I'm so excited that I have finished telling you all about the wonderful road trip I had in America. Now I can start blogging in real time back here in New Zealand. I have been hard at work getting back into the business and relearning all the things I had forgot. I can't wait to tell you about the changes I am going to make after I get settled in again. It is nice having my own space back with all my clothes hanging up, my own bed and not living out of a suitcase!
Lately the sky has been filled with delicious smells of freshly mown grass, barbeques and left over fireworks. All signs that summer is on its way for me again! Today was the loveliest day it was just the right temperature to get ice creams and go for adventures to find pretty places. I have always wanted to take pictures here. I was a little late for the blossoming trees, but the daises and dandylions were scattered elegantly through the grass and the sunlight was filtering through the trees perfectly!
I adore this dress I picked up at a thrift store a few weeks ago. Caleb thinks it looks like a sack. If so I think it is the prettiest sack I have ever laid eyes on. It reminds me of the depression era where ladies would make clothing out of any sort of fabric they could get there hands on! The bow I dug up again in my box of no return and it has been some what permanently attached to my head ever since.
Thank you to everyone for all the comments and for following my blog! It has been such a surprise to get to 50 so fast and it is all so very kind of you to care about my little blog enough to that!

Oh gosh, it is a BEAUTIFUL sack (you know, it kind of reminds me of a medieval piece of clothing. In a good way!), I want it! Great great great taste. x
ReplyDeletecute outfit! I wish I had a hat like that.
ReplyDeleteoh, and pertaining to the comment you left on my blog, I do like the stiletto eye liner, and the way it looks and stays on, but I'm not used to the applicator tip! haha but other than that, I do like it! :D
Beautiful photos! What kind of camera do you use?
