A Favorite Local Spot: Pangaea

I've decided to spotlight some of my favorite Nashville locales. If you visit, these are definitely places you should go!
1st up is Pangaea, a gift shop located in the Hillsboro Village area. Pangaea has lots of unique gifts and novelty items. Many items are bought in Mexico and brought to the store, so there's tons of Mexican folk art. They have lots of jewelry, clothes, candles and home decor. Here are a few pics of the store-I love the colors!

And here are a few cuties I got today. The little birdie is a bud vase, and the Frida Kahlo box slides open. The sandalwood soap is only a dollar!

Also, some 20 cent chile pepper light covers!

I love this store!

For my next big giveaway, I may just include some goodies from this shop. I'm thinking about having a giveaway when I reach 50 followers. What do you think?

Summer Inspiration

I thought I'd share some pretty Summer pics that I've taken at various places throughout Tennessee. Hope you enjoy them :)

Also,

I thought I might share some of the cuter parts of my home decor. I have a huge obsession with vintage anything, and the colors turqiouse and fuscia. I love things with a history, and there are just so many cute things to be found!


This is a jewelry tray I made from dollar tree plates!

This teapot is my favorite color! It was new and super cheap, too!

This cookie jar came from my grammas basement (it was saved from the flood). Its still awaiting a good cleaning lol.

I love this retro sign. Its so cool. I put it up in my kitchen.

Time to eat some mini quiche. Yum!

Support

When it rains it pours. This has never been truer than in the last year of my life. I have gone through and am still going through a lot of painful things. I wasn't planning on writing about this on here, but I feel like I can trust my readers and you all have been so supportive already I thought it would help to get this all out on (digital) "paper". I don't know what else to say other than that I am in so much pain and it just doesn't feel like it ever will end. I don't deal well with things like this well.
I hope this doesn't sound like whining. I just needed to get it out.
Maybe I can focus all this negative energy into making my shop the best it can be and really getting it going. I hope I hope I hope.
Thanks for reading this. I so much appreciate it! I hope everyone wil feel free to share with me if they ever need encouragement or support also!

I wish this was my life...
