Hay Heaped High
How could I resist? I seem to have monogram madness lately. I keep coming across wonderful items with "H" 's on them. Much to my pleasure. This sweet vintage page from an ABC book got my attention while searching for other vintage pictures.

Proud Mom
My twelve year old son was Daddy Warbucks in the Jr. version of Annie last week. The family watched while wiping tears of pride off our cheeks....
Bravo Everett! Bravo!
Magic in TV Land
I have always liked old Westerns, the sets were always great. Log cabins, Mom in the kitchen cooking something. Pretty Hollywood Western dresses, table clothes, and families together saying grace. Lots of enamelware, a dog...oh, and a rocker. I guess...I really loved them? 
One of my favorite shows was Big Valley. They were a rich Hollywood T.V. Western family. I always wanted to be Audra. She was perfect. Perfect hair, great makeup ( you know like all the cowgirls) and she had amazing clothes to be rescued in. Oh, and handsome guys around her all the time.
Why not surround yourself with things that make you feel like a kid? Even if it's just a cookie...

Here at HiHo we have one room that celebrates my love for things Western: the Homespun and Hearth Room. These shots are from the HiHo web site. http://www.hihohome.com/ I always try to offer unique old and new items with a Western flair. 
This McCoy cookie jar is in perfect condition and will be sure to make any gal feel like a Hollywood Cowgirl when eating cookies from it!

A FUN DAY OFF
A trip to the Woodbury Commons Outlet Stores turned into a series of pink moments. 
The first indication was this store named Pink. The second was the window of pink at LaPerla.
Yes... sometimes I travel away from my home base, to look for inspiration. On this particular adventure my older daughter Whitney came along. ( She is home from school on her Spring break.) Once entering Betsy Johnson's outlet store there was no stopping the pink fashion show. 
Notice the floors and the dressing rooms were even pink! I love this old McCalls pattern with Audrey Hepburn, she looks like she's enjoying modeling the pink dress as much as Whitney ....
OK, how do I explain this last picture? My husband was eager to pose for this Pink Saturday blog post when I requested. He had worn his pink shirt to work and I thought to ask. It was his idea to grab an object of pink to hold for the shot. Turning the shoot into a giggle fest. He was a good sport. Maybe I'll get more of the family to join in next week? Until then be sure to join Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/

Everything's Better With a Bow
We like to have an assortment of ribbon around at all times. We even have special HiHo ribbon on our price tags. 
Placing bows on merchandise in the shop helps customers to visualize the item as a gift. This vintage table top children's dresser would be a great jewelry box and a super gift. 
Featuring a bow on this bust makes it playful and relaxed. 
Serving up treats with a bow makes it so much more festive. 
Who can resist a teddy with a bow? 
It's because we believe everything is better with a bow, that we finish every gift sale with tissue, ribbon and a bow. 
The girls and I wanted to remind you again to vote for HiHo in the March issue of Hudson Valley Magazine for best Christmas in the Valley. We were out and about today and the issue is available everywhere! (Be sure to vote for at least 25 businesses or your vote won't count.) We will also remind you to comment on post..100+ to be in HiHo's give-a-way!
The next time you're stepping out ask yourself, would this look better with a bow?
