Priscilla's Earthly Delights ~ 1

Every Darling should take a ShoPPing Holiday...and as often as possible. 

{After you take care of bills, of course. 

Priscillas' must put priorities first to indulge in the Delights}

When My Oldest and I were Two peas in the pod of Our humble home, those days would come on Tax Refund and Student Loans. We'd splurge a little, go out to eat, do some treasure hunting, go to the bookstore, or a movie. 

Or maybe even buy the video! 
{oh the excitement of a new video!}. 

Really lets You appreciate the things you do get.  Now a days, I'm lucky enough to be able to do a little more shopping, but the appreciation is still there.

Here are My Treasures for Today's Earthly Delights:



These charming, accidentally discovered dishes. All the way from Rome. I want to try and collect as many pieces as I can to put in My Daughters Make~This~House~A~Home Secret Stash. I have also started one for My two older Sons, and they are based on their favorite colors. 
Pink, Of course, is Hers.

I'm a big fan of Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel, and spotted the Lavender scent at Whole Foods, and just thought "oooohhhhh".
I think it would go really well with French Green Clay 
{I order my clay through Mountain Rose Herbs}

I was also out of my Burts Bees Moisturizing Cream. 
So was Whole Foods. 
I desperately needed something for my parched face and decided on Kiss My Face Honey & Calendula lotion. 
I was skeptical at first, due to having oily skin, 
I have to be careful with the grease factor 
{which is why i love Burts Bees, soaks in quick, with no residue}. 
But Desperation is being Desperate, right?
And besides, I like Kiss My Face. 
Surprise!!! Although it does go on a bit "wetter" than Burts Bees, its soak factor seems to be quicker. Sigh of relief and a wooHoo for that!

Also picked up a few packs of these really pleasant Incense sticks. These are nice when you want a soft to moderate smoke and scent. You're house will love you for it!

Sewing is on my New Additions to the Life's Resume for this year. I've been collecting some vintage patterns since last year. 
I found this on Etsy, thought the Cupcake would like it; 
I was wrong.....She Loved it. 
I'm really looking forward to this one since it will require My MoM to help, from which I will learn, and Cupcake will be there, learning also. Especially since She got Her first sewing machine from Santa this year.

and, a walnut brownie.  

A Sit down Cup of CoFFee~Mystery bOOk~Snack to My Self~Walnut Brownie.

Pink

A Cold and Grey day, 

The Sugar Plums get an unexpected day off of school 

because it was "supposed" to Ice and Sneaux, 

and, No Surprise here ~behind Schedule.

                       So what to do for some chEEring Up?!

Why, Treats~for~My~WishList~ShoPPing! of course.

  

and Thanks to the World Wide Web,

I can do it from Home

while siTTing on My Bum and drinking CoFFee.

and what CoLoR do I chOOse?

Pink!

Not only does it go well with Grey,

         but darling! its so chEEry.... 

 

One (of the Many!) reasons, I want to learn to crochet better,

and also knit, is SLiPPer Socks!

I wear Them constantly, 

I go through Them like most PeoPLe go through Their cell phone minutes.

These Dark Pink Mary Janes are right up there on my Cozy Factor Standards. 

I Love everything about the Look of them.

Now, here's something to chEEr ya right Up!

This exquisite set of Organza PoPPy Flowers.

I am envious of Those that can sit down and 

whip up a Shirt, Skirt, Scarf to aTTach these to!

Oh the Dream....

Any type of chEEry shoPPing requires some JeWeLry.

This necklace is just Delicious. 

Even the name ~ Pink Currants ~ is Delish.

And that Smokey Gunmetal chain, takes it from Little Girl to Saucy Woman.

 

I already have the perfect dress for this 

{see previous blog~ Betty Paige wear}

Need something Spunky Punky to set off those Combat bOOts?

This'll do Ya.

Pink & Orange PiCaSSo Ring.

I really liked the simple design of this belt but the color sets it.

This was the color of My most adored Lipstick in the 80s & 90s.

sigh, I can no longer seem to find it any more. So I shall wear it another way....

Flowers in My Hair, is not a new concept for Me,

while PoPPies are a Life~time favorite of Mine  

from Wizard of Oz  to my Turkish Heritage.

Oriental PoPPies Headband

Its natural, that I would yearn for these Flower Hair Treats.

After all that Bum Sitting and CoFFee Drinking,

searching for New Wishes,

{hey, its REALLY hard to pick some times!} 

it would be so scrumdiliupmtious, to eat some Curry or Lentil soup

from these DragonFly Bowls

I would end the day on a Rose Scented note.

This soap sounds really Heavenly, a combined scent of Rose and Musk.

Seductive MeoW. 

I am, 

Smitten like Eartha Kitten.

PS. The Cute Little Pink Ceramic Deer was Sold.

BLu and CupCake's MiniaTure ViLLaGe

The Miniature ViLLaGe of The Miniature Me's!

I started with a starter set from abc catalog, when We bought Our house in 2000, and I was pregnant with The BLu~man. Then CupCake came along. Over the years, its become a Tradition to let the Miniature Me's add a new piece every year. There's two pieces that were painted by My oldest, mOOndoGGie and BLu~man. There is a Fountain that glows, a Treehouse, a Town Square complete with Cafe and Police Station {in honor of BaBa, otherwise known as The Man}

My favorite is the Vintage Travel Trailer with The Christmas Tree Lot.

I want to own a trailer like that one day.

The kids get totally over the mOOn when its time to set up Town.

And I had beTTer make sure We have fresh baTTeries.

We put down Our fluffly fabric with the GLiTTeR!! specks in them,

set up the ViLLage, and then They get to do some Landscaping.

Next year, it looks like We will be moving to a bigger lot.

This is yet another opportunity for spending time with the kids, family bonding, fun, and paSSing on the Traditions.The Blu~man Loves sitting on the couch by the ViLLage, doing His homework, and The CupCake delights in animating the PeoPLe in Their town.
