THE LAST TWO FROM MY FIX!!

Now,  for the last two

when you get your fix, you get five items to

add to your wardrobe.   If you are anything

like me, to rebuild your wardrobe.

These are the tops they sent.

Look at how cute the cuffs are.  Oh and it is so soft and goes with everything.

Not only cute cuffs but!! These tops are bat winged

sleeves and that is perfect for me.

They add the fullness, some of us need

to hide those imperfections  without

looking like I am wearing one

size to large.

Both tops can fit over a blouse, so you have a collar. Look wonderful with a necklace too.

I am super happy. I would never have 

chosen these on my own.

If they were in a store I would have walked right

by them.   

Yes, I am waiting for my next fix!

 

I DID NOT KNOW THIS!

I had no clue

Not sure if I should have known. Now, I am amazed to learn, that 7 major leaders own 182 brands of cosmetics.

My quest started when I was curious about IT make up and where did it come from, who makes it.  Well, it comes from China!  As do many other cosmetics.

Then I wondered who makes Lancome, love it but it cost a fortune, well L'Oreal is the same company.  
My curiosity grew and I found this web page, it is very interesting and sure opened my eyes.
So when they say, models use the drug store brands, of coarse they do, it basically is the same product.

My FIX IS IN!

My Fix!

I didn't get to this sooner as I am having eye problems. Staying off the computer or at least limiting

the time I spend here will help my

eye heal a bit.

I love, loved my fix from Stitch fix.

I read a lot of reviews and was not sure

what to think.  I was both nervous and excited. 

Knowing I could send everything back, helped.

That meant I was not suck with anything.

I have a code if you want to try it. 

This would cover your styling fees

Also helps me out a bit as this is

my way to shop for clothes.

They send you a style card, so you can 

see what will mix with your choice.

 My great love is the cardigan my stylist picked for me.

Would I have picked it? No, I would have missed

out on a great piece.

There are five items, the next was the pants! Only the item in the middle of the picture, is the item sent.

The pants were the one thing I was most worried about
both with size and style.  Not to worry, they fit perfect and
I love the style.  Again a style card, with suggestions.


Okay just one more!  I did get and kept five, but I need to save something for another post.

My super favorite is the plaid shirt. I told my stylist I love red
and she came through with this red plaid shirt. Love, love it.

who would not love this cardigan. 

MY FALLISH GARDEN

My Fallish garden and---

Two days until my fix. I can hardly wait!

My endless summer Bloomstruck

has decided to bloom once more.

I love this hydrangea, it is the

best performer.

 

 Of coarse I had to add a few things

The rain we had yesterday made 

everything very happy.

He needs a name, but he is so happy.

Real pumpkins are not in our stores

yet, but i just love this one. 

What fun this has been, fall isn't so bad.

Did I tell you it's only two more days?

WILL THIS HAVE A HAPPY ENDING?

Remaking me!

My daughter Janel, surprised me with a

gift for my birthday ---

A gift card for Stitch fix!

I know?  Who knew she thought I 

needed a make over?

I am wondering how this will go.

You, put in your style, and they give you

a personal stylist. ($20.00 fee)

There is a questionnaire on their page,

you pick styles from pictures and tell them

thumbs up or down if this is something 

you would wear. Also a very detailed forum you fill

out telling them about yourself.

Now, my daughter got her box and

loved everything in it and kept all of it.

My gift

She sat with me and walked me through how

it all works so--

We will see.

My box will be delivered Friday the 13th!

Like oh my! could we not have picked

a better day?? 

Will this be a thumbs up? or 

Thumbs down?

UGH! I DID IT AGAIN

When will I stop doing that?

When ever I see a post of a beautiful home, 

and wonderful decorating.

I Think first of the limitations of

mobile (not movable mobile) home.

I know this is where God planted me and I know why.

Still, I let the pity party sneak in.

Well, what can I do to change things?

A little in the way of decorating, if

I would get out of my way!

BUT!!

I have a little yard!

I can design and plant and change to my 

hearts content.

 trying shade plants

Love hostas

 

 

The petunias put on a real show.

Shade planter just went crazy

Now it is time to change it all out for fall.

I am even planing winter gardening.

MAKING THE BEST

God knew

All the time I was whining,

God was directing my path.

In all thy ways acknowledge the Lord

and he will direct your path.

A verse put in my Bible when I graduated 

from high school.

A verse I have repeated a thousand times.  

Just not this time!!

God knew Steve would have a stroke. God knew I would need a place I could handle.

Yes, God knew.

Where else do you find God if it is not in the garden?

So, I set about making my space pretty.

With help from grandson Seth

we transformed this to--

This-which is now--

this and--

Just keep believing.
