The Queen, part II

when i showed darling my post friday of all the hats... she gave me a horrified look.  the kind of look that says "why in the WORLD would you do something like that?!".  she would NEVER let anyone see her being a goof-ball~oh, that girl.... so serious!
anyway, i didn't let that look deter me from showing you the last of my grandma's hat collection, so here we go...
 peacock blue velvet, tulle netting, FEATHERS!! i told ya my gram was one foxy lady! you're welcome for NOT showing you my nose, freckles, dark under-eye circles and make-up-less-face, i will apologize now for the following photo's!

 the freckles are courtesy of our vacation... it was well worth it!  (yes, i did wear my SPF 70 everyday on my face) 

 wee~wee

 the one is a little grey and furry, i feel like i have a dead mouse on my head...

 the silk turban has always been my favorite and good Lord, why didn't i photoshop out the dark circles under my eyes... oh yeah, 'cause i STILL haven't taught myself how to use it!  my face was still puffy and sore from my gum surgery, hence NO make up on my face... that and pure laziness.

 the sun was very bright the day i took these it blew out all the details of this lovely cream velvet hat. i don't know how to fix that either, i did have a giant piece of poster board in front of the curtain.
i am just full of excuses for my poor photography skills...
Oh, i am sooooooooooooo fancy!

and if a hat isn't your thing (you girls with big hair), there is always a scarf!

by the way, my mister is also amazed at the lengths i will go to for a blog post!
I hope you've enjoyed grandma's hats, i've got to go fluff my couch, learn photoshop, put on some concealer and schedule a rhinoplasty...

Random Friday...

Is anyone else slacking on the whole blogging thing this summer?  I just don't want to bore you with things like this: I went to my eye Dr. today, she said I had pointy eyeballs....(true story).  We're having a great summer, it's just that something interesting isn't happening every day, ya know?  I've saved all my "good stuff" for today, so get ready!!

1. I saw 2 wild animals at Lake Michigan recently:
a gorilla
 and a zebra

2. I swear, this is NOT my fault!!  This is her own "style"...

3. I bought these for my etsy shop but fell in love after painting them...
Newly decorated wall in our home coming soon...

4. The Mister bought these for me, just cause he's awesome

5. Don't mess with:

6. A sneak peek at my porch remodel...

7. I have no idea...
anyone else find a microphone in their fridge next to the bloody Mary mix?

8. On July 21st, my Grandma turned 102, yes, you read that correctly 100 AND 2!
This picture was taken last year on her 101st.  I didn't see her this year, she lives in another state.

9. Our FAVORITE meal at our FAVORITE Japanese Steak house
Prawn shrimp with egg yolk batter (i don't know what it is, please don't ruin it for me, i LOVE it!!), grilled zuc's and onions, fried rice, scallops and a Bahama mama! 

10. I just want to make sure EVERYONE knows about the hat drive for the kids in China! Please tweet, facebook, and/or blog about this drive!!  I'm going to make the official cut-off date Oct 31, 2011.  All hats MUST be to me no later than Halloween!!  I'll take NEW hats in ANY child's size: newborn to 15 year old kids.  I'd love you to make one (or 20) but store bought is JUST FINE TOO!!!  If you'd rather make a cash donation, please go to the top of the blog and look to your left for the "Donate" button.  Honestly, even $1 will help!!


Thanks to those of you that have already donated, I can't thank you enough!!
xoxo
