So a scary incident happened yesterday; my kindergarteners were drop off a few blocks away from their usual bus route and they were lost for almost twenty minutes and had to find their way home, the culprit was a substitute bus driver who totally missed to stop at their regular bus route.  Luckily another boy, not from their class but takes the same bus remembered where we usually pick the kids up and he walked them over to that corner where my husband and I were waiting panicked.  Thank God for the little boy who guided them home, and that nothing bad happened to them.  My little girl who thinks riding the bus was the best part of going to school is now traumatized by it and begs me to pick her up from now on.  This morning we are going to have a meeting with the principal  and the DOT.

my vintage collection: handmade Vintage Christmas ornaments

I hope you guys are not too tired of my Christmas decor posts yet (in November!) It's just that it's my most favorite time of the year and you know what, where I was born (Philippines), people actually start decorating as early as September 1st, which is why they're known to have the longest running holiday season around the world.  As soon as September comes, streets are decorated with colorful lights, trees and lanterns, as well as Christmas carols played all day long most especially in the big city (Manila).  As a kid growing up I remember getting that warm and fuzzy feeling as soon as the first day of September comes which means I can put the tree up and decorate it with my brother.  Writing this post just now, I can almost hear the sounds of the carolers and smell my mom's bibingka cooking.

Anyhoo, I will be listing this pretty handmade ornaments to the shop this week and also today is the last day of my Modish Vintage's Sale!
