Happy Weekend! I am off to work on the house some more today, finally more nice weather too so I want to get some flowers & seeds started for vegetables soon. Isn't <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/98089144/modular-herb-garden-with-tray" target="_blank">this herb garden tray</a> from etsy neat? Any fun or relaxing things planned for your Sunday afternoon? I wanted to check out the flea market to look for a vintage table to use as a potting bench. but of course I slept in then read blogs instead... Oh, hello friend has another <a href="http://www.ohhellofriendblog.com/2012/05/reader-appreciation-giveaway-4.html" target="_blank">giveaway</a> that I just entered so I will share that with you too, it's for a camera pack with an instant camera, film and a super cute bag to keep it all in.

<span style="font-size: small;">Just a little look at what I've been up to lately, and what's in store for Love, Mia Shop this year... Yes, that's right I <strike>changed</strike> updated my shop name, much like I <strike>changed</strike> updated my wedding venue 6 weeks before I was supposed to get married, but that's a story for another day. Who could resist a gorgeous farm setting? So I am married now, officially a Mia of a new last name. Not according to my license, but I have the photos to prove it. We also just bought a house (bit of a fixer upper) so I'm sure you'll be getting updates on all the DIY projects and renovations we have in store, it's definitely going to be a <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/155022412143249678/" target="_blank">Martha inspired palette</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">With the new shop name also comes a fresh new look for 2012, on the blog & in the shop. It's time for spring and judging by the new pieces I've been listing this week I have a bad case of spring fever (granted Buffalo has been pretty green, but I want the fresh-air-coming-in-the-open-windows kind of spring!)- add a touch of vintage bohemian charm- voila! the new collection is here.... ♥</span></div>

Both?</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"> When you start to create your art wall keep in mind that your art can be unconventional. A pretty page from a magazine or calender, vintage book page, greeting card or scrapbook paper, even a blank canvas and some stamps or typography printed at home. Using inexpensive gallery frames mixed in with a few thrift store finds you can make your own art wall in 30 minutes for $30, and if you're after a more cohesive look a little spray paint can make all of your collected frames white. The great thing about a gallery wall is that you can add to it over time and switch out prints depending on the season or mood.

