Orange Empire Railway Museum

January 23, 2017, 5 Comments on Orange Empire Railway Museum

Recently Patrick and I went to the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris (about an hour and a half east of Los Angeles) with a couple of friends for a day filled with not just train history, but a glimpse into the history of Los Angeles transit, as well as added bits of Disney history!…

3 Kings Day Potluck

January 10, 2017, 2 Comments on 3 Kings Day Potluck

Over the weekend some friends and I had a potluck. We used El Dia de los Reyes (Three Kings Day – a day that many within our group actually celebrate) as an excuse for a belated holiday get-together, and opted for a more Latin American vibe, with a Rosca de Reyes and other festive Christmas and…

Dolly and Dotty

January 23, 2016, 6 Comments on Dolly and Dotty

Recently I was contacted by the UK based, retro influenced clothing company Dolly and Dotty to see if I was interested in test driving one of their items for review. For the most part Dolly and Dotty’s website is full of the classic retro staples, with fitted dresses, swing dresses, pencil skirts and striped tops,…

Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue

September 17, 2015, 5 Comments on Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue

Fall is officially in swing at the Disneyland Resort, and while Main Street USA may be lined with adorable pumpkins, one of my favorite areas of Disneyland during fall is Frontierland and the Big Thunder Ranch area. Sadly, this year will be the last autumn for Big Thunder Ranch, which includes the Big Thunder Ranch…

R&R

July 2, 2015, 10 Comments on R&R

As much as I adore my role at the Disneyland Resort, I must admit that having not worked a “real” job in roughly eight years, the constant go-go-go of a job five days a week is still taking some getting used to, and when I spied two days off in a row (this doesn’t always happen),…

Burrito King

June 6, 2015, 5 Comments on Burrito King

During the week Patrick came to terms that it was time for a haircut. After being disappointed in his previous cuts around Orange, Patrick finally decided to listen to me about seeing one of our friends, as well as former Portland resident, who is a barber at Manly and Sons in LA (and he did a…

Desert Sweetheart

May 29, 2015, 9 Comments on Desert Sweetheart

After working for six days straight (although each and every day was fun) I needed a break, and a getaway. So Patrick suggested we do a day trip out to Joshua Tree and pack a picnic. And when I saw that the temperatures would be in the high 80s, I saw the opportunity to wear a…

California Christmas

December 21, 2014, 5 Comments on California Christmas

Over the weekend Patrick and I did a bit of last minute Christmas shopping. We’ve been super busy lately and while getting dressed up to go shopping is always appealing, we were rushing around so I opted for a more casual, but still festive look. So here’s a somewhat random fact about me, I love…

Autumnal Hues

November 30, 2014, 11 Comments on Autumnal Hues

I am feeling on the up and up with this cold I’ve had for awhile, and yesterday Patrick and I went out to do a bit of holiday shopping at some of the antique malls in town. Though this is often my problem when I catch something, I start to feel better, run around and…

July Expo

July 13, 2014, 4 Comments on July Expo

This weekend was one of the most anticipated events in my calendar, the summer antique show at the Portland Expo Center, aka Expo. While Expo happens three times a year (the other two shows being in March and October – learn more about Expo by visiting their website) the summer show is often the best,…

Janey 🍊 California. 🌵 Vintage Lifestyle and Unique Destinations Blog 📝 Disneyland AP ✨ Knott's AP 🏜 History geek. 📖 Sometimes cosplayer. ✂️

  • I rarely ever do Woman Crush Wednesdays, #wcw but today I just have to gush about Carla @tinyangrycrafts ! This girl and I “met” sometime before 2014 through blogging. Not only is Carla into vintage, (she is one of the ladies behind #vintagefashionchallenge ) but cosplay as well. I was new to this world, and I grew up in one of the whitest areas, and I had concerns about cosplaying as Lando Calrissian. This girl talked to me extensively about cosplay and race and gave me the courage to go through with the cosplay. Which ultimately, through wearing that cosplay, is how I met the equally stellar @deeladesigns ! Later we finally met in person when I tagged along on a business trip of Pat’s to San Diego where this doll resides. Carla is passionate about history, and she is a wealth of information! She is also compassionate and kind. I know when I am around her I am in a judgement free zone. She puts up with me and teaches me something new every time I talk to her. Thank you for being my friend, Carla. I love you so much. ❤️ 🤜🏻🤛🏾

  • Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death. Had a lovely time with @tinyangrycrafts hanging out at Independence Hall at @knottsberryfarm . It’s such a gem in Buena Park! And free! I highly recommend a visit! Especially on the Fourth of July! 💥 You can also see my pics of it (including past Fourth or July ensembles) on the blog! Search “Independence Hall” on the blog! 🇺🇸 Link on profile!
  • It has come time to bid the Redhead in Pirates as we know her farewell. I have complex feelings on the change, but change is the only constant.
  • Remember my dressing room tour awhile back? I got lots of requests to do it as a blog post, and to include links to where to buy, and here it is!!! 👗👠💍 Link on profile!

  • Tonight is the end of an era. @donthebeachcomberhb closes. I’m currently working on my blog post from our final visit. But here is a snap that won’t appear on the blog, thanks to @disney_darling_lady who snapped this pic of me and the elusive @patrickarlt who is normally behind the camera! Stay tuned for the blog post! 🌺
  • Heartbroken right now. 💔 The best parasols, and therefore the ones that were best for my creations are no longer being manufactured. Or at least I believe so. I had recently ordered a bundle and what arrived was not what I ordered. 😡 Turns out the company that was the only one selling the best ones was bought out by a company that produced the decent enough parasols (but still had issues) and they no longer provide the best ones, and I cannot find them elsewhere online. 😭 I went through three different styles (and price points!) before finding the best one - one that didn’t routinely arrive with multiple broken or torn parasols (I bought in bulk!) and didn’t bleed! The most noticeable difference between the best and the middle level is the handle, which you’ll see in the last photo. If you see parasols with the handle on the right, which is more elaborate, please, please, PLEASE let me know!!! 🙏🏻 Thank you! In the meantime I’ll try to work with what I have and see how it goes...
