Casablanca on the big screen!

On March 21st  we headed to the Ontario Theatre for the special viewing of my all time favorite epic movie, Casablanca! This all time classic stars the talented and handsome Humphrey Bogart (swoons) and Ingrid Bergman filmed in 1942. I couldn't wait for this TCM special event. Theatres all across the country were gearing up for this one day special event. Albrech and myself saw Casablanca on the big silver screen once before on Valentine's Day at the Downtown Disney Theatre a few years back. It was so exciting! It was once even more exciting this time! There was a great introduction done by TCM's very own Robert Osbourne. I practically begged for the poster that was greeting us all at the entrance but the managers wouldn't budge! Boo!

My Birthday! (Part 2)

The actual day of my 26th Birthday I celebrated it with family. The cool thing about my birthday is that I share it with my Grandfather. We were both born on April 27. My grandfather celebrated his 81ST birthday!!!! We all gathered at my grandparents house for cake and presents. It was a blast! The hubby got a custom cake made for us from my favorite old bakery in town, Noyes Bakery. They have a custom made flavor that I adore called Pink Champagne!

My 27th Birthday(Part 1)

The day before my 26th Birthday the hubby took me to my FAVORITE restaurant of all time...Northwoods Inn! I grew up in the Rosemead area most all my life but we live over an hour away so it isn't as easy to head down to this all time favorite of ours. Albrech surprised me with this pit stop during my "Birthday Adventure" as he called it. We made it in perfect timing for their Happy Hour where appetizers were only $3.98 and their famous cheese bread (the only reason I even eat there) was only .25 cents a slice!!! So of course we loaded up on tons of appetizers and bread...plus a HUGE piece of Mud Pie for under 25 bucks! Amazing!

Then after dinner, the hubby took us to Disneyland...our home away from home, to end the night. I of course received the annual birthday badge, but we were pleasantly surprised to receive the Honorary Citizens Badges. It was the end to a perfect day!

A time away...

Sorry for the backup on Posts! I have been busy with family...and unfortunately some bumps along the road. We recently lost our baby boy, Bear. He was diagnosed with Cancer so we had to make the unfortunate decision to put him down to stop his suffering. This was the hardest thing for me to do. It has really got us down. We don't have children so this was such a large loss for us. He was our pet son, if you will. Both my Uncles are in the ICU for heart problems, which was a huge hit to our family. So now that things have been getting a little bit easier...day by day, I have decided to return to the web world and start blogging once again!

Our very own Engagement Postcards!

So all of you know that I did my very own Engagement photo shoot since I myself am a professional photographer. So I also created our very own Engagement Announcements. These came out amazing! Wanted to share. =) In case any of you are interested in our photography and the print products we offer please contact me @ andyseyecandy@hotmail.com or online at www.facebook.com/andreamariaphotography

Thifting Treasures

Haven't been on for quite some time but the first thing I wanted to blog about after returning was my recent Thrift findings. I took the whole day for thrifting..I ended up taking a whole scavenging trip from my house to Covina, which is well over an hour drive. Hit as many thrift stores as possible.

I first found this vintage Disney Doc Pencil and Crayon Sharpener...my readers already know I have a Vintage Disney Obsession. =)  Found this gem for only $3 dollar. It is even Signed at the bottom and is from Japan!!

Next I found this lovely Rattan Woven Clutch! While all the other lovely vintage ladies collect Lucite....I collect Wicker and Rattan! Ha! This was only $1!!!! I couldn't help but scream and scare everyone at the shop around me.

Next in Pomona I found this lovely Pot and Candle Holder Mid Century Set! Only $5 plus 25% off! It was a steal!

Next I found this AMAZING vintage Navy Blue saucer hat! I was in love! It was a bit steep for my taste...$30 bucks! But I decided to go for it. This type of piece is not an easy find at a thrift shop so I went for it. 

Last but not least I found this amazing Vintage Mermaid Wall Hanging!!! These are ridiculously expensive online and hard to come by...but brace yourself...are you sitting down? Only .75 CENTS!!!!!!!! This shop needs a lesson in Vintage 101.

Thanks for joining me in this venture of vintage treasures!

Our Disneyland Engagement Photoshoot...

About a month ago we headed out to Disneyland for our Engagement Photoshoot! I was set about having them taken at Disneyland. I was searching for the right photographer for almost two months! Being a photographer myself it was probably the most hardest decision to make. One night my Fiance told me, "I don't want anyone taking them but you!" He was right...the best person for the job was me! I had all the tools for the job...a clicker and  a tripod! Bingo! We were set! I appreciate my fellow colleges but I am so picky and perfectionist with that aspect of my life...photography!

Here is what we came up with...sorry if in some you can see the clicker. Hehehehe...

The end of the night...we decided to take a mini shoot in our bedroom. I loved the way they came out!
