Little Things In Life- Dry Erase Crayons

I am sick and tired of my dry erase markers drying out. Today on my trip to the local big box store I discovered dry erase crayons. This is genius! The package come with a little eraser cloth and a crayon sharpener on the back of the box. They work on my white board calendar and on my stainless message board. Has anyone else tried these?

Laundry Room- Lined Curtains

This is a tutorial on how to create lined pocket rod curtains.  I am really not an expert sewer, but this is a project for a novice.  The key is to cut straight lines, and IRON everything...This specific fabric is organic cotton twill, that has a really nice stiffness to it.  It looks really great with a lined too!

A Day at The Vintage Garage

Today I felt like a kid in a candy store. I met up with my two girlfriends, and went to The Vintage Garage, located in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood. Here, vendors overtook the bottom two floors of a parking garage. The feel was definitely more vintage flea market with a focus on costume jewelry, mid century furniture, and finally tons and tons of 1950's and 1960's clothes. Here are a few of my finds:

I'm so excited to hang these wash boards in my new laundry room.  

Sorry for the bad picture.  But this dress was fun and flowy.
 It just fit really weird on top.

Super cute floral pattern a-line dress with drawn elephants.
I loved this dress, but I couldn't breathe in it.

This dress was the winner!!  

P.S. I bought these dresses from Zzouzi Vintage!
