Today on Reading Wednesday I’m back with the second half of the Ladies’ Home Magazine. We’ll be continuing right where I left off last week. We’ll start right off with the eleventh page of the magazine. It’s full of advice on manners for that time period. It’s interesting to read, though most isn’t really applicable to modern times. I enjoyed…
Today I’ll be sharing my top 5 outfits of the summer (that I posted here on the blog, obviously. 😉 ) I thought it would be fun to look over past outfits, as we come into autumn. That last part is something I am very happy about, by the way. 😉 Let’s get started! Outfit #1 Full disclosure: Technically this…
Today I’ll be a sharing a few photos of the process of personalizing a hand-bound book. Yes, I’ve never posted anything like this before, but that’s what Simply Saturdays are for! Here is the book in question. I should make it clear that I was not the one to do the binding. This is my brother’s copy of The Lord…
Today I’ll be sharing some of the highlights from a Ladies’ Home Magazine I was recently given. Some of the pages are quite interesting. 🙂 And on the first page we have…an ad. I was actually surprised at the sheer amount of ads that made up the contents of this magazine. I’m not including a picture of every single one,…
Today I’ll be sharing a few photos of my new patchwork denim skirt (the making of which is here, and here) as part of an outfit. Let’s get started! And here it is! I paired it with a long shirt, since it’s a little low-waisted (more on that later). I didn’t want to worry about bending over and my shirt…
Today is about making a jean skirt, the second part. The skirt actually turned out a lot better than I thought it might! So let’s get into how I took from here to finished! As you can see in this photo, the back is a lot neater after top-stitching. I ironed down the seams, then stitched them. Oh, and I…
Today we’ll be taking a look at Wives and Daughters, which was written by the same author as North and South. Let’s get started! I found this book when I was wandering around Barnes and Noble, trying to find something to buy with a gift card. I spotted this one, recognized the author, and read the back. As usual when…
Well, maybe. 😉 There’s still a little more of Summer left, so this one may not actually be “the last dress of Summer.” Anyway, I’ll move on. Today’s Monday, so you know what that means: Another outfit post! Let’s get started. This outfit was worn for, you guessed, church a couple of Sundays ago. I’d never actually worn the dress…
