a vistit to red velvet

Over spring break our parents took us on a trip to Springfield, MO. Our mother has been keeping up with our blog and we told her about the blog, A Beautiful Mess.

Mom knows I love vintage clothes and all the people in our family love cupcakes. So, we got to Red Velvet and they were doing an interview and we walked in.  There were vintage clothes everywhere!

Also, there were old TVs, vintage cameras, etc. Then, we saw the Red Velvet cake shop (inside Red Velvet) and we ordered a snicker doodle cupcake and peanut butter cupcake.  They were the best cupcakes i have ever had! 

My favorite part was the dressing room where you can try on all of the clothes for sale there, and the vintage hats I could also try on.

We also got to be on the news broadcast they were having. I am very lucky to have gotten the experience to go to Red Velvet and meet another blogger just like me.

My brother has also written about his experience on his blog, The Creative Blast go check it out!!

Adventures in the Art Gallery

  At the Spiva Center, they currently have in the gallery, work by Linda Mitchell. All of her work has a sense of fantasy and makes one think of childhood with her use of stuffed animals, colors and scenes pulled from a kid's imagination. Below, we picked our absolute faves and wrote a bit about them.

This painting stood out to me the most because it is designed in an old fashioned kind of way and I love anything vintage.

This photo drew me to it because of its dark nightly mood. Also, I thought the little bunny in the paper boat was a little cute. -DarthJango

This painting collage type thing is called 'Faith' by Linda Mitchell. I really liked it for its colors and and the sense of fantasy that is has with a wiener dog under the sea. It makes me think of being little and all the crazy scenarios imagination creates.
