Tiny Toadstool has Arrived!

 After drooling over all of the gorgeous berets from Tiny Toadstool for months, my mom surprised me with the funds to order one for my birthday in April. Shan Shan, the amazing designer/blogger/ fashion guru was just a delight to correspond with! The poor girl must be bombarded with orders, and I was told from the beginning it would take approx. 4 months to get my adorable little beret:) Well low and behold, a little over 5 months later (yes, very suspenseful time) my little blush pink/cafe/cream beret arrived!!!

It was like getting a tiny precious baby delivered by the stork. I was sooooo excited and wear it all the time. It came JUST in time for the fall weather and I am ever so happy:)


Thank you so much Shan Shan!!! It's more lovelier than I could imagine.

Darcy ILLUSTRATED ( by 8 year olds)

Every Friday I look forward to my Jr. Lollipop (ages 8-12) Art Club at Lollipop Art Lounge. Last week was the very first class of the fall season and I decided to give a lesson on drawing from life and the benefits of keeping a sketchbook for this purpose. ( and yes this is totally a case of practice what you preach...which I don't...oops.)

We did some blind contour activities, (which brought on a bout of hilarious giggles) and then to end the lesson they did their very first life drawing. The model...me of course! They did such an awesome job and  I think they captured my Dorothy Perkins lemon top and vintage, mint green earrings with the outmost pizzaz:)

Penny and Velvet

I purchased this adorable vintage, velvet, bow headband from a quaint little antique store in Niagara-on-the-Lake. It's so large and floppy and a gorgeous crushed navy. Penny wanted to join in on the fun! Little does she know I'm in the works of getting her her very own little hat from Etsy:)

 

Cotton Candy...or....

I finally finished that darn Cotton Candy piece. I was playing around with the colors and kinda liked the lime-aide  look of the 2nd. Although, if you know me, I'm a true cotton candy-er at heart.
