PA Trip #1 : Meeting Up with the Bloggers

Yeah, I'm still here...been a busy little bee, but I'm still here. Mom and I went to Pennsylvania last weekend. It was so much fun! We did the trip there in two days...and stopped to meet some bloggy friends of ours...

This is Judah...he likes crawlwalking...

Post #2 coming tomorow...

"What I'm Wearing" : Vintage Sundress

Thought it might be fun to do a "What I'm Wearing" post. I found this vintage-style sundress at the Vintage Corner store yesterday. I was afraid it wouldn't fit, but I tried it on and it didn't. The zipper presents a small problem...even though the sides easily meet, it doesn't want to zip up unless you slip both arms out of the straps and twist it around, zip it up, then jam both arms BACK into the straps. it also came smelling slightly of cigarette smoke, but a douse in hot water and soap cured it of that.





Dress: Vintage store
White shirt: Kohl's

Wore it to church today. :-)

Where I've visited...

visited 20 states (40%)

I can kind of tell that most of my traveling has been confined to just the little area in mid-eastern US...I have been to Hawaii, Arizona, and Florida which are both out of that area.

Ye Grande Olde Flood

To start off, I do not ever remember a time that we and the surrounding area have been flooded this much. This is pretty amazing. I actually didn't get pictures of Medina, but suffice it to say when we driving home from in town, just about every yard and every field we passed looked like our pond. I was babysitting in Medina during the storm. In 20 minutes, we got about 2 inches of rain plus hail. It thundered, rained, lightening-ed, and finally hailed. It was dark as midnight...really scary! And the 2-year-old I was babysitting was less scared than I was! :-P

The end of our street/neighbor's yard:





The pond was up and over. The water runs off a dip down to the ditch.

Feelin' Feminine Spring Challenge - Day 3

I LOVE my outfit for today. I just got the shirt from Kohl's. Doesn't it look delightfully Victorian/Vintage-y?

Sorry about the somewhat rumpled appearence. It was really windy!

I think I like it better with just the locket, not the lock and key necklace, don't you think?




Earrings are from one of my mother's favorite Etsy shops.


I didn't actually wear these shoes today because I don't like heels (I'm 5'10" and 2 1/2" heels make me a tad too tall for my comfort!), but I thought they looked cute with the outfit.


Blouse - Kohl's
Tank - Justice
Denim Gored Skirt - Christopher and Banks
Shoes - Mudd
Necklaces - Various places
Earrings - Liz's Fineries

Feelin' Feminine Spring Challenge - Day 2

The Feelin' Femine challenge is a challenge to wear a skirt or dress every day for 7 days. It is hosted by Bramblewood Fashion and started by Feelin' Feminine.

Sorry for the lackluster quality of pictures today. I took them late at night and then had to edit them to adjust lighting/quality on the computer.
I had to wear a somewhat practicle outfit (no long, flowy skirts) because I was working today...which means I chase around an energetic two-year-old all day. I've been wearing knee-length skirts with bike shorts underneath for the past few days because they are a lot cooler when you're chasing that energetic two-year-old outside in 80-degree weather. :-)





Wish I had gotten a closeup of the detail of the tunic shirt. The neck and straps are braided knit with little gold chain braided into it. It's really cute. :-)

Outfit:
Denim skirt - Old Navy
Black shirt - Kohl's
Turqouise tunic shirt with chain detail - Kohl's
