i have to admit, i wasn't much of a josh ritter at first. i love listening to albums in their entirety - it took me two rounds of "so runs the world away" and then i was happily hooked!

happy moday, dearies! did you all have a nice weekend? mine was delightful, although i'm suffering from major brain fog today!

on saturday i zipped downtown to pick up supplies from my favorite stores in the fabric and jewelry districts. i went early to beat the crowds, and was greeted with the most wonderful overcast day. i took advantage of the deserted streets and snapped a few pics of some gorgeous buildings!

i discovered a new-to-me trimmings shop and hit the lace jackpot! terrific inspiration for the birdcage veil i'm working on!

tell me about your weekend!

i recently discovered the darling etsy shop seven poppies. my immediate sadness upon learning they would be closing up shop on september 1st was instantly made brighter when discovering their new shop anna and roy!

those nancy drews are perfect for a special someone i know!