So lately I have been loving the Japanese Deco Tapes- and all of the cutie supplies popping up on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">etsy</a>. Combined with my love of lace... well, I squealed when I found these! Another thing to love... the fun little inspiration photos in each listing. So many cute ways to use them, just in case you couldn't already think of enough! ♥ <span style="font-size: 130%;">Love, Mia</span></div>Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12419870196234712489noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13317852.post-17398926428383526122010-02-14T12:45:00.011-05:002010-02-14T15:39:25.569-05:00fresh look :: { love }<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Iqj34WO1zJLbX2101M5f_P2vBgHscWU9SIPMiFBUGra-gpoifSnjMFeUgaLWo0myxlWPKD_ZNkMreKuGJOLaVsFu9X7QvRSDFiBDRGtrFvvPs9Dlm-6ti8UPYd4203cCNtAz0Q/s1600-h/FreshLookLove.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Iqj34WO1zJLbX2101M5f_P2vBgHscWU9SIPMiFBUGra-gpoifSnjMFeUgaLWo0myxlWPKD_ZNkMreKuGJOLaVsFu9X7QvRSDFiBDRGtrFvvPs9Dlm-6ti8UPYd4203cCNtAz0Q/s400/FreshLookLove.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438189524501474946" border="0" /></a><br />• 1 :: <a href="http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat380157&productId=0352_5222">AE Sequin Cami</a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span> • 2 :: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml%3B$sessionid$N3PFIFX1ROLR0CV0KRRQ5UQ;jsessionid=N3PFIFX1ROLR0CV0KRRQ5UQ?categoryId=A17&id=P243801">Bare Escentuals Buxon Liner</a> •<br />• 3 :: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml%3B$sessionid$N3PFIFX1ROLR0CV0KRRQ5UQ;jsessionid=N3PFIFX1ROLR0CV0KRRQ5UQ?categoryId=A17&id=P193931">Bare Escentuals Buffing Brushes</a> • 4 :: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml%3B$sessionid$N3PFIFX1ROLR0CV0KRRQ5UQ;jsessionid=N3PFIFX1ROLR0CV0KRRQ5UQ?id=P4176&categoryId=B70">LORAC Shadow in Moonstone</a> •<br />• 5 :: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P8001&categoryId=RPYMAL&navAction=jump">NARS Polish in Orgasm</a> • 6 :: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P202641&categoryId=B70">Too Faced Lip of Luxury in Nude</a> •<br />• 7 :: <a href="http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/onlineProductDisplay.vs?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=GJ-232418&page=1&cgname=OSFRGALLZZZ&rfnbr=5755">Victoria's Secret Eau de Parfum</a> • 8 :: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P255128&categoryId=B70">Sephora Cat Eye</a> •<br />• 9 :: <a href="http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat90038&productId=0357_5212">AE Chambray Western Shirt</a> • 10 :: <a href="http://www.sewlola.etsy.com/">Champagne Clutch by Sew Lola</a> •<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Happy Valentine's Day! ♥</span> Any plans for this romantic weekend?<br />Kevin and I are going out this evening, and I have found the perfect outfit, including the most gorgeous handmade clutch from <a href="http://www.sewlola.etsy.com/">Sew Lola</a>. I was looking for an excuse to buy it, so when I saw that the champagne silk was a perfect match to my top, it had to be mine! As some of you may know, I have bit of an addiction to <a href="http://www.sephora.com/">Sephora</a> beauty... Well I did my homework and found the perfect 'sexy yet subtle' makeup too! Dark black liner & lashes paired with champagne shadow, blushing cheeks and nude lips. Sephora offers a variety of kits to make it easy for you, and if you're going for the cat eye look- very retro glam- I recommend trying a gel liner. They're easier to work with than a pencil or liquid liner, and the brushes will help you get the perfect point. Just follow the natural curve of your eye lid, wing the brush up and out and then fill in! <span style="font-size:130%;">Voila!</span> <span style="font-size:180%;">xo Love, Mia</span><br /></div>Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12419870196234712489noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13317852.post-84226620368646373542010-02-12T14:42:00.008-05:002010-02-12T14:59:50.341-05:00Window Shopping :: Get Organized<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieMk6T9RvxTLurZAFy4txEL0_I7YVb-8syMFQbNx_G-78krX-qN7fO28pvwcpCfourknn9t-lx1AJsbel40Yp5tbVWD1_nJSp1M-Y68xAWWbhYduErKKEXRBlcYzLH0ihwAVrsdA/s1600-h/Get+Organized.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieMk6T9RvxTLurZAFy4txEL0_I7YVb-8syMFQbNx_G-78krX-qN7fO28pvwcpCfourknn9t-lx1AJsbel40Yp5tbVWD1_nJSp1M-Y68xAWWbhYduErKKEXRBlcYzLH0ihwAVrsdA/s400/Get+Organized.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437444883633261666" border="0" /></a><br />• 1 :: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/bearduck">Bear Duck Designs</a> • 2 :: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/NellieCorrine">Nellie Corrine</a> • 3 :: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/sewingmomma">Sewing Momma</a> •<br />• 4 :: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Nestlings">Nestlings</a> • 5 :: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ginia18">Ginia</a> • 6 :: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/bitsnpiecesetc">Bits n' Pieces</a> • 7 :: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ginia18">Ginia</a> •<br />• 8 :: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PaperPumpkin">Paper Pumpkin</a> • 9 :: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/downstairsDesigns">Downstairs Designs</a> • 10 :: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/halfpintsalvage">Half Pint Salvage</a> •<br /><br />I'm working on organizing my desk and work space at the moment,<br />perhaps it will be good enough that I can actually post some photos!<br />I'm looking for a unique ribbon dispenser for my packing & shipping<br />table right now- Let me know if you find one! ♥<br />Oh, and while I'm doing some spring cleaning, I'll be listing<br />some overstock supplies I have in <a href="http://www.beadsanonymous.etsy.com/">my destash shop</a> too!<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Love, Mia</span><br /></div>Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12419870196234712489noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13317852.post-33066479984072236522010-02-11T20:21:00.003-05:002010-02-11T20:48:17.805-05:00Mia, Where Have You Been?<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwhX_jVL10mtBq2Fs7yzHW39I_XGQ9-LqWMZjINzY5SO93zs1-P8qBVTf5S3nPL0I3-c4ZBiYY8puUJE5WAeadX0Qf7NTTUZhSKbIEi9JYufWaWLwqpnOSpwQCsfs5C6xJ29iQOw/s1600-h/1afishing.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwhX_jVL10mtBq2Fs7yzHW39I_XGQ9-LqWMZjINzY5SO93zs1-P8qBVTf5S3nPL0I3-c4ZBiYY8puUJE5WAeadX0Qf7NTTUZhSKbIEi9JYufWaWLwqpnOSpwQCsfs5C6xJ29iQOw/s400/1afishing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437167476235546898" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">"Gone Fishing"</span> <span style="font-size:85%;">by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jennybethphotography">Jenny Beth Photography</a></span><br /></div><br />I'm so sorry to have disappeared again. I miss you, my humble little blog! And on our first anniversary, too! Where does the time go? Life has just been getting in the way, and I put some of the simple, enjoyable things on the back burner for a bit. I took some time off from working after the Holidays and then I played catch up for another month after that... I still have more new goodies to list in the shop, though I've been adding hair pins and earrings like a maniac and have a record 165 items in <a href="http://www.miabeads.etsy.com/">my etsy shop</a> right now!<br /><br />I learned some new things; Flame working at a local studio to make my own glass beads, and the tip of the iceberg that is PhotoShop! I'm excited to start using what I've learned to add new features to my blog and photographs. I also spent some time organizing the chaos that is my "studio", and also my home. I am a natural clutter freak, but I have a hard time focusing in an utter disaster. There is still plenty to be done there as well, believe me, but that will have to wait until my poor toe is feeling better! So finally, I spent the last month visiting the doctors and dentists that I have avoided for some time, joined a gym, and am working on just feeling better and being healthier! Spring always makes me happy, energetic and motivates my creativity... so here's to hoping for lots of sunny days!<br /><br />I promise not to ignore you, blog. Though it may be unrealistic to say I will post 5 days a week (which then causes me to get overwhelmed and 'forget it' all together...) I do solemnly swear to post as frequently as possible, here and there, not because I have to... but because I enjoy it. Er, you, dear blog.<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Love, Mia</span>Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12419870196234712489noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13317852.post-71611743138348097242009-10-07T11:26:00.009-04:002009-10-07T12:34:30.632-04:00Love, Mia<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.miabeads.etsy.com"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 190px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhla2-S7iJbPMbRAjAZU_OlTI1n_Qb6mAFWe_x1RsjaBFTc505Teiv_IB8BaaSSS3Yw39VAn-WdHZMJV8Gs5w61DHeYlIL-HKHx4wthdY9Zti-QvC64w4ctNPddrN-6or1lkMWh8g/s200/LoveMiaLARGE.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389897133006429026" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Hello & Happy Wednesday!
