Eating In: Nachos

Another recipe I tried out today...homemade nachos!! I've made nachos many times before, usually with chilli but since my sister is a vegetarian I decided to stick with veggies, we also tried a guacamole recipe found here and it turned out great! hmmm...what to make next?

Chair re-do: chevron print

I just finished reupholstering the chair in the corner of my room that I like to call my "reading nook", where I spend most sleepless nights reading. I decided to use the chevron black and white print that I purchased a while ago from Tonic Living. If you follow this blog then you know what my reading chair used to look like,  if not then here is a little reminder:

the before...

during...

the after!

Now I have an awesome chevron printed chair!! I love how it looks :)

It always amazes me what a little fabric can do! On another note I was browsing the Tonic Living site and came across this new script print, I think I will be getting this one for sure, but I am not quite sure where it will go yet...

here's what it looks like on a chair

Hope everyone is having a lovely Monday! off to watch the bachelor pad!

My weekend in photos...

This weekend was rather busy for me. Let's see... on Friday Patti and I had our first soap party hosted by my aunt Angie at her beautiful home in Whitby...it was super fun! We sold our products and met some great new people.

On Sunday I made dinner for the family, on the menu was honey mustard lamb ( a recipe I got from Style at Home magazine), baby spinach tossed salad, cured meats and cheeses, bruschetta, italian breads, roasted red peppers. a little bit of vino, and for dessert chocolate fondue and oatmeal chocolate cookies! I forgot to take photos of the lamb, but trust me it was great! and dessert got gobbled up before I could take any pictures...

Tomorrow is my mother's birthday, so I am off to bake a cake and get her a fresh bouquet of flowers, plus lots of other goodies...

What did you do this weeked?

some highlights from our soap party...

Shoe Crush

I love shoes, for as long as I can remember I have always loved shoes. No matter how I am feeling, even when I am having a "fat day" a pair of shoes always cheers me up, because you see my size 6 never lets me down! Even when I feel like dressing down, a pair of killer pumps can brighten up my outfit! I was browsing some of my favourite online shops and found these beauties over at Aldo, a lot of them are from their newest fall line.

These are my absolute favs!

military inspired

great for fall... with a cute opaque tight or just on their own

 awesome tan woven leather for everyday, plus great heel height

Etsy Seller: High Street Market

As an etsy seller myself I love to support and feature other great shops, and although I am sure this shop needs no introduction I think you should all have a look at High Street Market if you haven't already...enjoy all the eye candy!
