My Fashion Haus: Trying Stitch Fix Again & SIA

Morning Glories! Can’t believe that most of my posts lately have come from my fashion haus, to include this one.  Sharing my recent experience trying Stitch Fix again.   It had been at least 2 years since my last fix when, this spring, I decided to give Stitch Fix another try. So many of the bloggers […]

TBB Asks: Holiday Edition

Sugar plums, It’s the first Monday of the month, which means it’s time for TBB Asks:  Holiday Edition.  Have really enjoyed doing these quick little posts and then hopping around to read everyone else’s answers.  Fun way to get to know my blogging buddies a little bit better. It has been hard for me to […]

My Fashion Haus: Style Imitating Art, Cyanotype Photography of Anna Atkins

Fashionistas, welcome!  So glad to have you stop by.  Can we pretend we are sipping tea in bone china cups with our pinkies extended?  And nibbling cucumber sandwiches before indulging in a plate of petit pours.  Will you have cream in your tea?  One lump of sugar or two?

My Fashion Haus: Style Imitating Art, 18th Century Spanish Fabric

Sweet fashionistas, Joining some librarian friends for their Style Imitating Art or SIA post.  I last participated in a Style Imitating Art round up in May.  The prompt that month was a print used in advertising cigarettes in the 19th century.  My Curious George plush animal came in handy for that outfit.  See what I […]

My Fashion Haus: Style Imitating Art, “Monkey”

Sweet fashionistas, Curled up in my daughter’s guest bedroom tonight listening to the rain outside my window.  PC reports we had rain and quarter-sized hail at home tonight, too.   I’m sure our plants and our yard are delighting in the rain as much as we are. Joining some librarian friends for their Style Imitating Art […]

Hello

In what felt like the blink of an eye, I have gone from full-time wife to my sweet husband, hands-on mom to my two beautiful daughters and elementary school librarian to a retired, empty nester with lots of time on my hands. Join me on my journey to rediscover who I am. Glad you are here.
