Passion

In general, I've been really inspired by the colors, shapes, and beautiful hair of Lorena over at Spinthread. Her jewelry is .... I can't get enough of it. Plus, I really enjoyed her interview, and its worth a peep!

Is it acceptable to put these beautiful sunglasses by Shwood out into the blogging universe with the hopes that some of my family really does read this blog. And with that, also hoping they realize how wonderful it would be if these ended up in my hands for my birthday on April 21st? Internet, I am entrusting this to you.

Plant Neighbors

There are probably 1,945,000 poems about spring. Today I feel like every one of them.

No more of you around here!

And, happy birthday Bethany. You always bring this type enthusiasm to the day.

Celebration

Happy 89th Birthday, Grampa!

And! Moving day tomorrow....!

Fashion Icon

This week is all one big lead up to Grampa's 89th birthday on Sunday, and in honor of this family has been flying in, and the inevitable reach for the old albums is underway.

Going through all these old albums, and my recent expedition into my mother's closet has made me realize the profound impact my mother's fashion, when she was my age, has had on my style choices.

The Label on the back of this photograph reads, "Happy Birthday Jesus."

Her color, pattern, and shape combinations are really worth thinking about. It doesn't hurt that she is truly a beautiful woman. I decided to share a few photos we've stumbled on, and to publicly admit my deep admiration of my mother's fashion, and my envy at all those great threads she discarded before my time.
