Art Show: Proud Mom Alert

Sophie had not one but TWO works of art selected for exhibit at the 43rd annual Prince William County Schools Arts Festival 2013!  We attended the festival today and were blown away by the talent showcased from every PWC school, grades K-12.  I told Sophie we should have brought a notebook with us to write down all of the cool ideas for things to create.  Here are her beautiful entries:

Sophie will also receive a Festival Certificate awarded by her art teacher.  In addition to visual arts, there were dance, music and theatre performances throughout the event.  I know my girl felt very proud to have been chosen to exhibit, and a fun time was had by us both.  Can't wait for these to come home and be displayed on the walls of our home :)

 

Daily Dose of Cute

 Oh, pictures just do not do this mug justice!  This is one of the cutest owls I have ever seen.

And look!  He has a cat friend!  What are the chances that I'd find vintage *owl and pussycat* mugs?  These are made by GHC Japan, and are in excellent condition.  Look for them in sosovintage soon :)

Daily Dose Of Cute

Okay, okay- I hear you. Perhaps he isn't *cute* in the conventional sense. More in the *face only a mother could love* sense. He still makes me smile with his grouchy owl face. We all feel this way from time to time don't we?

Next Up: Jewelry Fun

Well, I am thrilled to say that my plan for getting listing done more efficiently in sosovintage is working so far! I've gotten all of the vintage towels in the shop, and a few have already been snatched up. Here is a preview of my next bunch of items!

I also have at least two jewelry boxes to clean up, and some earrings that I'm trying to decide how to describe! Busy me! What are you working on this weekend?

Friday's Fab Find: 11/13

Hootie Hoo... This little napkin holder is just the cutest thing! Intricately carved wood, and both sides have this little sweetie's face and feathery bod. Wouldn't this add the sweetest vintage woodland flair to your cottage? You can find it in sosovintage later this evening.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Sunday's Secondhand Score

It was about 6 months ago that an ugly crash sounded from my bathroom; hubby had somehow knocked our pottery soap dish to the floor. Horrors! While I could have replaced it a million times over by now, I just wasn't moved to do so. Until Friday, when I rested my eyes on this sweet little guy! Vintage Avon (1971).... wish I had looked so good when I was 38 years old. I'm pretty sure I gave out an audible "hoot hoot" right there in the Salvation Army. Hey, it wouldn't be the first time! Have you had any fab thrift finds lately? Do share!
