The cutest little lady came into the shop on New Year’s Eve and gave me TONS of ideas on how to Re-LOVE all kinds of items… she bought old BINGO Cards to make journals, and a yard stick for making a shelf… but my favorite of all her ideas were for TROPHIES. So I though I’d take a gander on the www for a few other TROPHY IDEAS.

For a couple of years we have been gathering ideas for things you should always look out for while at garage sales, auctions, flea markets, etc. We call it our Flea-Market Shopping List. Trophies are definitely going to the top of the list!!

As always I was amazed at the grand ideas out there… This bottle stopper {ABOVE} is my absolute favorite idea!! Very clever, and a good price. By the time I bought the trophy, figured out how to make it into this, etc, etc… well you know, JUST BUY IT!!

These trophies-turned-organizers {ABOVE & BELOW} are absolutely BRILLIANT. Be sure to check out this ETSY SHOP for loads of great items for your shopping pleasure!!

I don’t know where or how or why this trophy arbor would be re-created, but it’s a heck-of-an-idea and maybe one of y’all will have a good reason where or how or why.

And finally this GIGANTIC silver trophy turned bird house. I don’t know where the heck you’ll ever come up with a trophy like this one but when you do you should find a way to enjoy it every day… sharing it with your feathered friends is a great way to do that!!

Last Spring 11 was my first year to help organize Weston’s annual Spring Antique Show… inspired by women like Serena from Farm Chicks, Ki from Junk Bonanza, and of course my favorite Texas show, Marburger Farm, we’re a long way away from making Country Living’s Top Ten, but this is the 30th year of the show and it has deep roots. I am so excited to be working on it again and thinking of new ways to stretch and grow the event.
This is, of course, an invitation to attend. Our little town of Weston has loads to offer… a Main Street full of shops, eight B&Bs, a historic hotel, phenonomenal restaurants, a pub 5 stories underground, 3 local wineries… plus we’re only 15 minutes from the Kansas City airport. There is no reason for you not to take a road trip, plane trip, bus or train. Just get your booty here April 27 & 28 to check out our sweet little town + the ANTIQUE SHOW!!
IF YOU ARE A JUNKER & WANT TO SELL YOUR GOODS!!!! Click HERE for an app… it’s super inexpensive to set up and we always have a great turn out with lotsa’ buyers.
My last temptation is the offer of Cactus Creek’s 3rd Annual Tamale Party… this year we are encouraging tamale attire {whatever the heck that means}… we’ll have fresh tamales, local beer & wine, live music & loads of fun. Please join us. we’d be so happy to have you!! xoxo, fancy

Nothing says TOUGH GIRL like a leather bracelet… truth is they’re everywhere {I’ve even seen them in ~ insert gasp ~ Wal Mart}, but there is a distinctive difference between the “real-thing” and the less-than-real-thing. One of my favorite designers is Karen Kell {below}… her leather products are out of this world ~ be sure to check out her ETSY store HERE ~ shoes, jewelry, bags, they are all super-fine.
I’m also really loving the leather bracelets & goods from Michelle Verbeeck {below}… these Medical ID bracelets are very hip & necessary, and all of her other goods feature significant messages, or you can have a custom one made. Love them!!
One more to love on before I have to open the shop & get to workin’… this is from Colin Francis. His work is more masculine & edgy ~ great look for the dude you love {ahem, Valentines is just a hop skip & jump awaaay}.

At the Cactus Creek Shop we are very lucky to have big windows right on Main St. We always try to do a unique & different window display but in 2012 I want to push us a little bit further to create better and better window displays. I started this one on New Years Day and for the first time made a Pinterest Board to inspire me. I’ve posted all of the inspirational pics below… we took a smidgen from each of the photos and created our own look. More pics of the windows {and other pics of store} are HERE.

This past summer a gal {Tina Binette} came into the Cactus Creek Shop & I immediately noticed her bracelet & necklace. Upcycled jewelry is all the rage but hers really stood out to me. It was clear that each piece took a lot of time, and that a lot of thought had been put into it. Heart and soul, too.
She was kind enough to send me one of her pieces {a bracelet titled ‘finding hope & peace in a screwed up world’} and I wear it almost every day. Ok, I wear it every single day because no one wants hope & peace {in a screwed up world} more than me. Tina recently completed her website and I wanted to share it with you…
The name of her business is ELEMINTZ ~ Where all the elements come together and I just think she’s the cat’s meow. In addition to the work shown on her website Tina can also do custom pieces honoring the people or things you love the most. The day we met at the shop she had on a necklace & bracelet to honor her son’s friend, a soldier who had been killed in action. They were very touching and very hip {aka not cheesey}.
Tina is a start up like we all are and I hope you’ll check out her site, make a purchase, share it with everyone you know!!! Thanks Tina for the wonderful bracelet, you’re the BEST!!! xofancy

The official color of 2012 has been announced by Pantone… and the winner is Tangerine Tango {let’s just call it orange-ish to keep it simple}. I love orange-ish. It goes with black or brown, it makes a big statement in a room as a paint color, and it looks better than you would think on a red-head-like-me. But this little ROUND UP isn’t about orange-ish.
It’s about YELLOW. Another color that is often associated with a food category when described as ‘mustard yellow’. I started my search for the Yellow Boots when I stumbled on No. 4 {ABOVE} from Need Supply Co. My mind began to race through every outfit in my closet and HOW good these little yellow booo-ties would go just perfectly all winter long. Then I thought yellow could go a long way in any style, so here you go, a YELLOW BOOT ROUND UP. enjoy. {and yes, I know that yellow is soooo last year, but i still like it so there.}
