My favorite old Dutch goat cart, I bought it for my husband (He is dutch) for are anniversary! I found it at great little antique store in California! It was a splurge but totally worth it! Love it for every season!

My fun thing to collect is the vintage Halloween postcards and Halloween glittered mini pails! Love it!

Ok so I just looked at the girl who one! She had almost the same Idea As me!!!! Bummer! She did hand made flowers out of paper and also did a vintage window! What are the chances!!! At least I wasn't far off the mark of what they would want in a winner!!

I forgot to tell you about my favorite place Dear lizzy's in Alpine, It is a cute shabby chic store and bistro!! Love it and the cupcakes are to die for!

Me and my sister! Yummy cupcakes!!!

Here was the pictures of my entry for the Jennie Bowlin Contest! I thought they were too cute! I did not win or make it to the top 3! I am sad! I Felt I had a chance!! I did not even make it to the top 14 because she contacted the top 14 to see blogs and gallery's. I was not contacted, What a bummer!
Always such a disappointment, that is why i normally do not enter contest!! Makes you wonder if they open all of the attachments they receive or do they go by names first! The winner pages are cute check it out for yourself on www,jenniebowlin.com blog

On another note, I hope all of you out there do not get this horrible cold that is going around!! I got it on Friday night and Saturday I felt aw full!! I got over it quick but now my family has it and my Husband has been sick for days!!!! You know men!!! So I hope for health for you all!!!
