I have a problem with shoes. I admit it. I think it grows out of my childhood. My feet are, basically, the same size they were when I was in third grade. I think I finished growing in fifth grade so I had really big feet, comparatively speaking, for a couple of years. It was …
Week 119! I’m writing this with fingers and hands that have been viciously attacked! I have little wounds all over. Jack, you say? No. Nigel wielding his cane like a sword? Double no! I had some dead branches in one of my rose bushes and was cutting them out of it. I didn’t feel anything …
An update… I actually gave my first public tour this past Saturday! I was even more nervous than I was for my graduation tour. I did discover it’s not a good idea to take along your notes, at least, for me! I kept checking them to make sure I’d not left anything out. If I …
Many of you have either owned or seen a pair sandals very similar to the iconic ones I’m wearing. I’m not going to name that retailer because, well, you’ll probably recognize them, and I don’t want to get into any trouble with that company. But, what I do want to tell you is the real …
Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last year, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on …
I just love this photo! If you read my “Tell Us About Accidents” post (here), you’ll recognize this photo. We lived in a beautiful old two storey home when the kids were little. The kitchen was so small, and we actually ate in there. In fact, I probably only had to walk five or six …
Week 118! Well, life has this funny way of smacking you upside the head and saying, “Hey, let’s change things up!” As you know, I’ve been undergoing treatment for dry eyes as well as gunky glands along my bottom lids. I’ve had three IPL treatments and use prescription eye drops. I had a regular check …
It’s time for another Global Writing Challenge prompt. Our current membership consists of MK’s Adventures in Style, Deb’s World, Women Over 50 Living Well, Suzy Turner, Rosie Amber, and me. I chose this month’s theme. I didn’t really have a reason for doing so. I love the Global Writing Challenge because it’s always fun to see what others come up …
Style Imitating Art… Welcome to Style Imitating Art which comes from Salazar, Shelbee, and me. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum! SIA challenges people to find inspiration in different art works, create looks based upon that art work, and share them with the curator for that piece. Salazar was this week’s curator …
Ah, August! You are one of my least favorite months. Do you feel certain ways about numbers? I do, and eight is one of those numbers I just don’t like. Weird, I know. I think another reason I don’t like August is because it was the month we went back to school. I loved going …
