Wildflowers – we belong among them!

Or in this case, wrapped up in wildflowers.  The more I look at this shirt, the more I like it.  It was one from my thrift shop excursion last week. At $2 bucks, I didn’t even look at it that closely, but went on the weight of the cotton.  It just had that feel.  It also had fabulous stitched flowers on the left breast.  And At first, I thought the flowers might be a little TOO wild… but once on… I love it.

Snce it was snowing and raining and super windy, I couldn’t take photos outside. I also had a little help with the inside photo shoot today, so I made a little video.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool&  —  Same dress.  100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

Snow and ice on the Southern Washington Coast. Crazy — snow at the beach.  Howling wind, and power outages.  Presents a bit of a challenge, but nothing terrible.

I finished up week two of the dancing instruction with Carla, and made a couple of videos for a blog post…  will do that later.

You can check out that Blog Page,  for Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging. I am super excited about this challenge and a totally new skill, and can’t wait to see what you think.)

Here’s what I came up with for today!

Quite honestly,  I have had this necklace for about 30 years.  Times that I have worn it: once.  I was going through my jewelry box, finding things to donate… and I came across it.  So really, this look started with the necklace.

Love the embroidery!!

Crazy little wildflower shirt over Woolamina, and leggings.

Those are my everyday crocs — got them at the croc outlet in California.

And of course, the Dude and Rainey.

This is my Rv HOME — or as I call it – my WHEEL estate.  I live here fulltime at the beach in Southern Washington.  The quilt hanging up covers up the murphy bed.  See more about my RV lifestyle HERE!

Here is the tag from the shirt.  It is made in Canada– I am going to have to do some research on this brand, see what other patterns they have.

Crocs to the left, crocs to the right…

day 15: long way home

"Forgive me pretty baby, but I always take the long way home." Tom Waits wrote it but Norah Jones really brings it home.  And I think about those words and wonder if the "long way" is creative avoidance or a statement about finding one's way. No matter, it's a great...

days 10 & 11: our house

I love our house -- which is, by the way, a 24' rv.  I live here with my two dogs, on the beach in SW Washingon.  And, although I spend a lot of time in Portland, where my daughter lives, this is our house. I look at it as trading REAL estate for WHEEL estate.  Made...
