Wishing for Spring

I used to wonder when I was younger if there was a store that only the sisters of the church would know about to go and purchase their hats for Sunday service.  To this day I keep wondering when one of them will pull me aside and finally tell me where they go for their "interesting" millinery.  Then I wonder if I'll wake up one day and actually feel like I'm finally ready to be wearing one and then go look for them on my own!

I think if I start wearing hats to church, it'll be more Kentucky Derby chic vs. church elder style.  And trust me-/I'm not ready to be a church elder just yet!

At any rate, sisters don't wait until Easter to bring it with the millinery, but I suspect I may see some over the top finery this weekend anyway.  And the one thing I know, those hats will be worn with elegance, style and pride.

Happy Easter!

Easter Eggs

I remember growing up our family would boil and dye eggs for Easter.  We'd get the kit from the store and spend the afternoon enjoying the colors and the mess we'd inevitably create.  My brothers, sister, and I couldn't wait for the hunt and who would find the chocolate egg.  That was then-this is now.  We never saw eggs like this back in the day.

Spring Cleaning

St. Patrick's Day-2010

After a long miserable winter, the East Coast is having a warm spring day.  Grab some music and get outside!

I added the pink in honor of my sands, 26 years ago today!  Love you all.
