Cow Eggs...

so this probably comes as no surprise...

i *love* cows...

between the ranch, my home and the logo for my shop you think i would have about all the cows i can take...

but i think i need the picture up above...sigh...

although i think the cow could use a couple extra bales of hay...she's looking a little thin...

{wished i looked a little thin...not going to happen when all i crave is reese's peanut butter eggs... and don't even get me started with the mini eggs...sigh}

oh, and i have a passion for old farm pumps...

i think the two i have might be a little to big for this though...

so this prairie girl is on the hunt for a smaller pump...

and see that little beauty of a cow in the window...

yep, on the hunt...

i planned on including some photos of how i've included cows and farm pumps into my decorating...

but i would rather lift the reese's egg to my face than my camera right now...

sorry...

and i didn't think you wanted to see the mess that is littering my house right now...

but, i would rather sit with my bag of mini eggs than clean...

sorry...

13 Strawberries...

okay....

you all know that i'm a natural kind of girl....

i *love* the muted tones that i find here on the prairie...

bring them into my home....and sigh...pure bliss...

but.....

oh.my.goodness.girls...

we have a family wedding coming up the first of may...

{congrats candis and hyrum!}

so i have weddings on my mind...

do you ever wish that you could do over...

with the same guy of course....{love you sweetheart}

yes, i just called my cowboy sweetheart...darling...snookums...

hhmmm....{my birthday is coming...so....}

sweetie pie...

*i love you*

:0)

anyways...i've been thinking of our wedding...which was pretty...way back then...in the 90's...sheesh...

maybe just maybe he would go for doing the whole renewing vows kind of thing this year...

you know we'll have been married 13 years...my lucky number so why not?!?....

i really, really *love* this...

oh.my.

love the whole retro feel of this...


i mean you seriously can't go wrong with homemade mini pies and old fashioned coca cola classic can you?!?





and don't even get me started on the strawberries in the retro blue strainers....

i don't think i could pull off the pearls but i'm sure i could find some vintage style necklace to top off that ruffled dress...

i know....it is so out of my range of colors...but for one day...

i better see if the husband will agree....

husband...

darling...

sweetie...

*chirp* *chirp* *chirp*

hhhmmm...i think one wedding and this prairie girl might have been to much for someone... ;0)

Whoot, Whoot!!

anyways...

hi....

i've missed you...

i know i promised an update in the shop this past weekend...

sorry....

do you ever just have one of those days where all you want to do is sit and stare?.....

where it even seems like an ordeal to switch t.v. channels...{no? sigh}

and now i have to switch channels because my lovely olympics are over...sigh....*i miss you*

so yea...one of those weekends... not just one day...and who the heck knows where monday went to so...

here we are....

hi....

some updates for you:


vintage clock faces...sigh...swoon...{please don't ask why in the world i've decided to sell them..i think i might cry...let's just say someone needs some money for their cow herd again} ;0)




french grain sacks...

these lovelies are like getting two in one...two graphics on opposite panels....oh you can bet one is staying on the farm with me...





and a princess haircut update:

yes, darling daughter you are still a princess..

a pixie princess but a princess none the less...

have no idea what she was trying to tell her mother here...

it usually goes something like this....

i'm a cowboy, i'm a cowboy...

but somehow her lips don't quite fit those famous words...



maybe just: i'm a boy, i'm a boy....

poor mom...

i need a dr. pepper...



at least i'm able to put a flower in her hair...

well this one time i was able to...

sigh...did i mention i need a dr. pepper...

So It Begins...

the conversation went a little something like this....

little one...whatever have you done...

i'm pretty mom...and my little smile and head tilt makes it so you won't be mad at me for this...

mom, you really shouldn't have tried curling up with that book you have wanted to read for so long now...

you know i wanted to have a princess haircut...

little one...shouldn't you have waited to go visit grandma for that kind of haircut...

nope....me can do it...mom...

yes....little one....you have done it....
