"Citrus splash smash, don't hold the avocado" sounds like something you might hear at your favorite Tex-Mex restaurant, right?  But no, it's just another wordplay way to talk about Tote Trove color.  Because today it's frowny frogs and more bright togs (and yes, a couple of avocados) as I introduce two new necklaces.  Which were, as always, a pleasure to make.  Sometimes I get so wrapped up in social media (I'm looking at you, Instagram), that I forget what made me start The Tote Trove in the first place -- my love of making jewelry.  Because there's nothing as relaxing and rewarding as creating a fun new accessory in my candy-colored craft room with a romcom or sitcom in the background.

That's the real special of the day, every day.

Although after cranking out a batch of new merch, I wouldn't say no to guacamole.

Awesome froggie necklaces and so much more! Oh, love the Avacado collection! Great summer fashion! Love those flip-flops and wedges. πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸΈπŸΈπŸΈπŸΈπŸΈπŸΈπŸΈ Oh, I made the mistake of trying to do some decluttering on a day off. Ugh, it was like a volcano erupted instead of a mountain of so many things. And of course, I work this weekend. I should have been chilling. Thanks for being here and so full of inspiration! Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thanks again for all your comments!

Spectacular post! Love those shades and all those little extras! Great tops too! All the best to the new merchandise! I did start Anne Tyler's French Braid. I am not sure I'm in love with it yet. Thanks for your comments. Yes, I am always interested in the history of foods..like what did the first burgers taste like at the world's fair? Oh, and don't get me started on short breads! All the best to a lovely weekend 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸

Loving this post! Lots of interesting themes going on! First, the shot iso you in the mirror is so unique- love the blue checked sunglasses and the orange dress! Your froggy necklace is adorable and the lime necklace is so summer! I liked the way you added some color to the background (purples and light blues) - which are two of my favorites. The avocado match so well with the lime necklace. I'm ready for guacamole!

These outfits are fabulous!!! The blue and black checkered sunglasses are so cool. And the Frowny Frogs Necklace - wow! That is such an adorable statement piece! The avocado bag is super cute and looks great against your orange outfit and necklace; the avocado sandals are epic! The colors you added in the background of your denim outfit is lovely; and so is the cute mirror shot you took! Lastly, your blog title does indeed have a Tex-Mex restaurant vibe! Your love of making jewelry definitely shows in your creations, and that truly is "the real special of the day, every day." :)
