In January we were busy going to conferences and doing buying trips, and in March we had to temporarily close our vintage shop at Lula B's in Oak Cliff, Texas. But we have so many great items that we have purchased we didn't want them to sit in boxes, so we have finally done what a lot of you have been asking us to do - we now have shops online!<br />

One of the great things about working in Napa (besides all of those incredible wineries!) was having a little extra time here and there to do some thrifting.<br />
<br />
I was able to leave for the Oakland airport a little bit early, and discovered this small, but very quirky flea market in a parking lot in Berkley.<br />

There were lots of interesting finds, but this religious pc that was on a very dirty blanket with old shoes, belts and clothing immediately caught my attention.<br />
<br />
The gentleman had a great story and tried to convince me it was centuries old, which it wasn't, but I could tell he could use a hand up, and we negotiated a price that I thought was fair. When I asked to get his photo with the piece he started yelling at me because he thought that I wanted evidence if it was stolen. Actually, I thought he was as interesting as the treasure and I wanted to capture the moment.<br />

His friend convinced him that it would be OK, and I left with a great story, image, and memento. <br />

I hate shopping for shoes! I usually decide that it's time to look for a new pair when I have an event to go to and they feel fine in the store, but when I get them home and actually wear them they hurt like heck.<br />
<br />
Buying online didn't seem like a good option, but I loved all of the options that Amazon offered that were stylish, wide enough for my feet, and a great value. Plus many of the styles that they offer can be returned for free if they don't end up being the right choice. To help you find some of our favorites, we started our <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/lifestylist?listId=19C1GISZ6P13Z" target="_blank">Lifestylist Look</a> on our Amazon shop.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To say that we are in love with these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/lifestylist?listId=19C1GISZ6P13Z" target="_blank">great looking loafers</a> is an understatement! It's hard to believe these are $18, cowhide leather, and are offered with Amazon Prime. And what's really incredible is that these are soooo comfortable! They are now our official travel shoes, and I can't believe how many times people have stopped me to comment on these and ask where I got them. They have an artisan look that makes them look much more expensive than they really are.<br />
<br />

At this price, I would have been happy to wear them a couple of times and then buy another pair but after literally wearing them coast to coast, and being stuck in a snowstorm in them they look as good as new! Fortunately, they come in a large selection of great trending colors, so I now have choices when black isn't the best option.<br />
<br />
If you have wide feet or high insteps like we do these still are a great choice - they fit like a glove and have conformed to my quirky feet.<br />

We also found these fun shoes that have color and texture that are a fun way to perk up a basic look. They also come in an assortment of colors and designs and they are as comfortable as they look but have an artistic style that we love. These and some options are on our <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/lifestylist?listId=19C1GISZ6P13Z" target="_blank">Amazon Lifestylist Shop</a> as well.<br />

We love visiting the horsey areas of New York, especially when there is a tailgating party involved.<br />
<br />
It's almost time for the Genesee Valley Hunt Races, and sampling all of the tailgating entries is almost as fun as watching the horses on the timber course.<br />
<br />
Even if you don't own a horse you can enjoy an equestrian lifestyle - we love the collection this tailgater put together - what do you think - are you ready for a day at the races?Lifestylist®http://www.blogger.com/profile/04184547526304221944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430200408034293752.post-11266521063232414292017-04-03T01:32:00.000-07:002017-04-03T01:32:17.967-07:00Round Top Antique Show Buying Trip<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have been hearing about the Round Top Antique Show for years, and decided that it was time to check it out. Fortunately we are incredibly busy so we had to make it a day trip, but it was well worth it.<br />

We have said more than once that pigs would fly before we ever opened up another shop. Well, meet Lula - the flying pig that is now flying over our new shop at <a href="http://lulabsdallas.com/" target="_blank">Lula B's in Oak Cliff, Texas</a>.<br />

Their stellar reputation along with the fact I wouldn't have to be there every day made me decide to give it a try, and of course as soon as we opened, everyone who came by wanted to buy Lula!<br />

Curated collections are something we enjoy putting together, and find that people appreciate being able to purchase a group of items that all work so well together. This week we have an extensive Disney / Mickey Mouse collection along with a horse / polo series that includes and English made saddle and bridle, some great cat ceramics, and we are working on some fun jewelry that we'll be sharing in the front of the store.<br />

<br />
<br />
Happy Memorial Day! I've been fortunate enough to be working in the Finger Lakes region of New York and between helping people LifeStyle their vacation homes and working on redesigning some clubhouses for <a href="http://www.riedman.com/" target="_blank">The Riedman Companies</a> I've been able to sneak in some shopping at the local flea markets, Goodwills and thrift shops.<br />
<br />
Today I was at the <a href="http://www.eastavonfleamarket.com/" target="_blank">Avon Flea Market</a> and it was so hot and muggy a lot of the vendors left early but a glass deviled egg plate caught my attention and always in stylist mode I scoped out the rest of the tables and found this!<br />

