GUEST BLOG: A WEEK OF INSPIRATION

<div align="center">Hello to all you lovelies, I've been so inspired by many beautiful things recently including two arts festivals. Spring is such a beautiful time. Enjoy a few wisps of the cute cute things that have caught my eye...</div><br/><div align="center">I scored big on this vintage dress. I stumbled upon it at an estate sale in this old building during Arts Festival #2 I do believe dresses are more loved when they are perfectly vintage and only $4.00<a href="#"></a> </div>I really desperately wished I had a reason for two 1960-70's woodgrain and gold-yellow restaurant booths. I'm sure I could have found a use for them somehow...if only they would have fit in my VW Beetle.The best arts festival just happened to be in one of my most favorite places ever. I have major plans to life here someday...Fairhope, Alabama. The most beautiful town in America.<a href="#"></a> On top of being dreadfully sick and going to the festivals, school and work, my school was having a cake exhibition for one of the classes. And we all know that UP is like my favorite movie EVER...This is so amazing.<br/><br/><div><a href="#"></a></div><br/><p>I hope you enjoyed the bits of beautiful whimsy! Have a lovely, super crafty week! Toodles! </p><p>~Miss Tay~</p>
