my dad is the cutest ever!
here he is with one of his painted gourds... :D 
today i spent most of the day painting and working on new projects... 

i have to keep most of the new projects i am working on secret for just a little bit longer.... *sigh*.
so, i thought it would be fun to share a few *amazing* online vintage stores (for those of you who, like me, love to thrift shop but stay home waywaywayyy too much ;)).
goodnight... :D xoxo. elsie

I hate to sound like the barrer of bad news when I leave you a comment; Miss Shrock past away on Sunday. My mom called me on the way to work, which made for a tearful drive to Branson.
