Dress Shopping!

I finally did the deed!  I went dress shopping for Candi's upcoming wedding, something I was not looking forward to.

I have such a hard time shopping for myself no matter what size I am, I feel nothing ever looks quite right.

I was just going to look at the department stores this week and next to the bridal and specialty shops.  Not planning on buying at all.  I have been looking on line at places like David's Bridal and I was surprised to see several of the dresses from the same designers are right in the department stores.  (see I'm not a clothing shopper)  

I started at JC Penney's, then Macy's, next was Dillard's and the last department store which is my favorite to shop at Belk's.  There it was!  I knew it when I saw it.  I tried on three dresses and kept going back to "the one".  I text a picture of it to Candi and she loved it.  

I wanted to wear a cocktail length dress and I know Sandi, Han's mom is wearing a full length but this dress, yes I did buy and it is a tea length which is perfect!  I was so excited that my search would be over.

I thought I was all done but not really, next is the shoes and the jewelry and I need a hand bag which I did kinda looked at on my way out of the mall but I may design and make my own hand bag I have some ideas in my head.

Also on my way out of the mall this window caught my eye

My phone didn't take a very good picture of the beautiful colors painted on these Mason jars.  

When I was in MN I visited my favorite store Crafts Direct and I bought paint that is made to paint in Mason jars and I just made one, purple of course!  I like mine better I will have to post a picture of it, maybe when I do more I bought four colors and yesterday on my way home from dress shopping I stopped by Hobby Lobby and bought more jars.

Well today is Saturday and I see that there are many fall/craft festivals going on today, I think Me and Mr. Man may venture out and enjoy a fall day.

Thanks for the visit!

I have had a very busy week!  Making things and getting the laundry room ready to paint, that will be on a later post.

Thursday I took the day off from all this creative energy I have been fortunate to have to do a little shop therapy.  

Here are my great finds!

 I couldn't pass up this Longaberger basket!  Great to have out this time of year as I will soon be decorating for fall.

 These two doilies will be perfect for a project I have in mind.  Once I have made it I will share.

 I could pass up this cute pumpkin either!  The shop owner of Antiques In Old Town has a blog and I follow her and she posted these cute little pumpkins.  

Later that day Mr. Man and I went to Mickey's karate class.  I do have to say she is really good and I'm not saying that just because I'm her Mimi. : )  

My muse has been keeping me busy these days so I decided to name her Sparkle...she sparks my creative side.  I hope she does stay around for a while I have had some pretty good ideas lately I just need to get them done!

Thanks for the visit!

Hugs,
