Thank you all for your very sweet and kind comments. I love them! And welcome to new readers! I love hearing from you, and I love that your visits lead me, in turn, to your own lovely blogs! I have found so much inspiration and help out there, reading what you all have to say.
This morning I put on one of my favorite long dresses for some morning time in the garden. Vix, this dress totally makes me think of you!
I think this maxi dress may be homemade. There is no label, and the lace, trim, and stitching are definitely reminiscent of something homemade. I do think it's vintage. Reminds me of the 1970s, which is a good thing since Sarah of Misfits Vintage has invited everyone to rejoice this week over flowers. She has declared it FLORAL WEEK. If the 1970s were not a time of Flower Power, I don't know if there ever was a time of Flower Power!
I love the bright morning sunlight in the garden. It does something for a woman's soul!
Perhaps I can darken it up a bit, though, to show you the LOVERLY blue tiered skirt on this dress!
Kneeling down to talk to the flowers. Sarah, are you getting this??
A little more detail. My Steve Madden boots. The tiny FLORAL print on the dress is scrumptious! Will show you the beautifully detailed leather belt in just a momento.
Meanwhile...
Sun, please warm my face. But then again, don't. I don't care to acquire anymore wrinkles at this point!
Fall is approaching in my neck of the woods, but I pulled the pink to the forefront of this rose picture, just in celebration of FLORAL WEEK.
Long hair, always in fashion IMHO.
A closer look at the Silver Creek belt.
