Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Peach Fuzz
Happy April, y’all! It is supposed to be spring but we have snow forecasted for tomorrow and I am not all that happy about it. Also, I am not thrilled that we are sitting at ground zero for a huge total eclipse event that is happening in a park just a few blocks from our house on Monday. Our little town of 24,000 people is expecting an influx of 174,000 people this weekend to view the total solar eclipse that is happening on April 8. The city has estimated that most of these traveling eclipse viewers will be at the park. I am not sure where 174,000 are going to…

Songful Style Link Party #25 | “Girl On Fire” by Alicia Keys
Oh my goodness, why are the weeks and months flying by so quickly? Time really does speed up the older we get. I do not think I am a fan of this type of time warp. Yet somehow here we are at the end of March anyway and it’s time for another musical challenge with my fantastic friends Suzy and Marsha! For this month’s challenge, Marsha chose “Girl On Fire” by Alicia Keys as our outfit inspiration. I shared details about the song and the artist as well as some photographic inspiration in this post. I love that these song lyrics were inspired by the struggle and beauty that is…

The Thrifty Six in Graphic Prints
The Thrifty Six is a group of international women with a passion for preloved fashion who meet once a month in our little space on the internet to share our thrifty outfits. On the third Monday of every month, we will all share an outfit based on a theme that features preloved wardrobe pieces.

New York State of Mind & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #693
I am writing this post on Tuesday morning, sitting on Becca’s couch in beautiful Tuckasegee, North Carolina, while her adorable pup Emmylou snores beside me. It is too dark to capture a photo right now so I went and swiped one from Becca’s Facebook page. Just look at that face! Emmylou and I are kindred spirits. She is most definitely my favorite canine on the planet. My trip has been wonderful so far. I drove most of Saturday and Sunday and I was so grateful for clear weather and light traffic the whole way. Becca invited her friends Gordon and Billy over for dinner on Sunday night which was really…
