So I've been wondering how to make symbols while typing on my computer for a while now, especially the ♥ symbol. I did some research and hot damn... there are so many great symbols available. Did you know you could do ☂ and ♘ and ★ and ☎ and ♳ and ㊴. Really the list goes on…

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

-Go to Edit on the top of your computer- go down to the bottom & click onto special characters & whala! Tons of super great symbols to choose from. ⧼for a short cut- hold down- alt, command, T⧽

I have a MAC so I'm not entirely sure if this works the same on a PC. I don't know anyone who uses one. I've converted most of my family over to the MAC.

Thanks to The Ohana Mama blog for making it the most clear.

Feeling Some Kate Spade Love

I've never really been a huge fan of Kate Spades handbags but I'm always a big fan of someone who makes things happen. She exploded years ago & she now has clothing, accessories, shoes, jewelry, seriously the list goes on... I'm loving her clothing line.

When it's super hot outside & super cold inside- stashing a light sweater in your bag/purse is essential. These sweaters add some spice.

Ruffles will never go out of style in my opinion. Whether they are big or small they'll always be around. These dresses are light & ready for some summer love/loving.

What Would Ms. Pillsbury Wear?

Have you seen this blog? Who doesn't think Emma Pillsbury on Glee has the greatest outfits.What would Emma Pillsbury Wear is a blog dedicated to the darling Jayma May's character on this bizarrely wonderful show. They'll do all the hard work of finding where her outfits come from you just have to click & shop.

If you're as addicted to Glee as I am or you're behind the times go here or here. You won't regret it

Father's Day

For Father's Day I bought Adam New York City in a Bag that Muji made from the MoMA store when I went on my girls trip to the NYC. He went to Columbia University & fell in love with New York so I thought this was the perfect gift. Turns out it was! The only problem is he wants to take it to his office & I think it looks perfect in our living room. Guess I'll have to buy him another one for his birthday next week....

They also have Tokyo, London & Paris if you go directly to the Muji sight. Your favorite city in a bag- such a fun & inexpensive present for your friend/lover.

FLea Market at Abode

Don't miss the flea market Saturday June 19th at Abode It's comparable (on a much smaller scale) to the flea market I would go to with my friend Chris in West Hollywood California.

These are just some of the things I bought last month I went. I also bought an old school -school map for $25- I haven't put it up yet so no picture sorry.

Bought this vintage sweater for $3

Bought this original painting for $10

I didn't buy the tricycle or the radio flyer but I wished I had. How cool is that radio flyer.

** Become a follower of Abodes blog & get %10 off your entire purchase inside the store! They have some amazing items so ride your bike NO borrow a truck- tomorrow from 9- 6 (flea market ends at 4)

Use/ Reuse

What do you do with your babies socks that don't fit anymore?

It's a perfect fit

I've been passing on most of my girls clothes that don't fit anymore to my friend Tia & my sister in-law Jen but for some reason I can't give up the Mary Jane shoe socks that my friend Tracy gave to Elsa when she was born •still contemplating having one more baby• Hopefully I don't stretch them out too much...

Just For Boys

How great are these car/train/action figure holders from Giftz by David Look for a fighter jet & a helicopter coming soon.

I'm not surprised the star wars one is sold out!
