Farmer's Market Find.

I have a deep love for farmer's market flower pins. They are always made from unique odds and ends, often painted seeds or leftover fabric pieces. This Saturday I found this flower at our local curb market, twisted into shape out of a men's tie. The black, white, and red, was my favorite. For only $5, it was a deal. It was also Henry's first farmer's market adventure, so it will be a fun flower to remember the day.

Princess Peach Bling.

This Halloween we went family-themed. Kyle was Mario, Henry was the most adorable Toadstool and I was Princess Peach. For the full story, and tons of pics, check out herhomemadelife.blogspot.com. Instead of Peach's normal blue jewels, though, I decided to flower-it-up a bit and use vintage broaches in their place. I immediately went to etsy, my flower pin market place and, after a quick search, came across this matching set. Cameo's Collectibles has quite a few matching sets, actually. Including very comparable versions of my Princess Peach bling, only in shades of orange and pink. You know, if you need a Christmas present or something...
