Study your habits for they become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.

Just a little motivation for the week that I came across...

First Ebay auction item posted!!...Vintage Chestnut Brown Hobo bag!!



Vintage Chestnut Brown Hobo Bag...a GREAT VINTAGE FIND...the item is in PERFECT condition besides a darker circle spot on one side which is shown in the close up pic, this imperfection definitely however does not take away from the bag though. This bag was bought some years back during a thrifting outing but was never used by me so I hope it finds someone that will love it! It does not have a specific brand name...It was Made in ITALY as the inside tag specifies and the brand label says, "Exclusively for Fashion Accessories". The inside of the purse also has a inside dividing zipper section like found in many older bags, great for keeping items in purse organized. Well, HAPPY BIDDING....please feel free to email me with any questions/concerns about this item. I only accept Paypal, payment must be received before ship out and must be received  5 days of the bid ending. No refunds but please contact me first if you are not happy with the item so I can attempt to resolve the issue before any negative feedback is left. Thanks for your interest in my item and be on the look for more great VINTAGE finds from CharleysCloset!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, MISS CHARLEY MADISEN!!

We all scream for Yogaberry!!!...

If there is one place I will miss in Jacksonville...It will definitely be Yogaberry aka Yobe...it is just yummy goodness, all natural, fat free frozen yogurt with ton of toppings to choose from...it is like my icebreaker  place to go especially when getting to know a mom...everyone loves it, especially the kiddos and it is good for you!...cant beat that! Check out my raspberry, blueberry and strawberry creation with reeses, granola n I think strawberries and blueberries...I went all out on this day...lol...I sooo wish I could afford a Yobe franchise and bring it back to VA with me when we move from here...lol

Lemon Crm Cupcakes...need I say more...mmm, mmm

Last Thursday I decided to try my hand at some Lemon Crm Cupcakes...I had seen the recipe some time back on moptopmaven.blogspot.com, she adaped the recipe from the one at http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Lemon-Cream-Cupcakes/Detail.aspxrecipes.com, they were soooo good!!....It is amazing the flav that just the lemon zest gives the cupcakes. The lemon flavor is sutle but the icing brings it all out...I guess if you wanted a more lemony taste in the cupcake you could add lemon juice which is added to the icing. The icing is more like a glaze that hardens but melts in your mouth, loved it! I may be making these cupcakes again for Easter weekend, such a great Spring cupcake! These cupcakes were also super easy to make, and definitely a great start for a beginner baker. Comparing these to the red velv cupcakes that I made these were definitely easier! A fix pix below of the finish result!
