a happy birthday and leatha for lovelies

sweetest shan turns another year lovelier with a glass of sangria in hand. flanked by the pretties, halz and shosh.  (all my pics with heads were toooo dark, but you can still see the hottness). 

thing that makes me smile no. 7

this deli case at terilli's. it's looked exactly like this (maybe a little more dusty and faded over the years) since the first time i visited this land of delicious crab claws.

jay jacks estate

over the weekend, we had one of those rare and perfect estate sale experiences that is so fantastic when it happens, it keeps you estate-saling one crappy sale after the next in hopes of scoring another  illusive jackpot.  jay jacks was a women's apparel designer here in dallas.  he had private clients and outfitted the "DALLAS" crew in the 80s as well as sold to Neiman Marcus.  his wife's wardrobe was pretty great and i left with some special finds, but cesar...  cesar hit the motherload.  mr. jacks not only had impeccable taste, but he also just happened to be the exact same size as my boy.  one gorgeous piece after the next fit like a glove.  we left with many armfuls.  

mr. jacks had teensy tiny feet.  these alligator wingtips left with me.  

cute sheets and a pair of these great tables.  stay tuned for a before and after post...

this great plexi magazine cart before and after soap, water, super glue.

i see succulents in this great planter/bowl.  the other is a lighter...

fancypants ice bucket.  champagne, anyone?

this painting came from another sale and the little creamer guy we found a cute resale shop.

texas weekend outing no. 3: chupacabra's + motorcycles

sunday was the perfect amount of notalot.  breakfast tacos at home, a little lounging, a little coffee sipping, a little planning, a lot of laughing.  we finally made it out of the house around 3 pm.  rode around on the motorcycle for a while with no destination in mind.  stopped at chupacabra's (halz, it's not gone!  just moved to the "gas" station on the corner that doesn't sell gas) and had an agua de pepino.  it was frothy and fresh and delish.


rode around a little more and stopped for more grown up (ish) drinks at vickery park.  actually, not that grown up - cherry vodka limeade something or other.  so yummy and refreshing and pretty with that lime wedge and cherry swimming around in the glass.  dangerously reminiscent of a prom drink.  ricky joined us and we took a fantastic little ride around the lake before heading home to meet the girls.


a perfect sunday.

texas weekend outing no. 2: the texas rose

lovely ms. erin celebrates her birthday at the texas rose in wilmer, tx every year.  sadly, i've never been able to make it before last night.  i've been missing out!

the birthday girl and paul

hot guy at bar

serious love triangle

singin' his heart out!

texas weekend outing no. 1: guerrilla taco rave

every once in a while, i get smacked square in the face with texas pride.  lots of times, i bemoan the lack of shopping and art and culture and whatnot here, but i never did leave.  my family is here and it's easy living. no matter how many times i've tried to deny it over the years, i'm a texan.  through and through.

this weekend has been a texas weekend.  below, the first case in point.

guerrilla taco rave.
description from the invitation:  "It's in a mechanic's shop behind the main post office on Sylvan and I-30!!!  it's great fun there on Firday nights, full of families and folks leaving on the buses to Mexico next door. Everyone is dining under jacked up cars grooving to cumbia. It was hopping last week! They have tacos al pastor (pork) on the spit and also some beef tacos, beans, etc."

so much fun!

diorama-o-rama madness

maybe you've heard the word on the street or maybe you haven't yet caught wind, but rumor has it there is some diorama fantasticness coming to a house party near you.  if i were you, i'd check the perts by clicking here.

here's a little somethin-somethin to look over while you're letting all of that palmolive.

tardy weekend post no. 2: chelsea's cute

i like chelsea handler.  she makes me laugh.  have you seen chelsea lately?  i think she would probably make you laugh too.  she's been touring to promote her new book, Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea and we caught her at the grapevine signing and smiling.  normally, i really don't care for the grapevine - i always feel i need a shower on leaving - but friday night was fun!  this is how it went:

c: (reading from the card on which her assistant wrote my name) jennifer, well you're cute!

j: no, you!

c: no, YOU!

and, break. 

tardy weekend post no. 1: cesaaar's bday party

it was just the cutest evite is all.  that's why i went with the pirate theme.  and i'm the kinda gal that really thrives with a theme.  for those interested, party city has the best pirate gear - eye patches, earrings, ginormous treasure chest candles, skull and crossbone flags, inflatable parrot... you know, your typical, always-in-season, booty.  at daaarn good prices, too.

anyhow,

lots o' pirates

the belmont patio was lovely as always

the birthday pirate appears to be having dirty thoughts about his wench
