My wonderland

I love that I have a space that it's truly mine. It's quite a mess and I really don't mind. I love everything here, though just like me, it is constantly evolving. I want to paint the walls, I just haven't figured out what color yet (any suggestions?)


Here are some vintage buttons in jars. And my vintage, rare, Alice in wonderland and Through the looking glass book collection.

I love that my walls are filled with art. I want more actually. I want to purchase a Kurt Halsey next.

Here is a painting that I made. I love her.




I collect many things. Just like these vintage threads.

I made the bunting out of yellow fabric. I really love how it adds some whimsy to my studio. I made the curtains but It's only there temporarily. I will eventually change it.

I just love this. It's vintage. And Juliet is pregnant. Apparently, some say that Juliet was pregnant when she killed himself in the Shakespeare play. Hmmm, makes you think 'eh?

I got this salvaged window art at the flea. I am thinking of hanging it on our bedroom wall as a headboard but I'm still thinking about it because I love it here too. It's pretty huge and it just makes a great impact in any room.

I love my fake cuckoo clock. And I love the color.
I will post more photos soon. Right now, I have a mini pink Christmas tree in my studio and I just adore it!

No longer 21

Tonight, I've decided to bring the kids (1 ten year old daughter,2 year old son, and 13 year old twins) to Forever 21. I wanted to treat the twins to a little shopping spree for whatever accessories they want ( only those they feel they can't live without) as an early Christmas present.
My son didn't enjoy it as much as his sisters (well, of course!) but he had fun making faces on this mirrored dressers which I sooo love!
He was very patient. And something tells me that in the future when his girlfriend asks him to go shopping, he would oblige without any complaints. And that's a good thing when the man in your life accompanies you in things you enjoy doing. So lucky that girl would be!


Here's twin #1 checking out the compact mirrors.

The ornate frames around the shelves are just so beautiful, I want one so bad for our house!
This is the best Forever 21 branch, as big as a department store! with floors that glitter (like diamonds!) chandeliers, art, candelabras... Everything is just glamorous!









Here's twin #2

Just like artwork...Lots and lots of headbands!!! And for $3-$6 each, I would love to have them all! The only problem is that, they seem like disposable accessories. Oh well, you get what you pay for.

Trying on a sparkly bow headband---two for $3.60! She got those, of course. I just hope it lasts for more than one week.

I used to love this shop myself. But for some reason, I didn't find anything that in any way irresistible. I guess, my tastes have changed. I enjoyed watching my kids, run around the store and bask in this once in a blue moon opportunity (you know, shopping without mom constantly begging them to put things back or suggesting "better choices") but that's probably it. This shop that was once at my top five just got kicked out of the list. There's only one on my list really... And that is Anthropologie---For me, that is my slice of heaven!

Hah, forever 21... I bid you goodbye! I am now all grown up... Finally!!!
I thought this moment will never come.
