So the weekend started off with some sugar, and then ended with some sugar at about
11 o'clock at night on Sunday. Go figure. Sounds about right.
Friday night about 20 local Long Beach/OC bloggers met up at the home of
Mrs. 17.
We came, we met, we ate.
Lots and Lots of Sugar
When there's cake pops from
Sweet and Saucy,
what else is there to do but partake in the goodness?
I had so many
QUESTIONS I wanted answered about bloggin'!
I'm so new to this type of blogging
You know the type of blogging where you're talking about more than your kids
{not that there's anything wrong with blogging just about your kids}
I swear I have such a persecution complex.
Always thinking someone's going to take something I say the wrong way.
I guess I better try to shake that baggage off if I'm going to be a serious blogger
ANYHOW! Sorry for the digression...
I got some questions answered,
BUT I HAVE SO MANY MORE!
I can't wait for the next Blog Sugar so we can get down to business and tackle the serious issues.
Lots of serious issues to tackle when you're bloggin' you know.
Lots of problems to solve.
Enough babbling from this baboon, here are some pictures!
I had my own cute adorable name tag!
And get this, it doubles as a hair clip too.
Taylor ain't taking this one away from me that's for sure.
I tried it on and I feel like I'm channeling some glamour girl from the 50's
Thanks to Julie from
Joy's Hope for making all of these!
Chinese take-out box presentations are always so gosh darn cute, makes you not even care what's inside (although I promise there was something good inside of these!)
Our Lovely Hostess
This lady was so sweet. Kristy from
SoSoBella. As I usually do, I stuck my foot in my mouth during our conversation. She let it slide though! Sweet and talented, nice combo.
Thanks again Rachel for hosting!
My last bit of sugar...
do your teeth hurt yet?
Art tackled the nightmare that is our garage this weekend.
And at about 11 o'clock at night he ran in carrying some sweetness.
{I just love that he knew how excited I'd be over this}
On a whim he decided to open one of my grandma's boxes that I've been holding onto now for about 6 years saying to myself "when I have time I'll go through them."
Well, what did he unearth?
These beautiful, perfect, little treasures!
MILK GLASS!
This is the perfect little candy dish
At first I envisioned our fruit in here, but then I envisioned one of my rascals trying to grab a piece of fruit and it would come crashing down. So up on the shelf it went.
Now all we need are some spring flowers to fill these little gems
And my favorite little gem, this dinner bell. I am in love.
I had been at the flea market that same morning and had picked up the covered dish on the right to use as a candy jar; then mere hours later another found under my own roof!
Don't they just complete my collection?
Wishing you a sweet and sugary filled week!
Second, I am really enjoying my new over-sized glass jars that I picked up at Target. Filled with flour, sugar and brown sugar, they are proving to be a nice decorative piece as well as very functional. I never realized how much flour we go through here, and having it in this very large jar makes it easy to scoop out.
What are you loving in your home this week?
