Blessings and Glad Tidings to you, my dear readers. Now let’s get groovy. This dress is a handmade jobbie I found on eBay last year. It’s a simple shift dress that dates back to the 1960s. The gray color, the cream cuffs, and the modest long sleeves give it a Reverend Mother feel. I envision …
In three days, Hubby and I will return to Seattle after just over a month in Arizona. Even though we love visiting family and friends here, I am itching to return to get back into my regular routine. While I wait, my impatience pushes me to create something anyway. That’s how my last post came …
Audrey Hepburn was, without a doubt, one of the most iconic fashionistas of the 20th Century. Even today, nearly 57 years after the premier of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, most of us can place the dress she wore in the movie, even if it’s shown on the back of a rainbow-colored zebra. Pretty much all of her movies …

Over this coming week we’ll share memories of summer get-away styles from the past as well as ways we style them today. My story kicks us off with memories of The Stratford Festival and …
