My sister, Polka Dots, arrived today from Hawaii (at 5am!) and Princess Sparkles was super excited to see her.  Not only does Polka Dots give her complete devoted attention, but she also brings presents.  When Princess Sparkles saw my sister for the first time she yelled, "Auntie," and ran up to hug her. Then she got a huge smile on her face and said, "presents?"

However, Princess Sparkles doesn't just like to get, she also likes to give, so she had prepared a "present" for her Auntie as well.  She ran into her bedroom and handed Polka Dots a backpack filled with various goodies including a size 3T sweater, a playing card from a game, an empty plastic bag, a sushi toy, a bathtub net and a book, "Too Big For Diapers."

The 30 Day Remix starts on Monday and I really need to figure out my 30 pieces!!!  But I wanted to wear something I wasn't going to choose, so I decided on this tribal print dress.  The great thing about this dress is it's completely legit.  I got it from a non-profit, Heavenly Treasures, who purchased it from a village in Kenya.  It's super comfortable and I don't have to worry about anyone wearing this exact same dress (though you can get a similar one by calling the Heavenly Treasures store...they're only $30 and you'll be helping someone out in another country!!!).

Anyway, I'm really excited to spend time with Polka Dots.  We're planning on going thrifting today at some of Fair Isle's fave thrift stores.  Hopefully I'll get something vintage, inexpensive and super fabulous.  Getting a really good deal on a thrifted treasure is even better than getting a present (unless you're Princess Sparkles, then maybe you'd rather have the present).