At first I had no idea what to do with it but it was interesting so I made him a very low offer - less than half. After offending him I was resigned to walking away but after I made it about 50 feet I realized this was truly something special so I paid his price. It turns out that these were creamers - probably from the 40's or 50's. They are probably about 2 oz each and cute as can be.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking about using them for the Prosecco Bar that I have been wanting to do at brunch - these will be perfect to fill with various fruit, simple syrups and purees to add.<br />
<br />
What items have you found that you have used in a different way?<br />

People ask me why I fly from Dallas to Rochester, NY twice a year for the <a href="http://www.rmhcrochester.org/household-sale">Ronald McDonald Household Sale</a>, and I think this is a great example of what keeps me coming back.<br />
<br />
You never know what you will find, or what you think you will need :) This year nothing caught my eye until I went into the boutique area and there was an entire collection of demitasse cups. Not something I'm usually in the market for, but I knew I would be doing a lot of food styling for <a href="http://www.joannebondy.com/">Chef Joanne Bondy</a> for her new <a href="http://www.stocksandbondy.com/">Stocks & Bondy</a> shop and these would be perfect for styling her broths.<br />
<br />
I was able to buy 30 of these - each one more beautiful and interesting than the next, and then the trick would be to get them back to <a href="http://www.dallasdweller.com/">Dallas</a>. After buying a ton of bubble wrap I pulled over into a parking lot and wrapped each one carefully, and then carried them with me on the plane in my camera and computer bags. All 30 made it back, and yesderday they made their debut!<br />

The Summer <a href="http://www.lasvegasmarket.com/">Las Vegas Market</a> has so many great finds and ideas it's going to take me months to sort through everything I brought back. <br />

One of the trends that was showing up in a lot of the showrooms was anything Equestrian. We loved these vintage stirrups that were mounted on an on leather book - what a great statement for an entry or office. We found this collection at <a href="http://phcollection.com/">Peninsula Home Collections</a>.

<a href="http://www.ebay.com/">eBay</a> has really changed how people buy antiques and how they discover the value of items. Anyone can get online and get an idea of what something is worth, but there are still some deals to be found out there.<br />
<br />
Last week I was in Geneseo NY finishing up some beautiful apartment communities for <a href="http://www.thehammocksatgeneseo.com/">The Hammocks at Geneseo</a> and decided to stop in and see if there was anything interesting at the Goodwill store. Geneseo is in hunt country, so I was really suprised when I found this vintage folding card table with a hunt scene on it for $14.00!<br />
<br />
I've already put it to good use when I was grilling on my patio. Guess I need to go to these store more often - not only did I find some great deals all of the money that I spent on them goes to help a very worthwhile organization.Lifestylist®http://www.blogger.com/profile/04184547526304221944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430200408034293752.post-30940434705620259102013-11-29T07:15:00.001-08:002017-02-08T20:32:04.227-08:00Happy Thanksgiving!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My
sister and her family live in Edmond, Oklahoma and are one of the lucky
families that have a storm shelter. Tornadoes touched down near them
last weekend but what happened to them was nothing like what happened to
the residents of Moore, Oklahoma. <br />
<br />
Last Summer they
had an unbelievable experience - they packed up trunks and suitcases
full of shoes, clothes, blankets, and other needed items and headed to <a href="http://www.maishainternational.org/">Maisha International Orphanage</a>
- an amazing labor of love in Kisumu, Kenya. The stories and images
they brought back are life changing, and it's a great reminder of how a
small donation or offering can be life changing to these kids. <br />
<br />
The beautiful souls at Maisha wanted to do something for their friends in Oklahoma City and Moore, and made this <a href="http://youtu.be/BFrKcZDyRj0">video</a>
as a way of showing their love and support. What a great reminder this
Memorial Day weekend how precious life is and we all need to live ours
to the fullest.Lifestylist®http://www.blogger.com/profile/04184547526304221944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430200408034293752.post-20124446247356476972013-05-21T13:05:00.001-07:002013-05-21T13:05:05.187-07:00Doing The Most Good: Salvation Army<br />

