Gosh where has the time gone! Last I remember it was still warm enough around here that we were going swimming three times a week, then school started and before you know it ITS NOVEMBER!!! We here at CD have been having a great time just being us. We’ve been taking it easy and hanging out. For me that’s usually always when inspiration strikes me. One of the my more recent inspirations was going to an actual pumpkin patch! Being a city girl, that was a huge thrill for me! It was fun to drive 40 mins out of the city and geek out with my family! The farm was huge and the color palette alone was a sight to be seen! Can’t wait to use those colors in my holiday goodies!

Us geeking out!

Another recent fun event was my little lady’s school fall festival. I get soo excited when I see things through a five year old’s eyes! The littlest things become magical and seeing her eyes light up at the mention of bobbing for apples just makes me want to do the same! I like the Summer season, but I think I LOVE San Francisco’s Indian Summer/Fall more!

And a special thanks to all my loyal custmers who haven’t left me despite my web stores troubles! I promise a much easier ( and one that WILL work ) store to come soon!!!

Sorry for the graphic title, but that’s what my beautiful five year old yelled out to me last week and I thought it was so funny I almost did barf on her! For the last couple weeks I have been battling a sinus infection and a stomach flu. Now usually everyone else gets sick while I stay healthy and take care of everyone else. Well this time I got super sick and everyone else stayed healthy. In this neck of the woods lately it seems like if anyone sneezes everyone around thinks “Oh gosh they have the swine flu!” me included! My doctor assured me I did not have swine flu and demanded that I stop reading everything on WebMD.com! I’m feeling more like myself now and for the record, I did not throw up on anyone this time around!

How lucky am I that just as I’m feeling human again I have this to look forward too!!!


Made by the very beautiful and talented Veronica Darling!! I am floored! Seriously, I am way excited and already have outfits set up for it! Check out Veronica‘s blog she just made 100 outfits in one years time and if that’s not enough must of them were made with upcycled materials!!!

As promised here’s part two to my thrifting adventure in the Midwest!

Okay its black, its linen, it has a pockets! Oh and did I mention the back of the dress is AWESOME! This dress is super cute, easy to wash and way comfy!

YES, its another peter pan collar! This great dress has a great print and again pockets! This is another one that I still haven’t figured out what I will refashion it into, but I’m sure inspiration will come.

I was heart broken when I realized this amazing dress what made out of polyester! I love LOVE this dress but am allergic to polyester. I still couldn’t pass it up and bought in hopes of finding it a good home with someone who can appreciate such a great dress! If this might sound like you let me know!

Um I think the only way to describe this dress is “Semi-Sailor” don’t you agree! Love the dress just not my size! If your a 4 petite and have great taste let me know!

I almost left without purchasing this little delight! It cost me 10 dollars and I only had 12 left! But I’m glad I bought it after all. Handmade with amazing craftsmanship and still in awesome condition. PLUS I like buying things that have been made for other people, its like keeping the dream alive!

I like leather bags especially old leather bags! Well this one came as a treat to me. I know its hard to see but its actually a Coach bag! Its a vintage Coach messenger bag! I haven’t tried to figure out when it was made but I found two ticket stubs for a movie that cost 1.50 for the matinee movie on June 8th.

All in all I had great time on vacation and can’t believe I came home with such great treasures! Thanks for reading!
