Scenes From The Weekend

{kicked off the weekend by enjoying the best store bought gelato ever!}

 Had a pretty great weekend. Enjoyed a surprisingly sunny Saturday with a trip to an estate sale by my house. You know how I love those! The house just so happened to belong to a man that used to teach dance at the elementary school I attended. So random. Anyway, here's a peak into some other things that went on this weekend...

Puff Paint Peacock Pin

You may have seen this peacock brooch in its original state here.  I was organizing my craft box and came across some puff paint.  My creative wheels started turning so I decided to revamp my pin.  This brooch was originally a sample.  The stones were never set.  All I did was fill in the little holes with different shades of paint and voilà there you have it!

Turban Time

{Vintage: turban, F21:ring,clutch, necklace, Express: jacket, Hot Kiss: jeans, Payless: shoes}

 Well, it’s definitely the time of year when a spring fever creeps up. Saturday was a sunny day, but there was still a little bit of a chill in the air.  Luckily the turban I bought at an estate sale a few months back came in handy.  I was surprised at how warm it kept me.  Plus I really liked the touch of old school glamour it lent to the outfit.

Estate Sale.

My sister-in-law gave me the heads up on an estate sale walking distance from my house.  Instead of cleaning my closet like I intended (it didn't really take much convincing) I decided to check it out.  I am so happy I did!  The home was that of the late Blair Delmonico a fashion, jewelry and accessory designer.  You definitely could tell she was one glamorous woman.  There were so many things to choose from.  It was almost overwhelming.  I ended up getting a hard cover Audrey Hepburn coffee table book, a stack of coral beaded bracelets, a pair of dangley Swarovski crystal earrings, a peacock brooch, a Missoni silk scarf, another silk scarf, a hard gold tone clutch, and a turban (i may never actually wear it, but it was too fab and for only $2 I couldn't pass it up).  Ok, so how much do you think I paid for all these goodies???  Go ahead...guess!

Fine I'll tell you.  I spent $14.00!!  Hello!  How crazy is that!?  I think they are going to have another one in October.  I'll keep you guys posted.
