Long time, no blog :(

Between work, moving, and the holidays I haven't had very much time to sit and collect my thoughts let alone blog. However, its a new year, and one of my goals is to take more time to blog! Also, we're instating craft nights! So many exciting new things!
The biggest of which has been...
Andrew and I got our own apartment!!!....and I might even go so far as to say that its getting pretty darn cute.
Its a work in progress, but its definitely feeling like home <3

 

 

Best vintage chair find ever,  handmade owl&hedgehog pillows, and our budding record collection!

 

Owlsowlsowlssss. And an interesting lil gnome ;)

 

I will be doing all my cooking/baking in this new pretty kitchen :) Fulllll of my Merry Mushroom collection!

 

Prettiest waffle-maker around!

 Just a few sneak peeks for those of you who haven't seen it in person! More to come when we get more of our decorations put up....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Blog neglect

So we're in harvest and I've been ridiculously busy...almost no time for having a life. Let alone blogging...

Even so, I'm still getting into the holiday spirit. Making holiday recipes, trying to wear warm clothes even though the weathers not quite right, and recently...preparing for halloween!

I couldn't really decide what I wanted to dress up as. I was leaning towards Nancy Botwin from Weeds (curly hair, little dress, wedges, mexican baby doll in a carrier, iced coffee, etc) but I'm not sure everyone would get it, and I'm not brunette anymore.

So, I think I decided on another iconic Batman villain...Poison Ivy. I did Harley Quinn a few years ago and that was a super fun costume, so this should be good too. Can't wait...just need to find a green leotard or bodysuit (like those cute american apparel ones), some long gloves, some crafty strategically placed leaves, leggings or tights, tall boots, and do my hair all big and curly and red and I'm good to go :)

We'll be going to a halloween cover show in chico on friday then maybe a party in paradise on actual Halloween.

UPDATE: This is how that costume turned out btw :)

Excited for Autumn!

I love everything about Autumn.

Here are a few of my favorites <3

Leaves changing color and the 

smell in the air after the rain.

 

Holidays and yummy holiday recipes:

Rain and everything about it. 

Driving in the rain. 

Umbrellas and boots.

Tea, cider, and yummy 

seasonal flavored coffee:

Candles and a warm fire <3

Leggings and sweaters and 

boots and hats and scarves!

Veggie soup! All kinds. But my favorite is 

homemade vegetable dumpling, so yummy!

Fall is just so crisp and cozy 

and cuddly and yummy. 

Definitely my favorite season.

Bring it on!

Xx, Cierra

Thrify finds!

 

So many awesome treasures this weekend!

1) Amazing Polaroid Automatic 330 Land Camera in great condition 

with the flash bulb and even extra bulbs, tools, and a UV filter. Great find for $1!

2)Funky vintage vinyl green placemats

3)All kinds of great vintage fabric I love the flowers and mushrooms!

4)Gorgeous white vintage dress. I'll have to alter the top and take out the shoulder pads (hah), 

but I lovelovelove the waistline and button detail!

Also, I told my PopPop I have been collecting old cameras and he brought out boxes and boxes of gorgeous cameras. I was drooling over his collection. Amazing!
And he wants to "keep it in the family" so that sounds good for me ;) haha

Thrifty finds!

Came across a few cute treasures this last week. 1)Vintage "Home Sweet Home" wooden sign 2)The cutest, greenest wafflemaker/grill from the 60's 3)Handmade apron 4)These amazing heels that I saw one day and went back to buy and they had already been taken. So I searched the internet high and low for weeks to find...with no luck. Until this week. At a vintage sale. In my size. What are the chances...seriously?

Craft show

 

 

 The craft sale was really slow. Chico needs a better indie crafting community. Either way, my booth...I must say...was pretty dang cute!
