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!!

Q. Quote from a movie song: I’m not really a movie person, I’ve been watching Star Wars every night for the last 3 months, so you can tell I don’t have much variety in what I watch. I thought I’d put down my most favorite song lyric though. “Suicide is for the weaker kind” I go through clinical depression and anxiety and this lyric always reminds me to have courage for each day no matter how hard it can get. It’s rewarding to live.
