Cute as a Button






Ice Cold Vanilla Hemp Milk with a mix of Rice Millet Flakes and Flax Plus Flakes mixed with Flame Raisins. Topped with Melted Banana Slices and an Hermit Cookie for Crumbling. Vintage 1950's Wooden Cinnamon and Sugar Shakers for sale!

Nom nom nom. Cookies and Cereal. This girl is happy. But not just because of the food...I'm truly at a loss of words from how much kindness and love I've been receiving via comments and emails. Thank you from the bottom of my heart..I cannot express it enough. Sometimes the trials I choose not to mention publicly that I undergo daily are challenging but when I wake up and read the words that you kind soul's express to me...they just build me up when I feel so broken down. I feel so much love!

Now before I get all teary I must share with you a dorky little video my sister and I put together over the weekend. I can't say its the best, like fashion posts I think I'll stick with food photography, but I gave it a go. Enjoy! Ps: my hands are red because the tile was icy cold!


On another note I'm going through that pre-spring clothing syndrome where everything I own I pretty much want to either sell or trade for other bright clothes. Its horrible but I think I'm going to take a few bags down to the local trader and pick up some much needed basics at American Apparel. Cranberry hoodie and peach jersey dress be mine. If your in the area some pre loved vintage goodies are going too. Before I go do not forget to enter my lovely giveaway...the dateline was extended and please leave all giveaway comments there instead of upcoming posts!!

Positivity Note January 14 2010: 1. We can't choose our circumstances but we can choose our positive outlook within those trials. 2. Learning to be my own best friend instead of my worst enemy was the biggest struggle yet. 3. Thinking about my family in Haiti brings me to tears because I wish I could be down there and help but I have hope in the future.

  5. I feel the same way about the comments I receive, they are therapeutic and put a smile on my face too! I am so happy you have people to make you feel better, that is so important.

    Love the video by the way, so beautiful and creative.... I love your nails! And send your pretty hands my condolences, my hands get cold too! <3

    I also love the breakfast this morning, as usual. I can never be satisfied in the morning putting my cereal in milk though as much as I'd like too. it so annoying that I got into the habit of yogurt! Argh.
    I suppose I am going to recreate your brekkie as a snack though :)

    Love you Maggie, I would love to package trade with you!
    Drop me an email, yeah?

  14. Yumm! =] That breakfast looked so delicious!
    And I loved your video, by the way. It made me smile, which was great because my day hasn't been going so hot! But really, it was so cute and cheery. It kind of reminded me of this one comercial i saw one time that encouraged people not to start forest fires...haha

    And I also love your positive note #1. It's so thought-provoking. Most people (especially me) automatically jump to the negative when things don't necessarily go according to plan, but such beautiful things can come from change! Thank you!

    I hope your day went well!

  15. I always love to eat cereal with ice cold milk. I put my milk over ice while I am prepping my bowl. I love when the milk gets that slight icy consistency. But how do you make your melted banana slices? I am so curious?

  17. Hmm, that bowl of cereal makes me want some! I've never tried hemp milk - is it similar to soy or almond milk?

    you are too creative! and i love your eye for vintage :) those salt and pepper shakers are sweet!

  19. Just a few answers to some questions...

    To melt the banana..mash it up and bit and place in the microwave for 15 seconds!

    The hemp milk has a very earthy flavor..when I first tried it I thought of dirt and hazelnuts, seriously! But after a while it grew on me and now its full on love..I can't imagine drinking anything else!

    The giveaway is open only for usa and canada..sorry!!

    xoxo
