pieces are becoming harder to find. But what 9 year old collects dishes?!<br />
<br />
One afternoon while hunting for jadite at an antique store in Niagara on the Lake, I came across my first piece of pyrex. A little butterprint nesting bowl. It was $10 ( I was at a Antique store). The great thing about it was, butterprint was actually really easy to come by AND resonably priced.<br />
<br />
So it begun...my collection pales in comparison to most avid Pyrex collectors, but I've set some limits for myself, because lets me honest, pyrex is a big space taker upper. My dream is to have a wall of turquoise and pink and white ( so I am tryng to stick to turquoise butterprint, Balloon, Gooseberry, White Daisy and Snowflake. However if I stumble across a promotional piece or a rare breed like cloverberry, you better believe I'll make room on my shelf!) and another wall of my mint jadite.<br />
<br />
Oh and then there is my Lefton collection. THAT is probably my most fun to collect and I have spent almost nothing on it. I have been gifted some pieces from friends who are avid thrifters, I have also thrifted a lot because I KNOW for a fact that if a smiley, blue faced Miss Priss creamer came into the shop, they'd stick it with all the other cat figurines. I found my red rose cabbage condiment dish for $2.99 at Value Village. I also found my Puppy Pal jam jar ( with spoon) for $16 at a flea market. My little Dainty Miss shaker? $1.00 at a goodwill. ( found by that expert thrifter friend of mine) and the list continues...<br />

Sometimes I see friends, sometimes I watch movies, sometimes I sit on the couch for 20 min...basically all I have is SOME TIME. Not a lot, only some. I am by no way complaining, because I love what I do. It just happens to be what I do 85% of the time.<br />
<br />
Tea With Gladys is doing very well, hence the busy-ness. I have found time to train and race my 10th half marathon this September (with a pretty decent time of 1:46:33---average training!), I have illustrated, visted my parents once at the end of August, made Cotton Candy Halloween costume out of 3 bags of cotton balls, celebrated Penny's 2nd birthday, all whilst workin 6 days a week, 8 hours a day. Can you tell I like to be busy?!? Oh and I also chopped all my hair off. It was a long time coming--- Here are some snapshots of my ongoings + what not. Think of this as an illustration, outfit, DIY, everything under the sink kind of post.<br />

When I came across this dress on etsy, it was in my cart and in my hands before I knew it. It fit perfectly and I have to stop the urge to wear it everyday.<br />

<br />
Well in the last month business has been steadily growing and growing and <a href="http://www.teawithgladys.com/">Tea With Gladys</a> is flourishing! I've had so much support and positive feedback it just makes me feel even stronger about my life decision to open up my own shop!<br />
<br />
In further news I bought a new dress, a new Camera ( Happy Anniversary Canon!) and as you can see, I need a new tripod. After delicately placing my new cam on top of boxes and display items, I managed to snap these of my new dress. What you can't see is my inner soul shaking at the thought of my new Canon crashing down from my shoddy make shift heights.<br />
<br />
The shoot didn't last too long to say the least.<br />
<br />
BUT how adorable is this little number? It's from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ShopExile">Exile Vintage.</a>..one of my fav online vintage shops. They seem to always have what I'm looking for!<br />

It was my first time ordering from this amazing online boutique and I was extremely happy with everything. The dress is so well made and it is the perfect frock to add to my spring collection!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It has a litttle western influence, but I tried to make it as 60's pop as I could! I was just in THAT kind of mood. </div>

You don't even know how many dresses I have stocked up for this nice weather. This little gem of a red dress is one of them! I've had this in my wardrobe for quite sometime, and finally the weather cooperated with my need for sleeveless dresses and minimal layers aka no layers. (unless I'm layering a sundress over a bathing suit)<br />

<br />
Tea with Gladys is doing well and that is where most of my time has been spent. So sorry for the lack of posts but I've been busy hosting tea parties and getting ready for my Grand Opening this Saturday!<br />
<br />
I managed to take a little time to start my new series: Greeting Gals. They will be available in prints as well as greeting cards and tags!<br />

I've had this dress forever ( literally about 1 year) and have not worn it. When I was getting ready for the shoot, I literally removed the age old price tag. When I initially purchased it from H&M I had no occasion to wear it to. I just thought it was stunning and it was on sale! It reminded me of something my grandmother would have worn, so how fitting was is it that I wore it in these first photos of my shop:)<br />
<br />
Do any of you have a piece in your wardrobe that was purchased with someone else in mind?<br />

