Stealing Ts & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #655
I admit it. I am a thief. I have been stealing Ts anywhere I can find them. Ever since the T on my laptop keyboard quit responding to the gentle tap-tap-tapping of my fingertips, I have been forced to copy and paste the letter T every single time I need one. And you know what? We use a lot of Ts in the English language so I am becoming quite an expert at letter larceny. No Ts are safe from my copy and paste game. I will steal them from Google, from news articles and Facebook posts, from email messages, from your websites and from my own. Whatever window happens…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Pearls & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #654
Last month, we saw all things sheer and this month we are honoring the world’s oldest gem, the pearl. For our purposes, however, you don’t need to have genuine pearls. Fake and faux or plain old pearly plastic beads will do just fine. But if you do have genuine pearls to share, please show us those as well. I love pearls and have a few pieces with authentic pearls but most of my pearly things are undeniably and obviously fake pearls of the common plastic bead sort. Remember anything goes here. We are just having fun sharing our pearly pieces! What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book? The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is…

Divine Birthday Revelations
Happy birthday to me, y’all! Yesterday was the day of my birth 49 years ago. That’s 1974, for those of you who may not be super quick at math. Remember when the 1970s weren’t that long ago? And suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the decade in which I was born has gone from outdated to vintage. We Genaration X’ers are a badass group of middle age folks though, aren’t we? Adaptable and resilient, sensitive and strong, responsible and fun. We know lots of stuff because we lived through lots of stuff. And I am grateful for all of it, even the shit parts. If I have learned nothing…

The Other Ugly Dress Transformation & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #653
Before I get to the second ugly dress transformation, I must first wish my amazing husband (and photographer) a very happy birthday! We will be celebrating both of our birthdays (mine is on Tuesday), as well as Memorial Day, quietly at home on this holiday weekend. We are expecting gorgeous spring weather which is perfect for a birthday holiday weekend staycation! And with such beautiful weather on the horizon, my mind is racing with spring and summer outfit ideas so I do think I will be playing some dress up and pretending I am a fashion model over the weekend as well. I also have to make the curtains for…

“Florals? For Spring?
