Swoon Saturday.

Hey there! Happy Saturday to you! Okay, so I've always been that girl who doesn't like to decorate the house for holidays throughout the year...I don't know why, maybe I'm just not that festive...It just always feels kinda cheesy to me for some reason. BUT, this year, I've seen so many cute holiday displays, I may have to change my mind about holiday decorating. There is something so dang cute about holiday fawn...I'm convinced that if I had a stellar collection of vintage fawn, I'd want to dress them up for the holidays. These cutesy kitschy fawns are what I'm currently swooning over today...Maybe by next holiday season I can collect enough to make an adorable display myself!

I'm ultra-mega swooning over that last image...what a fantastic collection!!

Elsie's holiday fawn display is ultra adorable, I always love her displays.


So far, this is as festive as I've been able to get at the shop...I'm going to work a little more on holiday displays after Thanksgiving.

Hope your weekend is going lovely thusfar!

Food Friday.

So, I'm sitting at the shop right now...and I'm getting hungry. I only came prepared with animal crackers...not the most satisfying of munchies. My current hunger is most likely what motivated me to make this food related post on this fine Friday.

Crocheted food...it's still on my creative list of to-do's.
I know its yarn, but doesn't it look delicious!

Mmmm mmm, mexican-- My fave!

I hope you all have a lovely rest of your Friday!

New on Etsy!

Hey guys and gals. I just wanted to share some of my favorite items that I've recently listed on our Etsy shop. Some are about a week old, but they are too cute not to share. Don't mind the summer styling, it's still hitting the 100's here in Phoenix. [le sigh]. Autumn items will be on their way next month!

 Find these and more great vintage items @ Butter Toast on Etsy!

Don't miss out because once they're gone, they are gone!

Ta ta 'til later.

Fashion Fest.

Howdy. I just wanted to drop a quick note to remind everyone of the Grand Ave. Festival happening this weekend. My business partner, Jasmine, worked really hard on the Fashion Shows part of the festival, and from what I hear it should be a great success. Plus...it's FREE! Here's a poster giving a few more details. For even more info about the fashion shows and other festival events please visit http://grandavephoenix.com/.

And if you make it to the shows, be sure to congratulate everyone for their efforts all summer to put this thing together.

Hope your day is starting off right!

good day, wednesday.

Today was a nice little change from my weekly routine. Typically, I'm always at Butter Toast open to close on Wednesdays, but not today...My lovely business partner, Jasmine, let me take it easy while she manned the shop all morning.
And I definitely did take it easy. Woke up around 8am with my babe. Made us a yummy breakfast. Watched a few episodes of Weeds. The went back to sleep for 3 hours. It was such a lovely little break.

I'm looking forward to Craft Night hosted by Merry May Handmade tomorrow night. I'm finally going to put the finishing touches on the little gnome I've been working on. Here's a little looksy of what I've finished so far <3

The porcelain fawn modeling my gnome-in-progress is one of my favorite buys ever, also from the lovely Ashley at Merry May Handmade.
All I have to do now is add a beard and some button eyes, stuff him, then sew him all up! Please come join us for Craft Night every 2nd Thursday of the month. Located at Butter Toast Boutique, 5pm-8pm.


Tonight, we are rounding up our photoshoot crew to for yet another vintage shoot for our online store.
Maybe I'll snap a few behind the scenes shots and share them you all soon!!

Ta ta,

Cafe d'amour.

Good Morning out there...

I have the day off my "day" job today, and I'm going to try to make it a productive one. I got a head start last night when I spent several hours organizing my studio/craft room/closet room while dancing & singing to Patsy Cline. Today, I'm happy to wake up knowing I made some progress last night that I can build on today. I just enjoyed my first cup of 'jo, but I have a feeling I will need a few more cups to really jumpstart my engine.







Although I have a million things on my to-do list, one of the cutest things I have to do is to finish the crochet gnome I started on Sunday...Hopefully I'll be back later with a post about that.

P.S.- Jasmine is at Butter Toast today, so go say hello and check out the new lingerie line by Kelly Cabrese we have in the shop now. There are several positive changes headed Butter Toast's way here in September...but I'll touch more on that later.

Have a productive Tuesday loves.

Sushi Crochet, Hooray!

Well, hello.

I'm craving sushi. I've been without for far too long. I've been gazing at these lovely crocheted sushi pieces....they are mega adorable, but somehow a mouthful of yarn won't satisfy this craving. I'm going to make a sushi date with my love this weekend, hands down.














Yum Yum Yum!

So, I finally gathered the images from my crochet cactus project I mentioned in the last post...But the mister and I have been having horrible car troubles to I had to walk to the shop today, no biggie, but I so didn't feel like lugging my laptop in today. I pinky promise, I will post them tomorrow....I think it turned out pretty cute for my first time around, I can't wait to make a whole cactus garden!

Gotta get back to store duties loves....It's First Friday, so we must prepare for the art walk.

Have a super Friday night!
