What happens in Vegas…

lvsignf.gifSo this time next week I will be on my way to Las Vegas:D ! It’s been awhile since I’ve been there, and even though I am staying at one of my favorite hotels (Caesar’s), and I have plenty to do (Bunco Championships :) ), I want to know if you have any secrets, tips and favorite places. I am more of a gambling/drinking tequila kinda girl, and clubs aren’t really my thing, so give me your best! My only must-do at this point is to stop by Vosges to get a…are you ready for this?- a bacon chocolate bar – for this chick … Ok, and one for me too, because really? Bacon? AND Chocolate? In one bar? It’s like a pre-menstrual woman’s dream!

I dragged out my sewing machine this morning, and I am just waiting for the Crafty Fairy (more like free time fairy) to visit. I have some aprons to make, and I need to make a case for my (NEW!) laptop – have I introduced you all to her yet? Oy! (Note to self-add camera batteries to shopping list)Looks like I have a busy weekend ahead!

Before I go, you MUST check out the Tracy Porter website  – it is full of absolutely swoon-worthy clothes, linens, and other home goodies…I LOVE that it is so girly, but not so pink.

Links and other goodies

Our very own EllynAnne has one of her Aprons in the March issue of Vogue – check out page 530!

Lana has an Apron shop on Ebay, and makes the cutest girly Aprons!

One of my favorite Apronistas, Modern June, is making adorable bags from the same oilcloth she makes her aprons and splat mats – how brilliant is that for a diaper bag??

Sara of Marvelous Mouse Designs has a cute new Apron in her Etsy shop:


It’s a fun, flirty, retro-inspired half apron made with high-quality designer
cotton and vintage trims. It also features cute 2″ ruffle hems on both the over
and under layers, as well as generous pockets to stash your secret recipie cards
and long waist ties for a custom and comfortable fit. It’s one-of-a-kind
and ready-to-ship. Worldwide shipping is always free in my Etsy shop

Is it a belt or an Apron? YOU decide!(I LOVE the pocket idea!)

Stuff I’m loving this week:

Undomestic Diva shows how to make a Carmel Macchiatto – you know, just in case Starbucks decides to do something silly, like close for 3 hours…

Krispy Kreme Cheesecake – ’nuff said

Ever wanted one of those cute fabric-covered Bulletin Boards? Fresh Vintage shows you how…

Apron-mad Modern June is making the cutest Oilcloth bags – is there anything she DOESN’T do?

Did you know they sold homemade edibles on Etsy too? Here is an interview with FatDaddyBakeShop - those cupcakes look divine!

Two of my favorite shows – Dirt and The Riches – have new seasons starting on FX in the next week or two…I love Eddie Izzard!

I have been getting to know some of my other Blissfully Domestic Divas, and there are some talented women I am keeping company with!!

…and here is the current song my brain can’t get rid of, and is it just me or does this remind you of Missing Persons??
