pants de leon

 If vintage clothing is your thing, then you really will love this new spot that recently opened up near Hunter Mountain.  A dear friend visiting for the weekend was surprised that I had not been there since she knows that every designer needs a fountain of inspiration and looking to the past can be like hitting the jack-pot.  What fun to take a tour down memory lane, cocktail dresses, loads of denim, vintage ski wear, chunky sweaters, and even a rare train steamer trunk.  Oh the stories these items would tell if only they could talk.    Maybe you have some vintage items to sell?

Please tell them at Pants de Leon that PvE sent you and maybe you just might get a little prefered treatment.

saturday secrets

I did say I was signing off, but before I go, let me share a few saturday secrets.

clever secrets, silly.

It's no secret that times are changing. I wish I had one of these items when I had babies.

Quite a splash on any counter. It is a bottle dry station. The brush is hidden in the center for cleaning the bottles. ("Splash" found at target)

I found one of these Moleskines. It will be my back-to-school wellness note-book.

A beautiful box of these jewels arrived and the designer blogs here on monkey grass hill.

The stones have secret wellness wishes.

My secret stash for gifting. Shhh, please don't give-away all my secrets.

Great gifts for teachers, friends, family.

This sweet blog gal had a small swell birthday at home.

Just thought I would let you "be in on a few secrets."

I was never very good at keeping secret finds all to myself.

Would you like Saturday secrets to be a weekly post or shall I just keep it a secret?
