A Surprise Visitor

After feeding our barnyard animals this morning we were greeted by an adorable baby gray field mouse on our front steps. So little and cute.

Fun Sunday Morning Shopping Trip

I went shopping this morning and got some new goodies at my favorite boutique store in Vista, Ca. I found some interesting hardcover books, a nice selection of music CD's, and a pretty Calvin Klein Tote Bag. I will be listing these throughout the day so be sure to check my eBay store for these and many more treasures I have found.

Fabulous Purses Found

The last several weeks I have been all over Southern California finding fantastic purses new and used. I've been of course to my favorite boutique store in Vista, Ca which is close to home. But have also been traveling on fun adventures to antique stores and shows from San Diego to Irvine and all the way to Long Beach. I will be listing these beauties throughout the weekend. There is a vintage beaded Lindsey Blake clutch purse, two incredible Vera Pelle handbags, a nice white Baby Phat purse, two Etienne Aigner bags, Pink Apt. 9 leather purse, black NYC by Perlina brand new purse, a black Sabina NY Tote, gorgeous Kathy Van Zealand purse and finally a fun Emille M. handbag.
