Let me start out by saying I have small feet.  My friend Cindy (who is tall, slender, and who’s feet are not small) says they are “freakishly small”!  I wear a ladies size 5, but sometimes will make do with a  5 1/2 or even a 6 (modern sizing) if I am desperate. I can [...]

One of the things that really struck me during  our trip to Germany and Austria was how many people were using bikes as transportation.  Of course, they make it easy there, with dedicated bike/hiking paths connecting the various towns and villages.  I am sure that the incentive of gas prices (for unleaded) being the equivalent [...]

I went shopping with my daughter the other day – running errands and such.  Here’s what she wore
Yep, that’s a crinoline over her long shorts!  She went for a not-so-fluffy one, and I think she totally rocked the look!  I think it’s pretty cool that my girl is into vintage and prefers to shop thrift [...]

Longest day…shortest night
I hear that on this day, if you look carefully and perhaps leave out some bread and honey,
you might just see some fairies when they  come out to play.
I’m off to see if I can spot any, and will be taking a short break from blogging.
I look forward to sharing my adventures with [...]

The vintage crinolines from last week’s auction adventure are all washed – final count 53!! Totally amazing. Here’s what they looked like all nice and clean – piled on the guest room bed. Sort of puts into one’s mind the Princess and the Pea story, only instead of mattresses I have a pile of frothy [...]

I’ve been wanting to do this post for a while now.  Mother’s Day Weekend seems like the perfect time…………
Some of my blog friends may have noticed that when I leave a comment on their blogs, my email address is listed as “lostnfound”.  There is actually a story behind that, and I thought I would share [...]

The response to my very first give-away just takes my breath away.  Thanks to all of you for your sweet comments.  I have been enjoying visiting everyone’s blogs, and am looking forward to spending lots more time on them.  Hearing from old friends (your comments totally cracked me up, guys!) as well as new friends [...]

It is hard to believe that  a year has gone by since I embarked on this blogging adventure.  I have met so many wonderful and creative souls, and had some really incredible experiences along the way.  As a thank you, I would like to have a give-away to celebrate my  1 year anniversary.  I have [...]

Wishing everyone a love-filled Valentine’s Day!

It’s a cold an blustery day here.  My cozy house is singing from the wind (some sort of interesting effect to the placement of the house, the siding or something – reminds me of whale song!)  The snow queen and I are snug in the sitting room finishing up some final projects before returning to [...]
