New Items in My Etsy Shop This Weekend!



This is one of my favorite new things!!! The T-Shirt Scarf. So very comfortable and versatile.  I made one with twisted flowers (above) and then one with ruffle trim (below).







Fun new head bands with ric rac flowers. One on a gorgeous brown velvet band and the other on a gross grain band. Love them both!

This one I made today and it just came together while I was watching Mansfield Park.

Some fun with photo shop on this one.

Summer fun!



So at the beginning of the month I took all the kids to UT for lots of time with their cousins before our family had our reunion....there are 4 boys and 4 girls in my family so we have a reunion with just our little families all together every other year. This year we went to UT to my mom and dads! On our way we stayed in Las Vegas. This is what we did first! The kids love the pool at Aunt Cathy's and Uncle Jeff's.







If you remember the Jack and Jill hat from a previous post....this is where the original pattern is sold.

Isn't the store adorable?
I LOVE trims and I am really into ric rac right now. Check out the SIZE of these!!! They were like an inch wide!

So, I went to Gracie Lou's to get the Jack and Jill pattern and guess what? They were all SOLD OUT!!!!  Well, my sister says the gal behind the counter "you know my sister came all the way from Cali to get this pattern?!" Next thing I know they call the office down the way and the pattern designer her self is hand delivering a pattern to ME! She was so dang sweet....she has a name, Mona

She was so great to take a picture with me! Thanks Mona!!!



Took the kids and some of their cousins to the water park there in town. Can I tell you it was only $4 bucks to get in??? What a deal!



Next day, we went to Provo and shopped at a really cute boutique. It was originally a women's gym and it is still carved in the top of the bldg. Anyway,they turned it into a great shop literally  filled to bursting!

This is my cami and her cousin Taylor....you will see her in the future sometime playing on the Olympic Volley Ball Team. She is that good. 


My Gavin waiting for his burger at the Creamery on 9th. Was great food!
We got a ton of ice creams...I think like 13? for only $15!


Provo LDS Temple. Beautiful views there!

I read about an old Pharmacy that still has a Soda Fountain in my Country Living Mag I think it was in the June Issue? Anyway, it is in Springville, UT and it's called S.O.S. in case you want to visit. Since they were featured, they have had people come from all over.....even from VA! 

So very reasonably priced! We are talkin about a$1buck for each person to have a float! You can't beat that or their friendly service!
Do you know what she is? The sweetest Soda Jerk ever! 

My sister Linda and me!
        
All of our kids plus two other cousins.

If you are ever in Provo....You MUST visit this place!






Fun at the lake!
