Our Vintage Shoppe

If you can’t tell already we love anything vintage or retro.  We love to hear or imagine the stories behind the items we have.  And…..it just seems like they don’t make things the way they used to.

We travel around doing vintage inspired shows.  It’s so fun to mingle with like minded people who appreciate what we offer.  Here we are at the Vintage Whites Market a few months ago.

Me…..hmmmm……!!!

There are so many things I could say but I will just start with the basics.

Mother to 4

Grandmother to 10 (Yes, 10.  All under the age of 7.)

Former military wife.  We spent 15 years traveling around the world.  It was such a thrill to have seen so many places and meeting lifetime friends.

Crafter – Spent many years working in the craft industry and love getting together with friends and creating.

Lifelong lover of thrift shops, antiques, and yard sales.

Some things I need to work on………

I stay up way too late, drink Diet Dr. Pepper, I’m lazy when it comes to exercising, and I can be a little stubborn.

My Philosophy……

Everything happens for a reason…..

I believe we are put on earth to experience amazingly good things and to prove ourselves through the trials placed in our path.   There is a plan for me put in place by a loving Heavenly Father.  Every experience puts me in the place I should be.  I don’t think it’s an accident when I am able to cross paths with a new friend who has a lot in common with me and feels like a sole mate or dealing with hard things because there is something I am supposed to learn.  I am sure there are blessings in store for me if I can endure.  I can already see the blessings of doing my best to pass these tests through my children and grandchildren.  They bring me so much joy.

Anyway, you will get to know me more as time goes by.  I’m thrilled to be working with my girls and so blessed to have them in my life.

Until next time……

 

 

Hello!!

Jessica

Hello Readers!

I’m Jessica, the oldest sister of our Polkadot Poplars, the hugely pregnant one. (Yes there is only one in there!)

I’m am currently in the wonderful state of Wyoming, I’m a Melanoma survivor, wife of a wonderful man, and mommy of twin girls and another little girl who I swear is a 14 year old in a 4 year old body. We are currently expecting our first little man to our bunch and cant wait for that adventure. (He has to come out sometime right!?) We just finished building our first house and I cant wait to make it into our home. I have so many ideas running through my head sometime I cant sleep!

I love all things classic. Movies, clothes, music etc. I channel women like Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds with maybe a little Lucille Ball in there, too. I love to transform spaces (Almost too much I think, things change on a daily basis at my house.) and I like to refinish those poor neglected items people forget.   If you’re reading this I hope you’re here to stay and will enjoy what my mother and sisters and I come up with.

About Me!

Brittany

Hello! My name is Brittany. I am your typical young mom, wife of a sweet, hardworking, man and lover of anything that has to do with style!  I adore anything that has to do with hair, makeup, or clothes.  No, I am not a professional, but hopefully that will change in a couple years.  I have a huge passion for helping others feel beautiful inside and out! I am so excited to share the tips I have run across, including my favorite things and tips and tricks.

I often feel like my life is full of day to day monotony and we do have long days as mothers, but between listening to my three year old talk nonstop about what goes on when he goes potty (I swear it’s a boy thing!), picking up toys nonstop, building forts out of blankets, kissing boo-boos or listening to my son cracking up to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, it is SO worth it to me!

It is safe to say that our life gets a little bit hectic sometimes!  My sweet husband is currently in flight school and working full time and it’s been a big adjustment for us, just because he gets so busy, but he is the love of my life! I absolutely love being a wife and mother!

Dave and I met at a friends house late one evening through mutual friends. We exchanged phone numbers, started texting back and forth, then dated seriously and got hitched on June 10.  It’s been a wonderful almost 7 years, but marriage has it’s ups and downs.  No, I am not going to try and hide that we haven’t had our moments and that our marriage is perfect, but we are working at trying to make it so!

 

I am excited about starting this blog journey! The best part? Meeting new friends!
