BOUTIQUE @ the busy bee

I have been battling the stomach flu this week...forgive me as everything has been put on hold.  Feeling better today but not 100%. Happy Easter!

Countless hours in a tiny car with three kids and Hubby, one WACO t-shirt, a Texas magnet, a mug holder, industrial cake pan, and getting to spend time with my Dad...priceless.  Wish my oldest could have been with us, but commitments kept him at school.  And our vacation wasn't complete without a kid vomiting on the side of the road...at least we were only 9 miles from home! Favorite picture of the entire trip! My babies! Happy Friday! P.S. Stay tuned for next week's post...several new items and one big project!

So yesterday I was on a mission to find a few things for a friend and a fun present for my daughter's 18th birthday. This is what I ended up with: 5 glass jar mugs 2 mason jars 1 Pyrex small casserole dish 3 glass coasters 1 milk glass Mickey Mouse mug 1 ironstone plate 1 pair of Keds 3 t-shirts The Pyrex dish, Mickey Mouse mug, and Keds are all for my daughter.  The glass jar mugs are for daughter's graduation party.  Glass coasters and ironstone plate are for the dining room.  The t-shi...
