Linen vs. Gauze… Linen… If you had asked me even a month or so ago, I would have told you my favorite summertime fabric is linen. I know many people dislike linen because it wrinkles. When I buy a new piece of linen, I will press it to get the wrinkles out (you know, the …
Week 10 (maybe)! Welcome back for this week’s edition of the Fashion Files, hosted by Amy and me! If you don’t know Amy, her blog is Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa. If you’re a fashion blogger, this is the place to be. It’s the day of the week where I talk about the things I …
Style Imitating Art… It’s time for another round of Style Imitating Art! A few years ago, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA.

Week 160! How are all of you doing? It’s been rainy and downright muggy (do you use that term) here lately. My potted plants are thriving, and some of the weed-killer sprayed ones are recovering. So, I think this summer may be a good one for my plants. I had a jumbo upright elephant ear …
