After a very busy & very short summer it's back to work in the tuttichic boutique! I am happily adding beautiful vintage finds I've been collecting all summer long. I don't usually mix boutique biz with my blog but... I've been away from boutique work far to long & am so happy to be back at it!
I'll be having knee surgery on the 19th of September, so I'll be taking some time off to recuperate (it's arthroscopic so I should be back on my feet in no time!) My poor knee has gone from bad to worse & it's time to have it fixed. I think I've been limping for so long that one leg is shorter than the other! I miss the gym & I don't like being sidelined (It keeps me from going at warp speed-the only speed I knowLOL! ) A little nervous about it so feel free to say ANYTHING to make me feel better about it! :)
I will be having a FAB beginning of FALL give-a-way towards the end of this week so stay tuned!








Piece of cake....your knee surgery that is...I just know you will sail thru it with flying colors.
I LOVE the green and pink rose vase at the end of your post. IT is beautiful!
Hugs,
Penny

I am thinking that perhaps you could share a room with Tom B. That would make the suffering seem a little less intense, don't you think? Nothing like seeing Mr. Brady in a johnny to improve the blood flow. Yeah, I know, I am plenty old enough to be his mother!
I went down your street for the first time in ages and the flowers up and down the street are beautiful...your work??

Hey Chris ~ I hope your surgery goes well! I'm sure it will. (*_*) I have been sidelined too for abit this summer, mainly the month of August. I haven't been to the gym in over a month and I am missing it, but am getting back into the swing of things now. It's back to work for me...just in time to take two weeks off for a road trip back home to Canada at the end of September. Sheesh! You feel better soon Chris and get back on that treadmill!! ~Stacy~

Hi Chris,
Beautiful print! Good luck with the knee surgery. I had arthroscopic knee surgery twice and it was a pretty easy recovery. Hope you have a quick recovery!

Tutts! Don't be scared a bit on the surgery. Larry had it and recovery was speedy. You'll be like a new woman ready to run faster in case a glass of red wine gets spilled...you know what I mean? lol~xo
