<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For awhile I have had a goal to host a Audrey Hepburn movie marathon at my house. Leah and I have always said that <i>Breakfast at Tiffany's </i>is a movie to watch in order to understand life. So last weekend seemed as good a day as any to have a girly movie brunch. With a little planning ahead, I was able to pre-make nearly everything and just do some baking in the morning. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Friday before, Leah and i fired up the hot glue gun in order to make her famous sleep mask (photoed below) using felt and gold fringe from Hobby Lobby. The yogurt parfaits were made the night before in stemless wine glasses. (Such a great idea found from <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/MandyLHornsby/">Pinterest!</a>) The hash brown casserole was put together, placed in the refrigerator, and baked fresh that morning. I stuffed crescent rolls with semi-sweet chunks in order to make mock pan au chocolats. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> The three of us met up at 9 A.M., and ate while watching <i>Breakfast at Tiffany's.</i> We watched <i>Paris When it Sizzles </i>and <i>Charade</i> for a Audrey filled day. I forgot how long the movies were, and hope to have another movie morning Sunday sometime soon! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This summer on a five week adventure around Western Europe, I had the opportunity to visit a vintage lovers dream. On a bright and warm Sunday morning we took the metro to a Parisian Flea Market. We visited Marche Vernaison off of the Port de Clignancourt metro stop. By stepping off the busy street we entered a world of shabby chic beauty. There was stalls of all kinds ranging from the rare and random. The morning slipped by exploring the shady alleyways and crowded booths.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u><b>Tips for visiting Marche Vernaison:</b></u></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Plan ahead! The market is only open Saturday to Sunday 9 A.M. - 6 P.M. and Mondays from 10 A.M. - 6 P.M. We had to prioritize our trip because other Paris attractions are also only open on certain days as well.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wear comfortable shoes. The market is a labyrinth of stalls and streets. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ignore the booths you will see on the way to Marche Vernaison they are loaded with random items such as cheap cell phone covers and knock off clothing. Keep walking to find the good stuff.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I ran some errands around D'Iberville since it is a holiday. I was excited to discover that the Goodwill had a book sale going on today. The deal was ten books for a dollar! My book buying problem has begun to reach legendary proportions over the past year. I just cannot say no to ten cent books....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I got the following three books for my own personal enjoyment. Visiting Verona in northern Italy is on my bucket list, and I could not pass up the compilation to the movie <i>Letter's to Juliet </i>about the legendary balcony from Shakespeare's play. I also got a creative writing guide book that I hope will give me some good advice and prompts. Laura Conrad's book <i>Style</i> has been suggested on several beauty channels on Youtube. This copy is in excellent condition and would make a great coffee table book. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Best wishes for 2015 out into the wide yonder of the internet! It is crazy how quickly 2014 came, and went. This year turned out to be a year of milestones. Turning 30, backpacking Europe, adopting a hedgehog, and nearly making it to my goal size all happened this year. I hope to keep up with the same momentum in 2015. Anyone who has followed me for long enough on either of my blogs knows that I always attempt New Year's Resolutions. Sometimes I am successful, but most of the time I am not. However, this does not stop me from trying to improve.</span></div>

</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I also plan to continue trying to mark off items on my 100 in 1001 list. I am looking forward to in 2015 is a road trip to the Florida Keys this Summer with my husband. There may also be a few more prizes in store...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> This summer, my dear friend Linda got married in her new hometown of Russellville, Arkansas. After a eight hour road trip with my dad, I found a cute little town right outside the Ozarks. There are great little shops all around. There were two businesses that were treasure trove for the vintage and antique enthusiast. First a store in the walkable downtown area called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/funkyjunkyar">Funky Junky Antiques</a>. Further down South Arkansas Avenue is an affiliate store called Funky Town Mall which has both handmade as well as vintage wares. They were both so fun, even my dad enjoyed looking around! I have meant to take a bit of time to share some of the goodies I had a chance to admire in June. </span><br />

After I left for my trip this summer life has just taken over and swept me away. All of a sudden I am waking up on Thanksgiving morning realizing I have not posted in over five months! The holidays always put me in a reflective mood, even one as overlooked as Thanksgiving. A note on my personal history, it was this week five years ago that Edward and I moved into our house, and he proposed! This is also the time Leah and I start harassing each other about goals unmet, and create new ones for the upcoming year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> So here are a few things that I have been up to since my last posts in June....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We did some traveling:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I mentioned our upcoming adventures abroad, but I also took a road trip with my dad to Russellville, Arkansas for a dear friends wedding. A week later, I boarded a plane for a five week European tour. (There is that number five again! Must be at theme...) I also took a few weekend trips this Fall one with Edward for a kayak fishing tournament in Pensacola, Florida and a trip with Leah to Lafayette over this break. It is great to get out and go! I hope to feature some of my trips in some Throwback Thursday posts.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some great vintage finds are now appearing on my Etsy shop by the same name <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheSassyStarfish">The Sassy Starfish</a>. They are mostly collections of vintage decorative book sets. However, I also have listed collectible cookbooks, children's books, and other fun finds. I hope to expand the shop into other fun items in the upcoming months. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Had some legendary thrift store hauls: </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been in need of new clothes for awhile. Especially clothes to wear to work. I am the ultimate cheapskate, and always feel guilty paying too much money for clothes. More recently, I have begun to go to thrift stores several time a week to look for clothes especially. It has been fruitful! I have found both name brands, cute vintage pieces, and stylish items as well. It has really helped bolster my confidence as well as my savings. It is nice to have nice clothes that fit correctly. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most recently, Edward and I added a new little member to our house. I got a sweet little hedgehog as a pet. I originally wanted a bunny, but had always admired cute hedgehogs on Instagram. A breeder I was following posted little hoglets (baby hedgehogs), and I had to have them. So Prickles has been adjusting to her home, and my company while I watch Netflix every night. </span><br />

