Skyline Fever Styles

I forgot to post pics of the new Skyline Fever styles this week.  We now have girls basic tees and two new dress styles!  All sizes, small through x-large!  Im personally in love with the rust colored shirt.  And there is another new design coming soon.  We have a long list of designs!!!   Slowly, one at a time, we will get to them.


And it does not have to be warm where you are to wear these dresses, they are perfect for layering over thermal and leggings in the winter and then de-layering for spring!  That is what I love about comfy cotton clothing!  So versatile.

p.s. Today's Top 5 Friday post will be delayed, but not forgotten!

Elsie & Emma's DIY Cakestand

Today's sponsor DIY comes from the Red Velvet girls, Elsie & Emma.  They are sharing a sweet little way to turn vintage glassware into adorable new cake & treat stands!  Emma uses these in her sweet shop display.  Love it.  I think I would like to make some with vintage china since I love color and old china so much.  This would be a great idea for a handmade wedding!

 
All you need: vintage or thrifted plate or ashtray and small vase or
cocktail glass, epoxy glue
 
 
First, if you get your items second hand make sure to wash them before
you use them. Place the plate upside down on a flat surface. Apply a
small amount of epoxy glue to the bottom edge of the vase or glass.
Glue the glass onto the plate in the center. Place a heavy book or two
on top while it is drying. Make sure to read the directions on your
epoxy glue, as different brands have different drying times. Once your
new cake stand is dry, set it right side up and fill with baked goods!
 

If you create one, please share it with me & the girls!


PEACE,
Laura

Sponsor Love

Time for a big thank you to all of my sponsors this month!  Take some time to get to know them all a bit better.  Each of my sponsors are hand selected... these are not paid for spots... they are here because I love them and believe in what they do or who they are!  *in order as they appear on the sidebar*

Kelly & Brandi from Mucho Mucho Bueno Bueno are two sisters from Texas who are fun loving and not afraid to be themselves.  One is a hair stylist and the other is a graphic designer.  They have a definite zest for life, and such sweet bohemian style.


Emma & Elsie are also two sisters, who run Red Velvet, a vintage & handmade craft boutique/cupcake shop together in Springfield.  They are both super sweet girls, with such a love for living a creative life.  They are a huge inspiration to anyone who aspires to live their dreams to the fullest. 


Shauna is the amazing girl behind Poor Pitiful Pearl clothing.  I feel truly blessed and honored to know her in real life, and have her so close to where I live.  We are definitely creative soulmates in a way.  She is a huge inspiration to me, in the way she juggles her life and business, and her passion & fire inside her soul.


Katelyn is another girl Im so honored to say she is a friend.  We have bloomed our online relationship into something very real and tangible.  I love that she is not afraid to be herself, she has a super cute & quirky personality, and she is just so easy to be friends with.  And she is an excellent photographer & is growning her creative skills daily!


Ruche is an online boutique that I am honored to say I have my work in.  Mai and her husband Josh have been the sweetest people ever to work with.  Their site is growing like crazy, and its no wonder b/c it is just so beautiful.  From the moment I came across their site, I felt like we were two peas in a pod!  They have a beautiful & inspiring story that you can read here.


James, as most of you know, is my husband!  Isnt he the cutest?  His screenprinting tshirt company is just a baby, and I couldnt be more proud of him.  He does it all in his spare time after working a normal full time job.  His dreams are to one day be able to quit his day job and do this fulltime!  He is an amazing husband, so loving, so funny & I know he would do just about anything for me.  I am very blessed with him.


Danielle runs the blog Fancy Biscuit.  She has been a follower of my blog for quite some time, and I just think she is an adorable girl.  So not afraid to be herself and speak her mind.  And she loves thrifting and taking photos!  My kind of girl :)


Amber is also another blog reader of mine, since way back!  She has been so super sweet and I just love how she talks about her and her hubby.  She loves loves loves owls, like me!  And thrifting, granny squares, vintage, good music... and she is super crafty!  She is the one that sent me that amazing cowl from a few posts back!
