Landscape Skirt

Here's Sara in her brand new Rachel skirt made out of vintage fabric in the most fantastic landscape pattern. Doesn't she look great? Come get yours this weekend! I will be at Craft O Rama in downtown New Bedford on Saturday from 11-4 and at SOWA In Boston on Sunday from 10-4. See you there!

Caitlin and Jeff

This weekend two of my best friends got married. It was beyond wonderful and one of the funnest nights of my life. The whole weekend was pretty great in fact. On Saturday morning all the girls went and got their nails done in Bristol while sipping iced coffees and that night was the rehearsal dinner at Jeff's mom's house. We ate delicious grilled pizzas in the backyard and did a run through of the ceremony. I wore these old lady silk striped shorts (although they feel more like linen) that I cuffed and took in a little bit, a ruffle silky shirt from TJ's, and a vintage belt, shoes, and jewelry. The outfit was a bit of a risk but I think that everyone liked it. I heard many times that I looked really tall and my legs were really long. It's amazing what some high waisted shorts can do! I can't wait to see the photos from the day of the wedding (I didn't take a single one) and will certainly share them with you.

Birthday Bling

As previously mentioned, Brian got me some pretty awesome gifts for my birthday, my favorites of which happen to be vintage jewelry that he picked out himself. I was so impressed!

As Local As It Gets

Well, haven't these past few weeks just flown by! The other night Brian and I were lucky enough to enjoy a delicious dinner using ingredients picked fresh from my parents' garden. We had a wonderful tombasmozz salad (as I have renamed caprese salads) with the tastiest yellow tomatoes I have ever had. For our main course we made eggplant parm using the most perfect cartoon character-esqe eggplants that were hiding near the stone wall. It's amazing how the taste of fresh veggies compares with imported or out of season ones. Delectable! Note: the eggplant parm wasn't the least bit photogenic so there are no photos of the finished product.

Frisbee and Grinders on the Beach

I actually had Friday night off this week! To celebrate, a bunch of us headed down to South Shore for a nice beach dinner. We stopped at A-1 Pizza in the commons on the way there and forgetting that it's the only pizza place in town, had to wait for quite a while. We (im)patiently killed time by eating pickle flavored chips and playing on the playground that's across the street. They aren't the wrist braking metal slides and tail bone splitting sea saw's anymore! This one was mostly all plastic complete with a rock climbing wall, various enclosed slides, and all sorts of other things to play around on. We knew it was time to call it quits when we were getting vertigo on the swings, that made me feel pretty old. Remember the days when we used to do backflips off those things right into the gravel?

The beach was fantastic! We got there just in time to watch the sun go down and play frisbee for a while. It was a bit chilly so swimming was out of the question but we did dip our toes in a bit. We were even welcomed by a hammerhead shark built out of sand that someone had previously constructed. I wore a fun summer vintage skirt and belt, a Banana Republic camisole, and vintage jewelry. It was a wonderful summer evening.
