Cold Weather Wishing For Wednesday
Well it is funny writing this post about cold weather when it is about 80 degrees outside but this morning it felt closer to 50 degrees. It won't be long though till that cold stays on all day long. So it got me thinking about cardigans, tights, and warm skirts and long boots. Also I have been finding a million, well close to that number, of amazing recipes to try out this fall on Pinterest. I cannot tell you how much I adore that website! I went to our local discount grocer and they had a hold stock-pile of canned pumpkin! I was in heaven. I even found pumpkin coffee. I had to use all restrain to not go home and fix a cup of pumpkin coffee and bake like a crazy person some awesome pumpkin goodies. Let's not even get started on my itching to go apple picking. We drove by the orchard the other day and I so wanted to pull in and start grabbing apples. It must be the start of school. After the first day of school I all of a sudden become in full countdown to fall. It is one of my favorite holidays. It is not too hot but not too cold. I just hope it doesn't snow on Halloween like it has the past two years but we won't think about that for another few weeks. So here are some things that I am wishing for as the days start to get colder.

Fourth of July is Almost Upon Us!
Hello everyone! I am so sorry I don't have a Treasure Thursday. I have been horribly sick the past few days and I did make an attempt to go treasure hunting yesterday but since I wasn't really into it I came out empty handed. I found a few things but nothing amazing like last week. That is how it goes when it comes to treasure hunting. Sometimes you make out like a bandit and others not so much. Anywho I thought I would get you all pumped up for the big holiday that is getting closer at an alarmingly fast rate.
I was looking around Pinterest, which I find myself doing everyday, and came across this darling little dress for my ankle-bitter.I saw the name and thought it would be perfect for my little Luci. It even looks like her. I don't know if I could swallow the price though. If it was for me it would not be an issue but my little ankle-biter gets stains on her just being in same room as something messy.

I saw these little Fourth of July clips on Etsy.com and thought they would looks cute with a nice little swing dress. I cute little touch to spruce up a plain pair of shoes.
I could see you pairing these shoe clips with this adorable dress from ModCloth.com. If you have not checked out this website you have too because they have everything you could want.
I could so wear this dress to a evening party and fireworks celebration. Some fancy shindig where I could rock out with this outfit. I don't like the socks with the shoes, maybe something more strappy or dressier.
Now if I had the body to wear this outfit I would totally rock it at a Fourth of July Picnic. Unfortunely my ankle-bitter is now 6 years old and I still have not got back to my prebaby weight. I am going to get close soon I hope. I have been working at it. Maybe this outfit can be inspiration.
This is the outfit to wear when hanging out at the pool or the beach this Fourth of July holiday. How awesome is this swimsuit?
Well I hope these items start to get you ready for the big sha-bang this coming next week. Do you guys having any plans for the big holiday?

Birthday Wishing for Wednesday
As you read in yesterdays post my birthday is next month. I usually never really have something on my birthday wish. My mother usually takes us to our favorite shop, T.J.Maxx and I will pick out some nice things, usually jewelery or a handbag, and then I go sit in the car and she picks out what she wants to buy. Then we get home and she wraps it and gives it to me at my birthday dinner. My mother always begs and begs me for a birthday wishlist and I always tell her "I don't know what I want." This year since it is such an important birthday I feel I should put in the effort to pick out some items that I would like for my birthday. There are some items that I really really would like for my birthday but I know that will not happen. I will include those last.
Gift Number #1.
If you read my Treasure Thursday last week you discovered my love for head vases. It started very randomly after seeing one at my favorite antique mall. Now I have about six of them. I would have more but they can be very costly and I try to limit my purchases to around $20. I would love to have a custom vase done of me! That would really be a treasured item. It cost about $100 so it will probably remain a birthday wish for awhile.
Gift #2.
This is another passion of my, old cameras. I have always loved cameras. Even as a child I carried around an old Fisherprice camera. I went on to college to study photography but then changed to art history. A lot of good either one did me. Whenever I see a neat one I have to pick it up. I actually found one very similar that works but I like how this includes EVERYTHING. I could have so much fun with this. I even found a company that supplies old film. I need to pick some film up for my Polaroid camera while I am at it. I miss using that camera. We need to go back to film processing. I loved taking pictures and waiting to get them developed and seeing how they came out. It was always so much fun to be surprised at the results.
Gift #3.
I love this pendant. It has The King on one side and a legend on the other side. How much better can you get?
Gift #4.
I adore this pug bag. You can just imagine the wisdom this little guy could give you. I know I always go to my Frenchy for advice. She gives me those puppy dog eyes like his and I always feel so much better.
Gift #5.
Gift #6.
This is a perfect summer dress. One of my favorite things about summer is going to a drive-in. It is so 1950's. One of my favorite scenes in the movie Grease is when they are in the drive-in. I am very fortunate that I live near a few of them. My daughter and her schoolmate actually have scheduled to go to see a movie at the drive-in hopefully this weekend. How fitting would it be to go wearing this adorable dress?
My dream gifts. These are wishes for my birthday that I know won't happen for this years birthday but hopefully one in the near future. A girl can always dream right?
Dream Gift #1.
I was doing a random search for places in New Jersey for a possible move location and I came across this house. There is a pink house for sale down the road from us and my daughter always begs for us to buy it. I have no interest in living in the area where my mom lives. It is far to country for me. Plus I miss being by water so I am looking to move close to the shore. Hence the possible move to NJ. What I like most about this house and why I started to have an interest in it apart from the obvious outside color was that it has an addition that could be used as a home business which leads me to my next item.
Dream Gift #2.
My dream gift would be to open a store. I have dreamed about this for years and years but have never acted on it. It is because of this dream that I started this blog to later feature my items in my shop. My shop would be a vintage/ retro remix clothing store. I would sell items that are either vintage or made to look vintage in the 1940's to 1950's era. These pictures are my inspiration for my store. Funny how pink keeps poping up?
Dream Gift #3.
This is my ultimate dream car. If I got this for my birthday I think I would faint and need to be taken to the hospital. I love the summer because it means classic car shows. I can sit out in my backyard and watch all these amazing cars go by. I would love one just like this but with either white or pink colored interior. I would love one and put my store logo on it and drive around town. How cool would that be?
So there is my wishlist! It was actually kind of hard to pick and choose. It could have actually been much long but didn't want you to go through all that. I'll let you know if any of it comes true.

So sorry to tell my daughter but before her my closet was so much nicer. Today's Wishing for Wednesday is all about a new summer wardrobe. How many of you would love to dream of a new wardrobe this summer?