It's
heartbreaking to watch the news today and see the devastation in Moore,
Oklahoma. My sister and her family live in Edmond, OK and I have
clients that have land lease communities very close to where the tornado
touched down. Sam - my nephew and favorite Jr <a data-mce-href="http://lifestylist.com" href="http://lifestylist.com/">Lifestylist</a>
spent the afternoon in their storm shelter a few days ago having a
picnic with his pets -I'm so glad that he made sure they were safe as
well as his family.<br />
People always think that "<a data-mce-href="http://www.trailerdiva.com" href="http://www.trailerdiva.com/">trailer parks</a>" or "<a data-mce-href="http://www.mobilehomesblog.com" href="http://www.mobilehomesblog.com/">mobile home parks</a>" are the worst places to be during a disaster like this, but that just isn't true. I was glad to hear that the <a data-mce-href="http://www.yescommunities.com" href="http://www.yescommunities.com/">Yes! Communities</a>
in this area only sustained hail and wind damage and no one was hurt.
Their on-site managers made sure that everyone got to where they needed
to be and are now busy helping them get emergency supplies and repairs.
That's one of the advantages of living in a well run <a data-mce-href="http://www.landleasecommunity.com" href="http://www.landleasecommunity.com/">land lease community</a> - there's always someone there to help.<br />
If you would like to help the people of Moore that were affected by the storm, I encourage you to donate to the <a data-mce-href="https://donate.salvationarmyusa.org/uss/eds/aok?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=paid%2Bsearch" href="https://donate.salvationarmyusa.org/uss/eds/aok?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=paid%2Bsearch">Salvation Army</a>.

It's looking like a very busy year for this <a data-mce-href="http://lifestylist.com" href="http://lifestylist.com/">Lifestylist®</a> - I'm already working on trips to Michigan, New York, Las Vegas and Florida. All of these are to work with clients, and I'm always very frugal as to where I stay when I'm on the road.<br />
The first destination for me when I'm trying to get my travel reservations in order is <a data-mce-href="http://travelocity.com" href="http://travelocity.com/">Travelocity.</a> This has been such a great time saver for me, and I've discovered really cool hotels I never would have known (or Gnome) about without their help. I was fortunate enough to spend some quality time with that cute little guy sporting the pointy red at the past few years at <a data-mce-href="http://savordallas.com" href="http://savordallas.com/">Savor Dallas</a>, and he shared some great tips with me.<br />
One of the best ways to save is to book everything together on their site. Not only can it save you money, it's easier to keep up with to have your reservations all in one place.<br />
Thanks to their help, I discovered what I consider the best travel deal I've ever found. I needed a last minute room in the Tampa Bay area so I looked on Travelocity to see what I could find, and there it was - <a data-mce-href="http://postcardinn.com" href="http://postcardinn.com/">The Postcard Inn</a>. Right on the beach, cool and funky, and amazing restaurant, Snack Shack and bar right on site, and under $75.00 a night! I liked it so much my daughter and grandkids joined me there to celebrate my birthday.<br />
The next time you are thinking about heading out of town and experience something different, try Travelocity and trust their suggestions. Hopefully you'll be able to find your own Postcard Inn to enjoy.Lifestylist®http://www.blogger.com/profile/04184547526304221944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430200408034293752.post-20324787717753882432011-12-25T19:45:00.001-08:002011-12-25T19:45:06.588-08:00Happy Holidays From The Lifestylist®<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRuEbU-FlUSrWU3ZP3LSuklZipSM1jbMKkDgZlkKPEctLZdxiomZkrlHwGgg35ocKC54e9Y25aCnrKcQzmQ6M5jrlagWw3fsL5t-_JLViERIYY7tXRbBsR9KINpKRlh_pIFPg5-9GLEEw/s1600/XMAS2011.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRuEbU-FlUSrWU3ZP3LSuklZipSM1jbMKkDgZlkKPEctLZdxiomZkrlHwGgg35ocKC54e9Y25aCnrKcQzmQ6M5jrlagWw3fsL5t-_JLViERIYY7tXRbBsR9KINpKRlh_pIFPg5-9GLEEw/s320/XMAS2011.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>Lifestylist®http://www.blogger.com/profile/04184547526304221944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430200408034293752.post-55657514560894130672011-12-04T12:48:00.001-08:002011-12-04T12:48:35.091-08:00Timeless Design: Patriot Homes 2002<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjViwmNwWtQ33wL_ZU3bh2HMqOFUSneWQScYwRdaH_sL2SaAGgus5OKSw4WsJLAeuUYSctJKYcqvNfOKD8Qbdr98MlK76UPDPKgeXhTD9kePyje558W0bntS9insoPh1u3Bg4BPqSMCkZZl/s1600/Patriot+EM+Living.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjViwmNwWtQ33wL_ZU3bh2HMqOFUSneWQScYwRdaH_sL2SaAGgus5OKSw4WsJLAeuUYSctJKYcqvNfOKD8Qbdr98MlK76UPDPKgeXhTD9kePyje558W0bntS9insoPh1u3Bg4BPqSMCkZZl/s320/Patriot+EM+Living.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><a data-mce-href="http://www.trailerdiva.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Patriot-EM-Kit.jpg" href="http://www.trailerdiva.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Patriot-EM-Kit.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-220" data-mce-src="http://www.trailerdiva.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Patriot-EM-Kit-300x199.jpg" height="199" src="http://www.trailerdiva.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Patriot-EM-Kit-300x199.jpg" title="Patriot EM Kit" width="300" /></a><br />

