Vetiver

Sunday after opening and closing at the shop the sweetie and I met up with some friends to grab some grubbage and catch the Vetiver show at the Bottle Tree.
at the brewery I got the yummy Sex & the City Martini

the music was so lovely, enjoyable easy listening

As usual. work has consumed most of my time but I have managed to squeeze in many dinner gatherings, a Vetiver show, thrifting adventure, and hang time.

while plundering about the thrift store I had a goal in mind to find the perfect pair of worn out light denim to recreate a similar pair to the pictured above examples
Tomorrow I’m shooting in Birmingham with Savannah for her store and will post those soon, have a pleasant Monday evening.

Lately//part One

My little stray cat Lady friend, Miss kitty, has been acting anything but friendly the past couple weeks.  Being an indoor/outdoor cat she has been spending a lot of time outside, lonely, but never without food, and for a second I was afraid she would never return back to the loving Lady she had become. Lo and Behold! I stayed in town last night and spent this morning cuddling with the little princess and I t.h.i.n.k. she just needed her Mommah around to know she’s still welcome around these parts. I guess the pregnancy scare was just that a scare but seeing as how she’s never been to a vet, who knows??

Spotted these fabulous 60s platform clogs on Nasty Gal, I really just want them to put on a shelf for admiring on a daily bases.

Elisa Nalin, a stylist living in Paris has the coolest shoe collection and super adorable style herself.  If I’m not careful this is what my place could look like working at a shoe shop and all.

Bottle Works

3//7//09
Saturday after mayhem at the shoe shop I drove to meet my honey in Auburn ((1.5 hours)) hopped in his vehicle to drive another ((1.5 hours)) and made it in ATL at 10:30 their time.  
When we arrived I was stunned at the aura of coolness surrounding Adrienne & Emil’s downtown loft.  Once an old bottling factor their 3-story renovated loft home was just to much for me to handle. I oohhh and awwed over her staircase, newly painted antique, &&& everything else on the walls & floors!

that night/
We walked a couple of blocks to a nearby bar that was also in in renovated building where I experienced a Turkey SlawWhich. Yum! We sure did eat some yummy grub while in Atlanta, sure am looking forward to more options. 

the middle to end ((??)) stages of a recent DIY project, the eye popping yellow has me rethinking my coffee table :))

I have been buzzing to my friends the past couple of days how awesome this place was and now I hope all ((yous)) can see why.  We have been scouring CraigsList and other resources for similar living spaces, and boy are there a lot to be found. 
the next days my life will consist of W/or/k. straight 7 days in a ROW. Spring sale or some crap 
thankX you two for letting me and Dp crash in the super secret cubby! 

up UP up

good news//
The ebay store is up and running once again. I am a little slow announcing this but I’m pretty sure no one is going to chastise me since I am currently living out of a suitcase in order to work my bum off and make some dough. 
When I went to check my ebay account I noticed someone familiar on the homepage, twice!

hope all you ladies are having a fantastic weekend!
