The Bow Dress!

Oh my LANNNNN! I recently came across one of the CUTEST little shops on Etsy called Kee Boutique. It's super adorable, well made, affordable clothing that any girl would love. I literally wanted to buy 10 things but narrowed it down to 2 pieces. ( such a toughy)

Anyhoo, I wore the coral, 1950's inspired bow printed dress today. It was so light and airy! Super comfortable and  super ADORBS.

I also purchased their cropped lace peter pan collar sleeveless top that I have so many options for! The outfit possibilities are virtually ENDLESS!!!

Here is the little number. I even wore this on my last day of summer camps with the kids....That's right I made it through the day sans paint splatters or soils. ( thanks to the help of my florescent fruit patterned apron)

Vacation!

Sorry for the HUGE gap in postings but I recently took a long awaited and well deserved trip home to the East Coast. Although there wasn't much R&R involved! We drove to a bevy of locations all across the Maratimes and basically didn't stop for a single moment.

This was Taylor's second time coming home with me so I had lots to show him---especially since it was summer! Our adventures included Alma in Fundy ( yippee sticky buns!), the Hopewell Rocks, Saint John to visit one of my oldest and bestest friends, a slew of anique shops ( my jadite collection grows!!) Prince Edward Island ( we stayed in a beach side cottage for 3 nights :) which of course included Cavendish, Charlottetown Summerside and Kensington and we ended the visit off with a trip to Tree Go in Mactaquac.

We had such a fantabulous time. I did miss Penny a lot ( don't worry I had someone very special looking after her while we were out. although she developed a new habit of taking my sock balls out of their sock basket and spreading them around the apt. I seriously come home to 5-6 sock balls a day)

One day Winifred lost her favorite bow. Then she absent mindedly left the kettle boiling for the whole day. Then she completely forgot to pick up the parsnips her mother needed for that evening's stew.

What a day for poor, sweet Winifred, a daydreamer at heart and in mind.

ps: If you'd like to look like Winifred visit flapper girl to get your very own Lady Tie!

I'm going through this major shift dress phase. One evening as I feverently searched for my next 60's dress purchase, I came across this lovely little gem.

1) I loved the color
2) I loved the lace
3) before I knew it, the dress was in my etsy cart and I had promptly paid for it via paypal

The seller was SUPER kind and sweet and sent along with the dress, a lovely personal thank you note on a vintage CAT CARD. So thoughtful and sweet! Everyone should swing by DoodleVintage for some great finds, great prices and a wonderful seller:)
