I Love Cold Things

This is the newest page in an art journal swap I am doing. Not having air conditioning is making me love all things cold. I love that little eskimo girl.

The Newest Pixiepoo Custom

Meet Ponyo Bubblemint. She is Very Vicky I gave a new face-up and new hairs to.

I really love the color mint. I think that is why I love my Simply Peppermint blythe doll so much. Anyway I thought mint would be a perfect contrast to Ponyo's hair.

Vintage Finds of the Day

Today I had a great day at my little thrift store.

Look at this haul! I collect vintage cameras so I was very excited to add a fold out camera to the collection.

These vintage measuring cups will look so cute perched on my windowsill.

This is the cutest owl clock in the world. It was still ticking when I picked it off the shelf. I was so happy to find this.

Cutest Owl Clock Ever


I was drawn to this 70's portrait of a little boy. It was 50 cents and it is a actual painting so I bought it. I like his sweet innocent eyes.

70's Portrait

Last night we got to know our neighbors a little better. My neighbor is a plant whisperer. She owns many, many, many plants. Seriously her house is full of plants. It's almost a greenhouse. I love it. When I told her I liked succulents she went crazy a brought me over a whole bunch. People are so nice in this little town. So here is my own little succulent garden.

Custom Blythe Roombox

After creating a roombox for last custom. I was contacted to make a roombox in navy and white. I added a few pops of burnt orange for fun.

Here is Bear to show you around the place.

Bear Inside of the Roombox

This is the window room. There is a tiny lady bug on one of the leaves in the window scene.

I made a little vintage trunk too.

In the Window Room

This is the photo. I made the tiny little mixed pieces.

On the bottom of the box I added a little vintage flair to it.

Bear is sulking because she doesn't get to keep the roombox.

She will get over it. I hope.

Chirp Chirp Chirp

Sorry for the chirping crickets. I have recently moved to a new little town and I have busily been unpacking and trying to get a new routine around here.

Unpacking

It's strange, I'm kind of dealing with some culture shock as well. I came from a mid sized town and this town has nothing but the essentials. Plus EVERYONE in this little town owns an ATV. It's kind of a big deal around here. I have only ever been on a ATV once my whole life....so hopefully nobody wants to kick me out of town for not having one. haha.

Anyway, I managed to finish a small project I have been meaning to do. I found this huge frame at thrift store. It was an icky gold color. I spray painted the frame green, added some chicken wire inside the frame, and it is now a clip board.

I think it turned out kind of cute.
