yesterday was insanely gorgeous, so my sister and i took a trip to the gardens, which is seriously like a 5 minute drive (we’re so lucky) but we hardly go, shame on us!
amy shawl bombed this lady statue, i think it looks very natural, don’t you?
my intention was to sew while we were there but it didn’t happen, i was so organized and everything!
we did a bit of walking around, i just love how mysterious these gates look.
we went to the antique mall since it’s around the corner from the gardens. it was a great day to look at treasures.
i’m smitten with vintage glass sets like this.
how interesting and unfortunately you can spot me in the mirror, oops.
i want a vintage radio so bad! look at how beautiful these are
this antique mall is a maze and takes a lot of patience to go through, but it’s well worth the time.
these are the amazing pieces that came home with me. i can’t wait to wear them tonight for the new year’s eve show i’m going to!
i will hopefully be posting some big news on sunday regarding the shop. i’ve been working very long hours on my vacation to make sure my goal for Jan. 1st for Tacocat Productions kicks off with a bang and many new products!
see you soon, and happiest of new years!!

here i am again, trying to catch up from the last month’s photos! it’s definitely been a busy december. i wanted to share a few things that have been making me happy, umm, since november? hahaha
i’m addicted to dresses and scored 5 lovlies from etsy for a mere $60! which is amazing for vintage! 
new floss always excites me!!
i bought these amazingly cute coasters for amy and i.
finally cleaned up my jewelry/accessory area! i’m so proud of it and i don’t feel like such a mess anymore! hooray!!
i got this tiny sewing machine at hobby lobby, isn’t it soo sweet!
i’m severly in love with emily martin’s work! it’s whimisical and eccentric, something i always hope to be and be seen as. her etsy shop is filled with so many beauties!
i will try my best to be better about writing. i’ve been greatly busy with ninjacat business. and i’m celebrating my first sale to someone i don’t know! i mean i appreciate every sale i receive from friends but there is something very special about knowing that my creations are being enjoyed by someone i’ve never met.
what’s making you smile these days???

last week i set up at my very first craft fair! it was held at my job and was pretty fun. it was a great experience to learn from and i’m thinking about signing up for another craft fair in the spring.
it was really cool thinking of ways to set up the table. the banner is so very much my style and i’m so happy i could convey that!
i’ve decided to add some of my paintings to my shop, in miniature form. believe me when i say that they were a challenge. i’m used to working on canvas that is 6′ by 4′ and working on like 1/100th of that scale was interesting but really fun!
brooches and necklaces…
the ninjacats eagerly awaited to be taken to their new homes!
sneaky peek at my new ninjacats. they have weapons that attach to the velcro. these ninjas will be available in my shop on January 1st!
using a few of my vintage suitcases turned out great and made packing up a breeze!
i had a lot of fun and definitely will continue to think of ways to spread the ninjacat invasion!
hope you’re having a great week!

anyone who knows me, knows that i have a major girl crush on lovefoxxx from CSS. she’s so magnetic on stage. i love her voice and their music so much. this one here is my most favorite at the moment because it makes me feel rebellious and ready to go for the day! take a listen, you won’t regret it!

here it is, already about to be december and i’m trying to update about october! life is moving by soooo fast. so here are some photos from the last month and a half!
went to colorado to see my parents on october 14th. it was so much fun and the perfect time to go! so beautiful!!!
robot dancing time on the mountain!
with my little brother, matthew, on the coolest rock over looking the valley!
next comes pumpkin carving at my friend’s place! lots of guts a flying that night.
it’s really hard to be graceful in a skirt while working with a pumpkin, but somehow i pulled it off without flashing anyone, go me!
i LOVE jena’s smile in this photo!
this was the first year EVER that amy and i have dressed up for halloween together. we were siamese twins just ripped apart, it was a blast!

while i was at the CSS show, i dressed up as a kitty bandit. this was the only reasonably okay photo i took of my costume though.
soooo, that was october. november started with shows (which you have seen!) and probably one of the best thrifting trips of my life! my guy and i went to the denton mini mall and had a great time treasure hunting. it was made even more fun when i spotted this storm trooper’s helmet.
it was apparently my lucky day for finding great vintage luggage. look at what i scored!
i love round suitcases, so i was estatic when i found two!
so that’s enough for this post, more photos of this wonderful month coming soon!

between oct. 28 to nov. 8 i went to 5 shows! it was magical and so wonderful to experience a lot of music within a short period. it’s been so long since i’ve done that. first up was CSS at the house of blues in dallas on oct. 28. i’m totally in love with lovefoxxx, she’s so sexy and wild on stage. you can tell how much she loves her job!
next, my bestie and i went to the prophet bar in deep ellum and saw beirut on nov. 1st. it was tough to get a good photo, the entire time it was like he was glowing! but i managed to get this one
on nov. 3rd was the yellow ostrich/delicate steve/ra ra riot show at the granada (my most favorite venue) yellow ostrich really blew me away. i got to see first hand how they create their fascinating sound. i love them!
ra ra riot was peppy and i kinda envied how awesome the cello player’s legs are. i need to work on mine now!
on saturday, nov. 5th my date and i went to the bear hands/we were promised jetpacks show at trees in deep ellum. i LOVE bear hands right now, so i was dancing all around (as much as a shy person can or will). i met and thanked the lead singer for coming to dallas, i hope they come back!
on tuesday, nov. 8th i saw phantogram at the loft in dallas. it was a dreamy show and i love the way the girl (wish i was better about names) moved with her hand holding onto the keyboard stand. hawt! i caught this gem of a photo during the few times they had a bright light on.
next concerts are in december, it’s gonna be a swell month of festivities!!
what shows have you been to lately? have any photos that you’re really proud of too? i would seriously love to see them!
hope all is well!
