Hearts & Glasses & Red heads

So, I have been tardy with posts in the last week and a half but with semi-good reason. I haven't been taking many pics as I dyed my hair and it turned out terribly!!! I didn't want to do any posts until I got it fixed (my older sis bleached it before dyeing it red this time...unlike last time and viola!!! Exactly the color I wanted!)
As a result of being absent I missed posting on Valentine's Day AND my b'day (b'day pics to follow) Shame on me.

For Valentine's day The Mr. bought me this delightful cardigan from Forever 21, it KILLS me with delight! I've worn it almost every day since! The sweater made me think of these old Oliver People's frame vignette's so I thought I'd share.

Hope you had a lovely V-day and President's Day to boot!





Lovies and Lucky Coppery Pennies,

PS. My b'day was this last Sat and I had high hopes of doing a giveaway in honor of it....I think I'm just going to do it anyway even if it will be uber late!!!

PPS. Oh, I know what else I was going to say, I actually won a blog giveaway myself (never happened before!!!) from The Berkley Blog of this loverly embroidery kit.

I'm quite excited as I have never won anything and they had the cutest idea for enteries, here's the poem I submitted.

Anyhoo, my computer is acting weird and underlining things for no reason and I don't know how to fix it so I bid you all adieu!

So the morning after my party with family and friends (which went super late) we got up (entirely too early) packed and drove to the coast. Lovely Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo...aaahhhh! The Big Sis and Brother-in-law and The Kidlet's Cousin accompanied us and we had a swell time playing in the surf (ahaha, get it, swell, surf, ocean waves....swell...eh heh heh...never mind) getting sandy, reading, drawing (I wrote thank you notes) shopping, eating (Thank you Firestone Grill!!!)

The birthday fairies were kind to me and when we went to UO. I found the most delightful items on clearance!!! It was pretty awesome! I've never been so happy with my wardrobe as I currently am right now!!!

The weather reports were forcasting showers all day Sat. but when we arrived we found it to be perfect coastal weather, chilly-ish in the shade warm in the sun with a few drifty clouds. Then it said the next day would be raining all day but it proved to be just an overcast cloudy day that only rained later when we left for home (icky to drive in)

I had a splendid time and it turned out to be a marvelous weekend and a wonderful and unforgettable birthday.

If you ever make it to San Luis be sure to check out their Urban Outfitters, Booboo Records, and the stationary shop Paper Sky.....you'll die at the beauty (and some of the prices...sniffles) but you can find some things that you can afford as well as some great ideas for things you can make yourself.

Hope your weekend was equally lovely! What did you do?

Lovies and lumberjacks,

I'm off tot he coast with my dearyloos for my b'day (I firmly believein dragging out b'day celebrations for as long as possible.)

Last night was a wee get together with family and friends....

I am so overwhelmingly blessed.

I will post more later but at least here you can see my b'day dress. (I ran out of time to hem it so it had scraggly threads hanging down all evening, but you get the idea. I didn't get the other elephant sewed on either, ....basically, it's a work in progress.

Have a delightful weekend filled with all the loveliness you can handle.

Lovies and loud noises,