I opened my store, got my 4th tattoo, made an appointment for my 5th, realized that...oh my lan...I am my own boss, booked my first 'tea party' on my first day (!!!!) and my new purse broke.<br />
<br />
I really don't care about the last thing b/c it was cheap and I knew it when I bought it. But of course it had to break whilst I was running for the bus with my arms loaded to the brim with a mountain of stuff I was bringing to the store.<br />
<br />
Here is a little sneek peek of some on goings at tea with gladys this week:)<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sibling-Rivalry/102859986536671?fref=ts">Sibling Rivalry</a> is produced and directed by Denis and has an amazing looking and talented group of actors & crew. If you'd like to take a peek at the teaser trailer, click <a href="http://vimeo.com/59248485">here!</a><br />
<br />
Also one of my really good friends <a href="https://twitter.com/Sarah__Bell">Sarah Bell</a> is one of the main actors in the film. On that note, you must check out the hilarious web based series called <a href="http://vimeo.com/39883193">Brittni in the City,</a> created by Sarah and Denis. My goodness I have talented friends:)<br />
<br />
If you'd like to support Denis's movie, they have a current <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/sibling-rivalry-festival-run">indiegogo fundraiser</a> going on that you can support them through.<br />

If you're curious as to what tea with gladys is all about you can visit <a href="http://teawithgladys.com./">teawithgladys.com.</a><br />

Biz cards came in this week. Window vinyl went up. I also stayed up until 1am sewing bunting banners. It's all coming together:)<br />

I have been SO busy it's unreal! My days have been filled with painting walls & furniture, living in ikea and searching the web for adorable things to sell! tea with gladys is coming along nicely and I should be open in less than two weeks!!<br />
<br />
If you'd like to peruse the ALMOST finished website, please do! <a href="http://www.teawithgladys.com/">www.teawithgladys.com</a><br />
<br />
On another note I managed to find some down time to do a little online shopping. I took advantage of Modcloth's 70% off cabin fever sale and scored some amazing pieces as usual!<br />
<br />
This is the Through the Arras Dress! I AM IN LOVE. It is such a great feeling to see a dress online and say " that looks like it would be a great fit..." and then you receive it and it fits like a glove! It is excellent quality, has a zipper, snap buttons and a clasp. Talk about feeling snuggly and secure. I paired it with my thrifted suede buckled heels and one of my favorite accessories, my mint lady tie!<br />
<br />
I also bought these vintage cat eye glasses ( putting my own perscription in) from a darling little store called Petite et Jolis.<br />
<br />
It feels so nice to put real clothes on again. Most days I am stuck in paint covered leggings and old t-shirts. i dream of warmer, dress filled days:)<br />

I bought myself a dress from <a href="http://www.dearcreatures.com/">Dear Creatures</a> to treat myself to a year well done!<br />
<br />
I had been eying this dress all fall and finally made it mine! This is the wonderful Madeline dress. Super comfortable, super swing, super adorable. If I had my druthers I would wear Dear Creatures every day!<br />

Remember I said in my last post that I had some life altering news that was so huge it needed its own post? Here it is! ( and you will soon find out why I have been so absent as of late)<br />
<br />
I AM OPENING MY VERY OWN BOUTIQUE/CHILDREN'S ART STUDIO.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you were to ask me 5 years ago what my dream job would be, it would be one of these three things:<br />
<br />
1) to be a children's book illustrator ( totally still attainable)<br />
2) to be a voice actor...primarily doing recordings for the self-serve machines of a grocery store. "please remove your bags and thanks for shopping at...________"<br />
3) to own a vinatge shop, but also incorporating other retail, and children somehow, and art, and cuteness.<br />
<br />
After I received news that the current children's art studio I work at was closing b/c the owners are relocating out of the country, things just began to fall into place.<br />
<br />
Tea With Gladys has been a vintage online store I have managed since 2006 ( first on ebay and now on Etsy), and I always knew I wanted to take it to another level. For those that don't know the story, TWG is named after my late grandmother Gladys, whom was always ready to tell stories from the past, usually shared over a cup of tea.<br />
<br />
Now in 2013, I am opening up an actual storefront in downtown Oakville. It is an artisan's boutique ( lots of amazing handmade items from local artists, illustrators and designers) a vintage boutique, a children's art studio ( will be teaching and hosting workshops for young girls) and I will also be offering bithday "TEA" parties. Guests will get to create one of five projects, chit chat over cupakes and 'tea' ( pink lemonade) and leave with adorable loot and pictures from a photobooth I have set up in the studio.<br />
<br />
It's been EXTREMELY busy as I have been setting up, buying , painting painting and more painting. I've added some sneak peek pics of the progress thus far. I've been doing a lot of thrifting for display tables/ ect. and have found some amazing items! So stay tuned to all my entreprenurial endeavors and check us out on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tea-With-Gladys/86843829910"> FACEBOOK:)</a><br />

