Hello there darlings, 

It's snowing.  Yes, nothing new here.  So naturally I gathered up a couple of my gal pals - who happen to be teens that are part of the youth group I help out with and we hit the road for some thrifting, some Panera, and some picture taking.  Girls just want to have fun, ya know?  

The night was filled up with bowls of piping hot soup, Vampire Weekend on the radio and snuggle-umptious sweaters that we each snagged up at Salvation Army.  Not bad for a frosty evening out, eh?  

Anyhow, this is what I wore.  The hubs said I looked like a character from Zelda.  (To him this was a good thing).  And just for the record...I'm totally wearing my dress backwards, if you haven't already noticed.  Sometimes a good "alteration" doesn't require a needle and thread.

So that's just about it.  I'm currently in the kitchen making funfetti cupcakes.  The snow brings out the baker in me.  How about you?

Love Bunches, 

Love - Full

Tis the season for weddings, that's for certain.   Just before my little sis got married - some of our very best friends decided to tie the knot as well, J.O.P style.  The Mr. and I were there serving as best man and matron of honor to cheer on our friends and we couldn't have been more thrilled for them.  This coming April, a traditional wedding ceremony & reception will be held for these two lovebirds, but for now all the bells and whistles just weren't needed.   It's the heart that matters most because after all if you are truly in love, what else more do you need?

Wishing you a love - full afternoon darlings!  

Love Bunches,

Brand New Day

 

Hello darlings!

This weekend finds me back in my hometown to finish up some planning for my sister's bridal shower next week and meet-up with a very lovely blogger friend of mine - but more on that some other time.  

A couple Friday's ago, when the hubs and I were volunteering at our town fair, we got a frightening phone call and learned that a couple of our close friends were in a car accident, hit by a Mac truck. After hearing that the car had flip over into a ditch, we really didn't know what to expect as we quickly drove to see them at the hospital.  So when we arrived it was the biggest relief to see them up and moving about with no cuts, scrapes, or anything much worse besides some aches and pains.  Saying the whole thing was scary would be an understatement and saying that it is a miracle that they survived it nothing more than true.

In celebration of life we all picked up and headed to Philly the very next day :)  A brand new day to live is the quite possibly the best gift ever.

Have a splendiferous weekend my friends.  Catch you soon!

Love Bunches, 

Blood Brothers

Saturday was spent in the company of great friends in a great city.  I stuffed myself with poached pear salad with goat cheese and shepherd's pie and later some good old fashioned banana ice cream with brownie chunks at The Franklin Fountain.  Then we frolicked by the water.  Boy did we ever frolic ... like a bunch of goobers, but it was fun and kind of silly.  At night we were serenaded by the lovely Ingrid Michaelson.  Though our feet hurt from standing a long while and we decided we were old enough to break out the orthopedics, the music was so sweet as was the evening, so it really didn't matter - especially since third row standing position was scored.  So we danced and we laughed and enjoyed one another's company and were very thankful that moving to a new town meant meeting friends like these.  Before heading back home we did the most unhealthy thing and got cheesesteaks and experienced the heart of Philly all together.  I think I felt like a kid again - out and about gallivanting and carrying on in a city that never sleeps.   I do believe being in the company of true blue friends, makes you feel young at heart...and that's quite a good feeling.

The End.

Wishing you a carefree week darlings!
Love Bunches,

Day Trippers

The other week, my good friend Kat (who might I add is one of the most genuine souls I've ever met), and I decided to day trip off to a charming little town called Lewisburg to relish a day full of antique treasures and relics from the days of yore.  It was a full day of eye candy both for the heart and soul and what I wound up with was bags full of vintage dresses with the most delightful little collars.

In the last antique shop we hit, the cutest little old lady, who was one of the vendors there approached me and told me she had something she thought I would love.  Of course I was intrigued.  She went on to  tell me that she had these little silk stockings from the 1950s tucked away where no one could find them and that she was hoping the right person would come along and really appreciate them.  Well, she got me hook, line, and sinker....they surely won my heart and will certainly be treasured.  How could I pass up little silk stockings with embroidered poodles?

Anyhow, twas one loverly day with one loverly gal and lots of loverly vintage darlings.  Hoping there will be plenty more gal-pallin day trips in our future:)

Catch you later,
Love bunches,
