Thrift Store Finds

It's been awhile since I went thrifting last so I thought I'd post the finds from my last trip to Goodwill with my mom. Her finds were: A mid-century ice bucket ($2); Black patent leather purse $5; Ariat boots ($5).

Ring it On Vintage Rings

Last weekend I went home to the burbs for a relaxing weekend, and yet again my mom amazed me with a collection repurposed vintage rings she made....all 165 of them!!!

Unreal!

I'll slowing be adding these rings to a new Etsy shop I created for her: Ring it On

Valentines Day & Trio Salon

I was recently asked to help out at a Womens Networking Event at Trio Salon. Of course I was happy to get my hair done by a top Chicago colorist, and have my hair cut and it was a great time, with Zara sponsoring all the clothes.

With the owner of Trio Salon, Alex.
