collections

Little collections trickle into our house all day long. Rye seems to always have a pebble, stick, acorn or flower tucked tightly in each hand.

There is so much to explore at North Mountain Park.

hot pink business suit and other thrifty finds

 

Life has been a wee bit crazy of late but at least the thrifting has been good. Last week I spent one of my precious babysitter sessions hitting up my favorite thrift haunts and found a few gems. Here they are, top to bottom.

- I now own a vintage hot pink silk business suit. The blazer fits perfectly and I plan to wear it with jeans. The matching skirt is a little on the small side but is prettty cute, so maybe I'll squeeze into it. I think that I'd only wear the skirt and blazer together on halloween. It's a little intense.

- Can you believe that I almost passed on this fantastic necklace? Luckily technology stepped in and I was able to consult a couple trusted friends via iphone photos who set me straight. This necklace is going to be a show stopper when I have the occasion to wear it.

- Vintage coach shoulder bag. A good find indeed.

- Finally, this crazy ring. It reminds me of some kind of sea coral or anemone. It's not quite the pod ring, but a similar idea.

house paint

It took us a while to paint the house, but earlier this summer it finally happened.

These photos aren't the best (I took them in the blaring mid-day sun) but a few friends and family members wanted to see and the blog seems like a good way to share.

meet blanche

This week at the farmers market I bought eggs from a different vendor than my usual egg seller. When I got home and opened my carton I found a trading card featuring one of the farm's layers. I totally loved it. Honestly, I'll probably keep buying from them so that I can meet more of the flock!

Here is the write up on Blanche:

Blanche is living the good life on the farm. Along with her sister, she was rescued from an unhappy situation, but is now a happy chicken. She is a bit skittish, but she is a loyal chicken friend.
