iowa winter

The past few weeks have been crazy when it comes to the weather. Ugh, I hate Iowa's weather sometimes. Last Thursday we were suppose to have this HUGE storm, that only gave us a few inches. Then this week was suppose to be fine and suddenly here it comes. Frustrating. But I can't help but think the snow is pretty.

Trends: Must Have Spring '13

Spring is officially here in one month. Although the snow is still on the ground, I'm already thinking pastels. I have a few goals this Spring that include more flea markets, picnics, and outdoors. Here are some essentials to have this season. 

• light jacket - I'm thinking a bold coral
• new pair of sandals  - the more foot and cute painted toes, the better.
• sunblock - 30 spf of higher
• camera - to shoot all those beautiful flowers

Des Moines first Flee Market starts March 2-3 



see you there

Iowa/ISU bracelets

It is that time of the year for college football, so I decided to make some Iowa Hawkeye/ISU bracelets. I'm going to try and sell some at the market! I haven't made bracelets like this since high school. 

I just pop on the TV and go to town.

foggy iowa

it was such a foggy morning

good morning, Iowa

Iowa State Fair

I love this time of year! The Iowa State fair. Food Food Food

Foot long corn dogs and turkey leg

We got to listen to some good music. 

No one plays the banjo anymore. It's a shame

I register these big boys!

These were carved from a chain saw. I must have

 We had such a good time at the fair. The best thing I ate was a Pickle Dawg. It was a pickle spear wrapped in ham with spicy sour cream fried!

 Food heaven...
