An opening...


Hello world! My name is Heather and the above picture is me. Before I start this blogging voyage, I want to say a few things about me. I'm not going to say my age. :) Thats a secret! I do want to write a bit about the things I love in life. Here is a list of my top favorites:
cooking, interior design, vintage clothing and furniture, fashion, gardening, creating art, enjoying art, music, wine, my boyfriend, my dogs, my friends and my family.
So, that is what I will be blogging about.
I am trying to get into this blogging thing but its a little awkward! I will pre apologize for any grammar mistakes or bad spelling! I have never kept a diary and if I did, I probably wouldn't let anyone read it. But I am going to do my best to open up and let a bit of my psyche out into the universe.


This is a photo of my boyfriend and I when we first met 5 years ago. We live together and we have two babies. Petey and Penelope. Their pictures below.





I used to have a vintage store called Harmonious Posh. The pictures below are from my first store front.






After a year, I found a much better location and moved my store. The Delano district is a funky little shopping area just west of the river in down town Wichita. If your ever in Wichita, I recommend checking it out. Its where all the brothels and saloons were in the old days!
                       \
The town I live in is rather middle sized and its in the bible belt so try to imagine the style that people dress in here. There is a lot of Abercombie, Gap, Uggs, Ed Hardy and anything that is brand name. So my little vintage shop didn't get a ton of shoppers. The shoppers that I did have were super cute but there just weren't enough. So, I moved on to other things. I was a Wine rep for a while at a local liquor distributer. I loved selling wine but, I have a problem with old school, in the box thinking so that company didn't hold me for long.  Now, I sell vintage clothing on Etsy. I love it and I am trying to do everything I can to make my store thrive. So shop there! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Harmoniousposh
Ok, I'm don blogging for now.  More blogging to come...

Shelf decorating DIY: How to put together a great shelf display

Decorating shelves and mantles can be frustrating. Even the most outstanding and unique piece can get lost in a mismanaged display. We came up with these decorating tips that can help you to create a more visually stimulating display in your home. I hope this helps to make your home feel fresh and organized. Tip #1: Odd numbered grouping... When decorating a shelf or table, it’s usually best to create odd numbers of groupings. One, three, five, seven and so on. You can place one large piece alone or three pieces on a table or shelf. Tip #2: Escalating scale... Make sure the proportions are visually soothing to the eye by using escalating sizes. Create layers by incorporating a tall medium and short item in a group. Always put the tallest piece in the back of the display and let the height come down towards the viewer. Doing this creates a dynamic, interesting display. Tip #3: Make it you... It is important to put your personality into your home decorating. Use mementos of vacations,...

Experimenting with Mixology

I have recently noticed a trend in mixology going from the old traditional drink recipes to more experimental ones. More exciting ingredients are starting to pop up in drinks at trendy bars and restaurants. Ingredient like rose water and strange vegetables are making there way into the spot light. I looked around on the internet for some more creative mixes that I could make at home and I didn't find much so I decided to experiment for my self.  These ingredients were what I already had in my refrigerator. I think this recipe came out nicely. Its not to sweet but has a unique kick that I don't often find in alcoholic beverages. If you make this drink just right, it is hard to pick out any of the ingredients on there own. They simply become a new entity together.  I really want to start experimenting in savory drinks rather that sweet ones, so my next endeavor may include something like liquid smoke or bacon. :) Adonis Martini Cocktail Ingredients: Orange   about 1/12 ...

Saturday night fever

Saturday night I attended a pub-crawl that is put on annually by the Brickyard guys in Wichita.  Usually there is a theme and this year it was old Thrift store clothes. Luckily, my basement is pretty much an old thrift store, thanks to  Harmonious Posh so I ended up supplying many of the outfits.  We went to about 10 dive bars, did a lot dancing, a lot of walking and a lot of drinking. It was like being in old Vegas! Here are a few pictures of the night and the outfits that people sported...