Trendy design details and decors tend to cycle out quickly and leave the owner with a home that looks and feels dated.<br />
In 2002 I was hired to be the <a data-mce-href="http://lifestylistdesign.com" href="http://lifestylistdesign.com/">Lifestylist®</a> for <a data-mce-href="http://patriothomesblog.com" href="http://patriothomesblog.com/">Patriot Homes </a>- an amazing factory built housing company based in Elkhart, Indiana. I had worked on factory built homes in the past, but never at this scale. This is one of the first homes that I <a data-mce-href="http://lifestyled.co" href="http://lifestyled.co/">LifeStyled</a> for them -it was at The Louisville show for their EnergyMate division. Jumping ahead 10 years, I'd be happy to show or live in this home again - it was well designed, the floorplan was open and perfect for entertaining, and the island was larger than anything else being shown at that time.<br />
Be sure to notice the pendant lighting. I know we were one of the first to show them and we were ahead of our. All of our lighting was part of a partnership I initiated with <a data-mce-href="http://homedepot.com" href="http://homedepot.com/">Home Depot</a>.<br />
When you look at this home, it doesn't look like a factory built home, or a modular home - it just looks and feels like a well designed home no matter how it got to the site. Who knew even 10 years ago we were designing the future of housing construction? Factory built homes are definitely here to stay.Lifestylist®http://www.blogger.com/profile/04184547526304221944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430200408034293752.post-62249414138275312442011-12-03T09:21:00.001-08:002011-12-03T09:21:58.671-08:00Lifestylist® Breakfast Biscuits<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpya_HSAKGliIQFUPfABXvPTXRS-TNzdhaCqKihyphenhyphenVOOTOSsUM6Vr7KNp_nD9x-jBo-815NnPsO8guAdPp94wP39PU4_ZMwNS9CRo4cRvbmBfriWya852sMJxTKdgf9HJQNlvb899swzO1G/s1600/BIS_0758.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpya_HSAKGliIQFUPfABXvPTXRS-TNzdhaCqKihyphenhyphenVOOTOSsUM6Vr7KNp_nD9x-jBo-815NnPsO8guAdPp94wP39PU4_ZMwNS9CRo4cRvbmBfriWya852sMJxTKdgf9HJQNlvb899swzO1G/s640/BIS_0758.JPG" width="424" /></a></div><a data-mce-href="http://www.lazycookblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BIS_0780.jpg" href="http://www.lazycookblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BIS_0780.jpg"><img alt="" data-mce-src="http://www.lazycookblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BIS_0780-1024x678.jpg" height="475" src="http://www.lazycookblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BIS_0780-1024x678.jpg" title="BIS_0780" width="717" /></a>Anyone who reads this blog knows this <a data-mce-href="http://lifestylist.com" href="http://lifestylist.com/">Lifestylist®</a> is not keen on mixes, but I'm going to make an exception with this recipe.<br />
Breakfast is a hard meal for me, and I know that my daughter has a tough time getting something healthy into my grandkids before they all head out to school. This is the <a data-mce-href="http://lifestylistfood.com" href="http://lifestylistfood.com/">LifestylistFood®</a> version of a recipe I found on <a data-mce-href="http://pinterest.com/lifestylist" href="http://pinterest.com/lifestylist">Pinterest</a>, and I'm crazy about it! It's easy enough that the kids can make them themselves. By adding the ham and cheese you get some nutrients that can hold you over until lunch, and these are so moist you don't need butter or anything else on them. Be sure not to substitute something else for the buttermilk - it gives these the moistness and kick that makes these so special.<br />
<b>Breakfast Biscuits</b><br />
Ingredients:<br />
1/4 cup lean ham, sliced and chopped<br />
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese<br />
3/4 cup buttermilk<br />
1 1/2 cups Bisquick®<br />
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put all ingredients into a bowl and stir just until combined. Scoop into buttered muffin tins, and bake 15-18 minutes or until tops are lightly browned.Lifestylist®http://www.blogger.com/profile/04184547526304221944noreply@blogger.com0
