Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Winter Layers & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #260
Coming out of the holiday season, Nancy and I decided to share New Things for the New Year, but now that winter in the northern hemisphere has put many of us in a deep freeze, Winter Layers seemed to be an appropriate theme. So for this month’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, we are looking for your favorite layered up cold weather outfits. Or maybe you have a layered winter outfit that was a total fail but worth sharing anyway. This is all for fun anyway! What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book? It is a monthly series that Nancy and I both publish on our blogs on the 15th of each month. Anyone who…

Another Fall Flashback Outfit: Tie Dye with an Oversized Sweater & Link Up On the Edge #280
Last Friday, I shared a fall flashback outfit because I have been too lazy and too cold to take new photos recently. And since my freezing cold laziness stuck around for another week, I am sharing another fall flashback outfit today. Last week’s tie dye and denim outfit was way cuter and much more flattering than my oversized sweater and tie dye outfit this week. Generally I can put together outfits that are both comfortable and stylish. But sometimes I am fine with just the comfortable part. Regardless of my not so flattering oversized outfit, I do love the way the colors worked with the autumn river background. Fall is…

The Magnificent 8 are Putting Pins on Things
The Magnificent 8 is back sharing with you some unique and interesting ways to style brooches or pins. If you know me at all, then you know that I have small collections of all sorts of different fashion items…shoes, kimonos, hats, gloves, tights, socks, coats, jeans, scarves, and many more. So it should come as no surprise when I tell you that I also have a small collection of brooches that I have acquired throughout the years. Some are vintage and antique, some are heirlooms, some were thrifted, some were gifted, and some were bought at retail stores most likely on clearance. But all of them have a special place…

Opposite Day & Your Own Twist Link Up #40
January 25 is National Opposite Day, a creative child’s philosophy course turned into an annual celebration of opposites. This self referential paradox lends itself to a day filled with all sorts of philosophical questionings which can lead to fun experiments in opposites. Have you ever wondered what the world would look like if everything was the opposite of what it is? What if the sky were green and the grass were blue? What if mathematics was not an exact science? What if we walked on our hands instead of our feet? What if children ruled the world? What if rain fell up instead of down? The aim of Opposite Day…

The Thrifty Six Brighten Up January
Here we are in the deepest, coldest, grayest part of winter in the North Country and I am scrambling to type this post at the last minute hoping I don’t lose internet connection. I can hear this giant ice and snow storm pelting my house. It sounds sort of like someone is throwing rock salt against the windows with an unwavering consistency. I took a peek out into the darkness of 4:30 a.m. and the snow was blowing so wildly at about 40 mph that it looks like there some sort of apocalyptic event going on out there. The weather people are predicting total snow accumulations of 8-12 inches before…