It is no secret that I really love vintage typewriters. I already owned two last week when I found a third. This Smith-Corona Galaxie II was at the thrift store for a great deal. The case was in good shape and only a few keys were bent. Although I do not need another project, I would like to clean up the inside and see how it polishes up! Here are a few shots... </div>

Where did our spring go? The weather has begun to heat up, and it has rained every day for the past four days on the Gulf Coast. Early in May, my best friend graduated from USM with her masters. Since she shares my love for vintage goodies, I decided the best place to find a graduation gift was the <a href="https://plus.google.com/109679043561749188454/about?gl=us&hl=en">Centuries Antique Mall</a> in D'Iberville. Even though it is huge on Automall Parkway. I always forget to check it out! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> So after work I cruised down there, and was not disappointed! I was able to find a cute clutch and necklace for my friends as well as some great finds. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found this great vintage cookbook at the Goodwill in North Gulfport today. This is the 1968 edition, but the original was published in 1941. The author Mrs. S. R. Dull is a legendary culinary expert from Georgia. <i>Southern Cooking</i> is my type of cookbook because over half of it's contents are desserts! It even subdivides cakes from the rest of the dessert section. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy New Year! 2014 is an exciting year for me and The Sassy Starfish. This year will mark my 30th Birthday, and my fourth trip to the United Kingdom and Europe. As I have for the past several years, I have made several resolutions. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">**<b><i> Live the creative life</i></b>…. this includes writing and reading daily. Hopefully, I can cut out television significantly this year. I am completing the <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/">Good Reads Reading Challenge</a> for the fourth year in a row. I am hoping to read over 100 books. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As I mentioned in my resolutions, I want to learn to sew this year. Nothing seems more retro and domestic than sewing. I was really seduced into sewing by the cool projects on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/MandyLHornsby/">Pinterest</a>. So I hope to create posts about the projects I attempt and complete. This will be from my point of view as a true beginner and I would like to share my journey with you. Look forward to projects, vintage inspired pieces, and insights onto the history of sewing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My husband surprised me this Christmas with a childhood classic. When I was a little girl, I was delighted to find and read a book titled with my first name. It is an extra bonus that it is written by Julie Andrews herself. It is a 1971 first edition with a dust jacket in great condition. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The book is about a young orphan girl who sneaks into the woods by the orphanage to play house in an abandoned cottage. It is a sweet tale, and I am excited to have my own copy! </span></div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Out of my grandmother's many delicious recipes, her peanut butter fudge is my favorite. This was a crowd pleaser. My friends would beg for her to make it for class parties, and would appear on special occasions such as the holidays. Here is the exact recipe from the Cedar Lake United Methodist Church Ladies Fellowship Circle Cookbook. I left it in her own explanation because she was the expert. Below are pictures of me recreating this family favorite on Christmas eve.<br /><br /><b>Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding her fudge recipe. Enjoy! </b> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a very fun and easy holiday recipe from my Maternal grandmother. For my Sorority Alumnae group's Christmas party, I resurrected this from the Cedar Lake Ladies Fellowship Circle Cook Book. Enjoy!</span></div>

This December I am completing a December Daily where each day leading up to Christmas is documented. You can see a great example of getting started on a December Daily <a href="http://aliedwards.com/december-daily">here</a>. It has been a goal of mine to complete a December Daily scrapbook since I saw them in the gallery of <a href="http://twopeasinabucket.com/">Two Peas in a Bucket</a>. It is a fantastic scrapbooking website if you are not familiar. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After a few projects around our home, my next big project is to digitalize both my immediate family photographs as well as the photographs of my grandparents.

I purchased mine in red off of Amazon. It scans photos up to 8x10" and saves them onto a memory card. If the photo is below 4X6, it will auto crop if you use the photo sleeve that comes with the scanner. I was able to scan over six photos in a matter of minutes. I have also been happy with the quality of the scans. See the sample at the beginning of this post. </b></span></div>

Now that Halloween is over, the holiday season is quickly approaching us all. I have at least three parties already scheduled, and many more to come that do not include the family stuff as well. This Wish List Wednesday is dedicated these classy vintage pyrex casserole dishes. I can see my holiday recipes looking fantastic in these vintage patterns. It may even make the seafood dressing taste better! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sadly, the pickings for these are kind of slim at the thrift stores around the coast. I did not realize there are so many varieties until I looked at all the <a href="http://www.pyrexlove.com/vintage-pyrex-pattern-guide/">patterns </a>online. So I will continue my quest for these little treasures as I plan my holiday menus. </div>
