Outfit // November Breezes

Outfit // November Breezes

Hello dearies! Have the breezes of November reached your neck of the woods yet? Our woods have been almost completely emptied of their bounteous leaves, and the gray-brown of the winter months is starting to show its face. Thankfully the bitter cold has not yet arrived, though I hear tell that there is to be snow this weekend. Botheration! November always puzzles me, because at the beginning, there are little hints and teases of snow, and then we go for almost two months(!) without a single snowflake. Finally, if we're lucky, we'll get snow around Christmastime, though thankfully its only a powdered sugar coating usually, and not a carton of ice-cream. ;) Anyways, because the weather was nice yesterday, I was able to wear this between-seasons outfit!

What's on My Sewing Table // Palazzo Pants
Hello dearies! Sometimes things just do not work out the way you had planned them. I had planned on writing up this "garment making process" post in expectation of showing you the finished product next week, but alas, that shall not be. At least not in the way I had planned.

Remembering WWII // The USO Show!

Remembering WWII // The USO Show!
Hello dearies! Before we (Jessica and I) get started, I want you all to do something for me. Pull up Spotify, or if you don't have that, pull up iTunes or Amazon. Search for "The Big Debut" by the Boyer Family Singers. Press play, purchase, or whatever it requires for you to be able to hear the music. Now. Now, you can start reading this post, and as you look at the few photos that we have of the Remembering WWII U.S.O show (courtesy of the amazing Charles Vernier), imagine yourself there, listening to the music, and enjoying the beautiful, fading memories of an amazing day. Alright, you all set? Let's get started.

Remembering WWII // The Outfits

Remembering WWII // The Outfits
Hello Dearies! I can hardly believe it's Wednesday! It seems as if it should be Tuesday, but I suppose that is because half of my Monday was stolen by some much needed sleep after the long car ride home from Remembering WWII. Oh, what a splendid, fabulous, never-going-to-forget time we had down in Tennessee...
If I remember correctly, one of the things y'all wanted to see the most from our trip was our outfits that we wore for the reenactment! Well then, without further ado...

Meet-Up with Alison

Meet-Up with Alison
Hey all! You don't know how excited I am that it's Saturday tomorrow and we get to sleeepppp innnnn.......! :) I have been battling a yucky sinus infection/cold this past week, so getting up at 5:30 each morning to do geometry, plus our family dealing with a stressful time of a very sick dog at the vet's, hasn't exactly been delightful... Anyways, I have a wonderful meet-up to share with you, so let's buckle down and get to it! :)

Tu-Lip Tulip Time

Tu-Lip Tulip Time
Hey all! We have a busy day ahead of us (including two singing engagements! Prayers would be appreciated :), but I wanted to stop in and give you a glimpse of our time in Holland, Michigan after we attended our friends' wedding in Kalamazoo. It was truly magical visiting the Dutch Village and the Windmill Island Gardens. We went round and round on the swings, Brigid and I rode a 1940's ferris wheel, and all of us simply devoured the delightful, peaceful, child-like surroundings. It was truly a fabulous time before we had to head back down to ol' Ohio.
