Rose in Bloom

Hello again! I have a few recommendations for Reading Wednesday, plus a little story. Today’s post involves two books. This first one that you see pictured above is the first in a two-part series written by Louisa May Alcott. Fun Fact: I found this book at a local antique store. I hadn’t been able to find it anywhere else, so…

Denim and Pearls?

Hi! Are you ready for another Modest Monday post? Today we’ll be looking into an unlikely combination: denim and pearls. What do you think? For myself, I think that it works. The black shirt gives the outfit a little elegance, complimenting the pearls, and the roundness of the necklace matches the polka dots. I wore this outfit to church just…

A Mini Garden Tour

Hello! It’s Simply Saturday. I thought we’d venture outside for today’s post. I decided I’d show you around my little flower patch. Keep in mind that this is what it’s like in earlier Spring, so it doesn’t look like much, yet. 😉 Pictured above is my little garden. It’s housed in an old water trough that was found on the…

Of Classics and Captains

How are you on this blustery Winds-day? I have a few new books to share with you. Let’s start! The Classic: I’ll begin with the classic alluded to in the title. This is probably one of the lesser known (or appreciated) Austen books. It does have a slightly different tone to it than the others, such as Emma or Pride…

Headbands and Maxis

Hello! It’s Monday. You know what that means! This outfit was worn a few weeks ago. Each piece that I incorporated into it kind of influenced the next one that I chose. For example, the flow-y skirt and fun print seemed to call for a scarf like the one I wrapped around my head. And the shirt is one of…

A Creamsicle Bear

Hello again! I’m back with another project to share on Simply Saturday. A Creamsicle bear. Well, really, a bear and a pair of shoes. I made these cute little crocheted pieces as a gift for a friend of mine, who’s having a baby. I’d never made anything like these before, but I think they turned out rather nicely. What do…

Ishmael Worth

Hello again! Are you up for another recommendation? As I was mentally sorting through my books yesterday, deciding on what to share today, I realized that most of the books I’ve recommended have been well-known. Most of you have probably read, or are at least familiar with, the books that I have featured in past posts. Today I’d like to…

The First Look

Hello, how are you on this fine Modest Monday? I wore this outfit to church yesterday. As you can see, I finished the skirt I was working on! It turned out really well, and though I might shorten the hemline a teeny bit (it looks a bit awkward as it is if I wore flats) I’m really happy with it!…
