Happy Thanksgiving from My Table to Yours: Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I’m as full as a tick, as my Missouri mama would say.  While I didn’t completely clean my plate – the one in the photo above is actually PC’s  – I didn’t leave much for the dishwasher at Bob Evans to do. Which reminds me of a little joke… What do you […]

Fashionistas and style sistas, welcome to My Fashi Fashionistas and style sistas, welcome to My Fashion Haus 01.2021.  First 'fashion' post of the shiny new year.  And this one is a 2'fer.  Last month's fashion haus post was an 8'fer.  A real bargain because I shared 8 different looks.  Most of them started with a monochromatic base to which I added different wraps.  #FashionOver60 #HodgePodge #LifeAfterRetirement #MyFashionHaus #SIA #Styleimitatingart
