Attic Finds

This morning Ashes is at the groomer so I decided to get in the attic...if he's here, he barks the WHOLE time I'm up there...anyway, I found some things that I had forgotten about but hold special memories. First is a pair of Paige's shoes. These black and white saddle shoes were one of her favorites.Dsci0004 She wore these with overalls. That was her favorite outfit! Next was  Corduroy the book. She even has her name in it. We used to rent the video from the public library and watch it over and over.Dsci0002 Dsci0003 During college, I went to Holland for 2 weeks Dsci0001 and brought back these little wooden shoes.Dsci0006 This little figurine was in my childhood bedroom for years. I always had a pink bedroom with everything just so. A mouse of something chewed her hair but she'll be in the house from now on.Dsci0007

Thrifting finds and clearance goodies...

It's been cold, damp, snowy and dreary this week and I needed alittle out of the house time. Cabin fever had begun to set in. Don't get me wrong, I love snuggling in and staying at home but sometimes I need to get out. I found these goodies at the goodwill and anDsci0001 Dsci0002 Dsci0003 Dsci0004_2 other thrift store.

Paige's lastest work and the "S" word again!

Paige has completed her first semester of HS and here is her last drawing from Art 1.Dsci0001 It's really vibrant and large. I hung it in the hallway from the den to kitchen so everyone could see it. This next semester is Pottery 1. I can't wait! I always give Paige the option to take her work for her room but if she gives it to me I'll display it or save it.

Yes!!! They said the "s" word for this afternoon and tonight! Maybe many inches. I am planning on playing with my neighbors. Pictures later.

Things I wear everyday and my favorite site.

It seems that I wear the same things a lot. My brown converse, a brown thrifted wool purse I bought for $1.50 along with my Timssally button and my thrifted hoodie from A & F. Dsci0014 Dsci0016 Dsci0017 Dsci0019

My favorite flicker site to visit is wardrobe remix. I like seeing how people put funky outfits together each day. A lot of style!!!

Southern Snow

They said the S word early in the week and I was so excited. The timing isn't perfect with exams and everything but I'll take it. At 5:00 am we were awaken by a automated call from the school system saying school was canceled. This is what it looked like outside. Dsci0002 It's not much and it's turned to sleet but it looks pretty and seems to quiet the outside to a whisper. Here's what is looked like from my computer chair. Dsci0005 Dsci0004 I already have a fire built and Ashes is settled in on the back of the couch.Dsci0007 Dsci0013 The good thing about a Southern Snow is that it's pretty for a day and gone the next. Only in rare times to we ever have multiple snow days...but one every so often is fine with me!!!!

Times have changed...

Long time ago, when Paige was very young, it seemed January and February creep by ever so slowly. We would sit in the big living room chair and read stories, watch the birds and watch as the sunlight hit my ever growing collection of sun catchers. Now the only person who sits in the chair is my cat Butter and I only see my catchers when I open and close the curtains. Paige is growing up and started driving yesterday in Driver's Ed class. With that after school, school work and now exams she barely has time to sit herself. I'm hoping that with 3 days off next week, she can regroup for the next semester, read, practice her guitar and rest. Who knows, maybe we'll sit in the big chair and take a few moments to reflect.Dsci0011 Dsci0014 Dsci0015 Dsci0010 Dsci0008
