Vendors and Crafters Alike: This Post is for YOU

Source

Are you a vendor or seller of your fabulous crafts?

I’m launching a new photo blog this summer and plan to celebrate the new site with a BIG facebook bash on my photo facebook fan page!  We’ll have contest, play games, and giveaway fun prizes.

Here’s where you come in………

 

I’m looking for fabulous vendors to donate goodies for the facebook bash. You’ll be featured on my NEW photo blog (site is still under construction), my photo facebook fan page, as well as the fan page for this blog ALL for FREE (well in exchange for your product).  :o)

I’m hoping to host the party at the beginning of July and would like to start gathering goodies asap so I can start promoting the prizes and photograph items (if need be)!

If you’re a crafter and you’re just starting to toy with the idea of selling your items this would be a great chance to get your name out there! You don’t need a big fancy schmancy site to be a vendor just a great product and an e-mail I can reach you at!

Please contact me at domesticprincessintraining(at)gmail(dot)com if you’re interested in participating! In your e-mail let me know what you would like to offer along with a link to you’re your site (if you have one).

 

Thrift Store Treasures

I haven’t done a thrift store treasure post in forever! It really does seems like forever but it’s been more like 4 months….who’s counting though right?

Okay maybe I’m counting but I’ve MISSED it sooooo much!

Work has been crazy and throw a wedding in the mix and I really didn’t have time OR the space for anymore thrifty treasures. Okay maybe it’s more about the space. I can ALWAYS make time for thrifting.

I was going through withdrawals!
When I start dreaming about thrift stores I know it’s been far too long. Yes I often dream about thrifitng…..don’t hate!

I thought I would just pop in, take a look around and leave empty handed. You know, just get a quick fix. I was sure I was capable of hitting up GW and leaving empty handed…….no problem!

Well as you can see from the pictures below I failed!  

 

 The yellow scarf on the left is hand knitted and the white beauty on the right is a brand spanking new Fossil scarf! LOVE them!

 

Brand new Egyptian cotton throw. I’m a sucker for anything yellow!

 

Love this top! It’s very vintage stewardess, don’t cha think? I thought it would look cute with my favorite black headband (shown in the pic above), big peal studs, black Bermuda shorts, and my black Target sandals. 

 

 I had to make sure I bought something for Kent……you know to kind of sweeten the whole deal.

He actually doesn’t mind when I shop at GW but we’re going though this whole declutter and organize EVERYTHING faze right now and I wasn’t too sure that he would be thrilled that I was buying more stuff.

My planned worked! The second I told him I bought him a couple shirts he brightened right up! ;o)

My total this trip: $20.00!

Japanese Botanical Gardens – Stayacation

We haven't been on our official honeymoon yet BUT we did take some time off work after the wedding to relax a bit.

The sad thing is that our week of relaxation turned into a week of laundry, cleaning, thank you note writing, wedding slide show making, wedding picture editing, oh yeah and work somehow snuck in there a bit. I couldn’t help myself!

I got a little upset the last few days of our “staycation”. The week had flown by and we had yet to do anything for ourselves. I felt like we got the shaft! The wedding was crazy busy, and now our little staycataion was quickly coming to an end.

We had to right our wrong so we headed out for an afternoon romp around the Japanese Gardens…..

No work
No laundry
No to do list

JUST US!

 

  

If you live in the DFW area the Japanese Gardens are a MUST! Trust me you’ll want to thank me after you go! I’ve been out there 4 times this year and I’m still not tired of it!

 

I took a million pictures of the Koi. Not only are they beautiful they’re funny too! Who would have thought fish could be funny. They do this little pouty mouth thing that makes you want to give them all your money.

 

Doesn’t this little guy look like I just stole his puppy?
I found myself apologizing to him but I had no idea why.

 

Wish I could tell you the name of this flower but I can’t. It sure is pretty though!

 

 

This stopped me in my tracks!
I loved how the sun was shining through the trees. It almost has a dreamy look to it.

 

Yet another pretty flower I can’t tell you the name of.

Warning: Don’t look at the next picture for too long
especially if you have motion sickness!

 

I think this is kind of neat but I can only look at it for a few seconds.

How I did this: I focused on the end of the tunnel, bumped my shutter speed down, and zoomed in while I snapped the shot.  A little trippy but neat.

 

We stayed at the Japanese Gardens until they kicked us out and ended our night with a big feast at Pappadeaux. Pappadeaux is our favorite restaurant and where we met 11 years ago.

While our little staycataion ended way too soon I was happy that we took some time for ourselves; even if it was just a day.