I just got back from a glorious holiday season spent with my family in NB. It was so good to see everyone and spend quality time with those that I love most. I left the airport as a weepy traveller as I have no clue when I will get to see my family again:(<br />
<br />
I have some major big news that many of my friends/aquaintances know already, however I am going to make a separate and very detailed post about this later on in the week. It is such life altering news that it needs its own dedicated post. And just to be clear--- no I am not getting married and no I am not having a baby.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span">For today, an outfit post featuring a dress I bought prior to the holidays from <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/">Modcloth</a>. I took these photos after my hometown got three major storms in the span of a week and a half. There is literally 50cm of snow on the ground... These were taken right after Christmas so I was still feeling super festive, hence the overload of red. I love the color, what can I say?

This dress is so comfty and so wondefully patterned I really can't say enough about it. It will make a beautiful transition into the warmer months, yet I can get by pairing it with tights and boots in the winter months. I purchased these red Hunter boots last year and let me tell you...if you live in Canada and have to put up with Canadian winters GET THESE. Your feet will be forever dry. </div>

I brought out the ole' galaxy skirt and paired it with this amazingly bright, SUPER soft sweater. To make this little cableknit/ angora like number even more a hit...IT HAS A BOW.<br />

Also I bought it from H&M kids...size 10-12yrs. And people don't believe me when I say I stopped growing in grade 6. And yes my feet are even 5.5. Destined to be Pre-Teen forever.<br />

<br />
Ok this post will be quick, yet quite newsworthy. I have been up to my eyeballs/occipital lobe in work. It's that cheerful, wonderful time of year that I love but never ceases to be quiet.<br />
<br />
I have been basically living off of boiled eggs, spelt cereal & tomatoes because I haven't had time to cook a proper meal in weeks. And trust me, the jumbo shrimp and ground turkey in my freezer I bought over a week ago is screaming at me to be made into a meal.<br />
<br />
ok in point form--why am I so busy:<br />
<br />
1. Work is busy. 8, 10, even 12 hour shifts. Not complaining as I LOVE my job, but it just makes it slightly difficult to manage everything else in my life. ( hey laundry after 4 weeks! yup that happened)<br />
<br />
2. I am opening up my own boutique in T-minus 18 days....like an actual store front that people walk into and say.." oh my lan that is so cute may I purchase this?" Trust me, starting a new business is not about just taking a cute key and putting into the lock and twisting and pushing the nicely framed door and then exclaiming " oh look it's my business all set up and ready for me!" --More on this later as I will be going into MUCH more detail about my new life endeavor. A post focused JUST on this awaits.<br />
<br />
3. It's christmas time...flights to book, people to shop for, eBay listings to get up at 2am for to make sure you win. ( note: I won)<br />
<br />
4. I am apart of the<a href="http://movies-and-makers.blogspot.ca/"> Movies and Makers</a> Holiday arts and craft show THIS saturday ( the 15th) at the Fox Theatre in Toronto...in the beaches. So on top of everything else...I have been preparing like mad for this, stitching my little soul out...getting things printed...and I still don't feel prepared. ( just a lot of little things I usually make a checklist for, but have come to realized my mental checklist was lost weeks ago and I can't seem to find that slip of mental paper anywhere...<br />
<br />
<br />
I also fly home on the 19th so until then I will not be breathing.<br />
<br />
On that note...check out some little tidbits of things I will be selling this weekend!<br />

how to use an umbrella. Her fears of someone raining on her parade were
finally put to rest.<br />

It was almost a year ago that <a href="http://darcyillustrations.blogspot.ca/2012/01/sad-postbut-only-little-and-only-once.html">THIS</a> happened. So I began to do things such as <a href="http://darcyillustrations.blogspot.ca/2012/01/lil-animal-diy.html">THIS. </a><br />
<br />
But she has grown into such a gorgeous little girl. Long ago are the days when she resembled a hairy, yet loveable rat.<br />
