Frightening Fashion Friday: It’s a Wrap!
I loved wearing summer wrap-around dresses! They were fun to get into, perfect for hot weather, and often reversible (two outfits in one — how could you beat that?). I remember several hanging in my closet, all hand-sewn by Mom. My contribution: choosing the fabric.
I’m not sure what I was thinking when I decided on this teal and brown selection… I appear to be wrapped in a Persian carpet. I remember this material was fuzzy, like a terry cloth, which only adds to the rug-like appearance. Not at all dainty like my sister and cousin.
The Perpetual Guardian
I have always felt a connection with, and reverence for, St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and ecology (among other things).
How Does Your Garden Grow?
This past weekend H and I traveled with friends to to see Gibbs Gardens, a residential estate garden in North Georgia. Although it is known for its millions of daffodils, there is so much more to see. The property encompasses 220 acres of landscaped and natural gardens with seasonally blooming plants and trees, natural streams, ponds, bridges, waterfalls, and trails. (H, on the other hand, was a fan of the café’s sandwich collection.) We were so impressed that we bought season passes.
Frightening Fashion Friday: Windshield Wipers Optional
I’m not sure where to look first… the big hair or the big glasses.
Lifting the Veil
I love that perfect moment in the early morning when the dawn breaks away from the darkness of night. Anything becomes possible.
Easter Joy
H and I welcome Easter each year with a blend of families and traditions. The tables are rich and inviting with the everyday dishes from my great-aunt mingling with Mom’s wedding china. Hand-embroidered tablecloths sewn by my husband’s aunt brighten the scene. Our own mix of ornamentation, collected over the years, adds another layer of memories. It’s like having all of our loved ones, past and present, here to celebrate with us on this happy occasion.
Frightening Fashion Friday: Ready for the Easter Parade
Now this is Easter finery at its best with all that satin, ribbon, and lace. I’m guessing that my socks and shoes match the bonnet and purse.
These images just crack me up… I don’t think I’ve ever looked quite this angelic since.
Window Peeps
Nothing says Easter like marshmallow peeps. These chicks and bunnies caught my eye… I love the window dressing.
The Eggstravaganza
Here’s a little peek at just a few of the 1,500 eggs that have been filled with candy surprises for the Easter egg hunt at church this week.
Frightening Fashion Friday: Double the Fun
I’m looking a little possessive with the two Easter baskets that I’ve managed to secure.
