WISH

I wish you the BEST year yet in 2013!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 



Woody....

NOT from Toy Story....BUT from the Tommy Hilfiger ads a few years ago....and images from the web...like this....


AND then I spotted this one outside a gas station and the quest for the woody began....
 I went onto Craigslist (too expensive and not white - I wanted white and white only) So onto Ebay I went....put in a few bids on one semi-local (Indiana) and the reserve was never met....I KNEW this was my dreamy vintage flea market car....SO I kept looking....and found this GORGEOUS baby....

Ha came from New Jersey.....and I LOVE him!! He's been to the Jersey Shore and the Hamptons (that's my kinda car)....

 He was supposed to make his way here via transport RIGHT when Sandy hit....


 It took a lil longer but Woody arrived safely....made his debut in the holiday card this year....

Can't wait for flea season so I can take him to my venues.....I think anyone with a vintage spirit will LOVE him (in fact I've already had offers from locals to buy him)
Caio!

WIWW A year of OUTTAKES!!!

So I've been participating in WIWW for a few years now....and my lil photog gets tired of taking my pics some days SO I need to spice it up for her!

Stockholm Inn

I've hear about this restaurant but honestly not had any inclination to go....as it's Sweedish food (which to me equates bland - I LOVE italian, mexican, greek) BUT I decided can't judge until I go myself....SO we went on Christmas morning....OMG, it was MAGICAL!! We pull up and here's the first things my eyes fall on....

 REAL LIVE reindeer on Christmas morning!!! With elf handlers! 

We went inside and Santa and Mrs. Claus were there to take photos with the kids (as you know, I rarely put pics of my kids here - some things are to remain private)...WOW - reindeers, santa - I was won over INSTANTLY!! 

I ordered the fresh squeezed strawberry orange juice - DELISH!! Tart and sweet and fresh! 

And just when I didn't think it could get any better - there were cute lil grandpa carolers....they gave my lil guy jingle bells to jingle along to their guitars and singing!! 

These last pics would seem weird to the rest of the world (BUT not us bloggers)....these were in the bathroom....

NO attention to detail was missed....I LOVE the  pop of red paint, the mural and the sweet light - these were in every stall....

In case you're wondering, I did not try the sweedish pancakes....my daughter ordered them and they looked too "raw" for me...I had the blueberry pancakes, a side of soft cooked bacon (which RAWKED!! It was thick and cooked to perfection).

When I looked up the restaurant before I wrote this post, I took tis from the website:


World famous people visit here
 Dinah Shore included our recipe in her famous cook book for Kaldolmar, after enjoying it during her visit to Rockford.  Mickey Rooney most recently stopped in for an order of “Swedes”, Dr. Timothy Johnsonof ABC …and of course; one of our investors, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick fame, is often seen here.

A day in the life....

This was a LONG fast week - if that makes any kinda sense! The holiday changed the weeks dynamic!! Here is my week in iphone pics...

Christmas Eve morning (outfit deets in previous post)

Fresh squeezed strawberry orange juice (tomorrow's post)

Christmas morning....Santa came


No traditional mantle this year So I hung out stocking on a vintage chrome coat rack

My new steak knives - FUN and WHIMSICAL!! 

Cute display at Maurices....

New shoes - Yay or nay? I'm pretty sure I LOVE them! Super cute and fun with a skirt, fab with leggings and rawkin with shorts....

Charms for my new christmas necklace.....I wanted something big, pearl-ish, that can clip on and off and real (silver with pearls) BUT haven't found that...I returned to the jewelry store the necklace was purchased at and they only had faux charms that were 25.00 - I KNEW I could make mine for less!! AND I have a variety!!

Sunrise on the way to work one EARLY morning 

I mustache you a question....LOL I couldn't help myself!!

Pedi - Black polish with silver tips
