Good morning all.  I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  My poor Mama is sick with the flu and just started her job at Disneyland, so she's having a tough weekend.  Please pray for her.  As I promised yesterday, here are some more fabulous photos of all her pretties that she either makes or displays in her house.  Enjoy!  And don't forget to check out her Facebook page for The Queen's Jewels.

My Mama's Gorgeous Creations Part I

(Dress form all dressed up in Mom's bedroom)

Happy Saturday!  I've been wanting to do a blog post on my Mama's fabulous home for a while now, but finally got around to taking some photos.  My mom is an interior designer, a crafter, and an amazing artist.  There are so many stunning pieces in her home that I have to divide them up into two posts.  She rhinestone's almost everything she can get her hands on, including leather-bound Bibles, that would be perfect gifts for Christmas.  If you have any questions on any of her creations, or want to possibly order some of her items, either check out her Facebook page at The Queen's Jewels, or leave me a comment and I'll pass on your info to her.  Make sure to come back tomorrow to see part II!

Found My Fedora

I've been wanting an adorable hat for fall and I finally found one.  After heading out to Kate Spade Pasadena, I stumbled across an amazing hat store, Goorin Brothers.  I had never heard of this store, which was surprising since they have been around since 1895.  The store is so much fun and has a great vintage appeal.  So I found the perfect fedora.  It's so sexy and I can't wait to wear it.  

The Pasadena Store

Amazing right?  So, first of all, I'm not being paid in anyway for the post.  You can visit Goorin Bros. through their website their Twitter or their Facebook page.  Tell them I sent you!  I bought the Wilma and it is amazing!  Have a great night friends!
