June Favorites ~ 2022
Good Morning,
I hope everyone had a good weekend. I still can’t believe this is the last weekend in June! I had a wonderful time at the antique fair this weekend. I will be sure to share a few photos later!
Let’s get into my favs for the month of June. I had some fun favorites for this month…
My first favorite was the boutique’s Ballet Lace Cardigan. I actually kept a light pink for myself and loved wearing it with my blue dress to the office. It was so beautiful and super elegant. I really enjoyed wearing it and will be wearing it again soon.

Second was an antique trip that I took to a new store. It is called Vintage Whimsy and it’s a local store in Franklin, Indiana. My boss shared it with me this month and I had to take a look and I love this store! They have the prettiest things! I ended up purchasing two table cloths, a pair of vintage earrings, and my blue and white platter that I just hung.
The earrings look great…
The third item is my new passport!!! Happy Dance! It finally arrived last week and it only took 3 weeks. I was not expecting that! I am so happy to finally have this. For years I have talked about traveling to Italy, or France and this year I thought, “you know if an opportunity presented itself I would not be able to go because I don’t have my passport”. Right after I had that thought I suddenly felt “lead” to get it started and I am so glad that I did. I’m ready Lord!

Fourth is my new leather quilted bag! I saw this in the store and loved the crystal bird as the button and the soft leather. This is called the Kensington soft bag by Kurt Geiger London. He has other bags like this and this. It’s quite lovely!
The fifth is my new swan cake topper from the Cake Bake shop. Now I have no purpose for this but at only $15 why not order one? I may place it on a dessert in the new future. Maybe my cake for my 40th but I am not sure yet. If you love it I would encourage you to order it now. In a few months they will go back up in price! Move quickly….
The sixth are my new grandmillennial inspired cameo bookmarks. Aren’t these great? They are so different and wonderful. The price is surprising as well. You may order it here or here.

Seventh has been my most recent fashion idea. I love tying scarves around my bags but I find that I don’t like the “tie” look. I love for a scarf to drape over the bag and around the straps but if I did that then I have to worry about losing it. I have lost scarves before… not fun. It then dawned on me that I had this vintage Anne Klein Lion scarf clip that I found on Poshmark a few years ago. I am now using that to help with my drape look and provide security for my scarf. I found some similar ones here and here. I love it!
Eight are my new chinoiserie journals that I found at the At Home store. I have tried multiple times to find these online but I can’t seem to locate them. If you have a store nearby I would go and check. These were by the cashiers and were under $10 each! Beautiful!
And the last item has been this book called Marella Agnelli The Last Swan. I have been reading this during my lunch hour and oh it is so good! I never knew who this woman was but I saw this book on Instagram years ago. It is such an interesting read. Marella was married to one of the Fiat leaders and she lived such a glamours life. I loved reading about her relationship with the Kennedys and Truman Capote. She also had a love affair with interior design and reading how she decorated the family homes was so educational. My daughter even loved the pictures in this book which is rare.
Well those are my favorites for the month of June. I am starting to get really excited. Our family vacation will be coming up here soon. I will share those details when the time gets closer. Have a wonderful Monday!

Nice favorites once again. I do like that Lion head pendant for your scarves on your bag. Great idea. The swan cake topper is too precious. The Last Swan book sounds fascinating. I must get myself on if these bookmarks. What a neat idea.
On a personal note…the surgery went extremely well. I’m sore but home in my own bed. A couple different pain meds to keep the hurt at bay. The Dr was pleased. I’ll continue to heal and rest up, follow up in 2 weeks. I’m walking around which they told me to do. Thank you to my Heavenly Father Jehovah it was successful 🙏🏾
Enjoy your week Mrs. Shockley💕😊🌺
I love the scarf ring myself! It has been a game changer! I am glad to hear that your surgery went well. Now all you have to do is heal up! I praying for wonderful recovery!
Hi Mrs. Shockley
Thank you for sharing your favorites with us! I always try to narrow down my favorites of your favorites. I can never do that. I love that swan. By the way, CakeBake Shop will be opening a new location in Walt Disney World in 2023. I am excited to finally be able to go next year! And I can’t wait to hear your travel plans. We are going to Disney World this year for 9 days. I am definitely going to take some Mom time to shop around some antique shops and outlets. And of course no trip would be complete without a trip to HomeGoods.
Talk soon,
Mya
Forgot to say that those bookmarks are so unique. I plan to order one for myself and my penpals.
I know! I can’t believe she is opening a location there! I hope you love it. I am looking forward to seeing her plans for the new location. I hope you enjoy Disney! It will be fun for you and the girls. Of course, you should visit all of the antique stores that you can and HomeGoods. Every state had different items in their Homegoods! Make sure that you share your finds!
