Huge props are going out to Monique at “A Day In The Life Of A Surferwife”. She joined in the International Workspace Tour the other day and upped the ante by doing a VIDEO tour! Before you head over to check it out and hear her darling voice, I must warn you – if the fact that she lives in sunny California isn’t bad enough, she gives us a peek at her kick ass backyard and you will immediately become sick with envy. I’m just saying.
You can see all the other tours over on my sidebar. Who’s doing the next one???
And thanks to everyone for their vlog questions. You people have really submitted some doozies. Of course as both the vlog’s Director and Producer, I have given myself full authority to only select the easy questions. I hope to post it tomorrow. If I can only figure out how. *pounds fist in frustration*
Next item . . . a few weeks ago I placed an order at Daisy & Elm, which is the fab Etsy store from my girl Allyson at Magnolias & Mimosas where she sells her gorgeous handmade jewellery. Each piece is an original because she makes only 1 of each item. I had wandered over there from the link on her blog and immediately fell in love with a certain item named “Not Your Mamas Pearls” (I love how she gives each piece a name!) A quick click or two of the mouse and it was mine, all mine!
You can imagine how excited I was when this beautiful box came out of the package in my mailbox!
And here’s me sporting my new little beauty! It’s it lovely? Just wait and see how good I look once if I get a tan.
Although, while surfin’ the net the other day, I couldn’t help but notice that it bares a striking resemblance to a little number that a few other people have worn . . . is it just me???

Ha – I kid! I like to showcase practice my crazy photoshop skills whenever possible.
Seriously, Allyson’s pieces are truly originals, top quality and gorgeous. Be sure to check them out.
Laters!

no joke. your skills are top notch lady. you totally had me fooled. i caught on with gaga though…just because that piece seems to beautiful for gaga- she would only wear it if it had kermit hanging off of it, or maybe some eyeballs or something.

You completely and totally had me going. I thought wow, that necklace has really been around. You’re good. Scary good.
April 29th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
For a minute, I believed you and Oprah had the same necklace and therefore the same amount of money. All I could think was “I HAVE TO LEAVE BETTER COMMENTS. I COULD BE THE NEXT GAYLE KING.”
April 30th, 2010 at 12:58 am
I too was completely fooled. You have master skills. And I can’t wait until I wake up tomorrow for your vloggy!

I was totally fooled. Great photoshopping! And I have to agree…I love Ally’s stuff. I have two necklaces, a bracelet and matching earrings. I’m addicted. She’s just so fabulous. Love your necklace!
