		<title>Off To The Ol&#8217; Homeplace&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today my dad, Mycie, and myself are headed down the 5 to visit our kinfolk in California&#8217;s Central Valley. We make the trip a few times a year, but usually not in the sweltering summer. The reason we pulled this together at the last minute was because I started researching my family history, or genealogy, [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;I never wear beautiful clothes just for the function; there always has to be an element of fantasy, or a story&#8221;</title>

Lose yourself in the fantastical clothing of summers past and&#8230;
Get your Witch Priestess on:
Size 7.5/8

		<title>Summer Thrift Scores</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Ah, the thrifting life is certainly a rewarding one. Surprising, at times tedious, but always worth the effort. I recently scored both of these white lace dresses (thus adding to my ever growing collection of all things white lace) and this perfect stretchy belt and these wicked, witchy purple shoes (which will be for sale [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pink, Pineapples, and a Previa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For months now Graham and I have been scheming up ways to get ourselves a second car. We have discussed at length the necessary evil of cars, devised one plan after another for the most easy and affordable way to be a All American Two Car Family, and stressed ourselves to the max trying to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paper Dolls of the American Revolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friends, I have a new obsession.
I have posted before (though you probably already knew, at least if you grew up an American girl) about the awesomeness of Dover paper doll and sticker books.
The other day I was in downtown Grass Valley at my favorite place- Booktown Books. Where I found a fan-freaking-tastic vintage paper doll [...]]]></description>

		<title>White Lace and Lacey Maye, or, What I Did On My Summer Vacation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Fair warning- in this post I ramble, say &#8220;speaking of&#8230;&#8221; three times, jumble up the chronological order of photos, post way too many photos, indulge myself fully in the only few days of summer &#8220;vacation&#8221; I am likely to get this year, and philosophize- badly- about death and loss).
I spent the last Friday through Tuesday [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wonder of Tasha Tudor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A few weeks ago my friend Jessica of Cast &#38; Bind was over, and somehow our conversation turned to Tasha Tudor.

I had never heard of her but was very intrigued, especially when I  checked out the website above.

I got the book The  Private World of Tasha Tudor from the library last week, along [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[


Take my black and rainbow striped beach cover up dress and favorite burgundy boots, throw some sort of black lacy crochet spider web looking piece over it, and you got yourself (or I got myself rather) two killer 100% thrifted going-out-on-a-summer-night outfits.
