Sitting pretty....
I used the last bit of my birthday money on this pretty half doll I found on Ebay! Isn't she gorgeous?! I think I may be starting a new collection. (as if I don't have enough collections already!) She looks right at home sitting in my favorite teacup!

My dear parents have come for a visit. They are enjoying seeing sweet baby Dylan whom they have not seen since he was a tiny newborn! I can hardly believe he is 6 months old already! My sweet mama brought me some wonderful birthday presents. She made me this beautiful organizer with pockets made from the prettiest fabrics!



She also gave my some vintage rhinestone pieces,
this sweet vintage pillowcase with bluebirds that belonged to her grandmother,
some more little goodies including this lovely vintage button card,
a vintage pillow cover in a wonderful ticking rose print that belonged to her mother

and a sweet little purse with some spending money tucked inside!
We even did some antique shopping last weekend and I brought my camera, but I was having to much fun to stop and take photos of the pretty booths.  We will definitely do some more antiquing while she is here, so maybe next time I will get some photos to share with you.

What a sweetie pie #3 is, sugar! Of course, that little organizer stole my heart away. I'll have to make one for myself or a giveaway. Just adorable for stashing away little things.

Ah Michelle, Dylan is a little heartbreaker. SO beautiful! Enjoy your mama's visit and I'm sure that she is thrilled to be there with all her sweet g-children. She brought you such pretty things.
I really love your new banner!
