Happiest Songs

I have always dreamed of owning a record player, this one is a bit of a fixer-upper but I'm sure it will be the bees knees in no time!

What are some of your favorite "must have" records? 

Let us know in the comments!

If you look really carefully, you can see that the print on my dress is actually a man's face! He has a bowler hat, a monocle, a bow tie and a sweet mustache to top it all off! Pretty neat if you ask me.

Hello Spring

Yay for apricot blossoms! Spring is in the air! 

This is where I start singing and Lulu recites a poem...

Nah, just kidding. That's far too mainstream.

 If you know of any exciting apricot recipes, please share them in the comments!

Narnia is Where I'll Be

Clive Staples Lewis, or C.S. Lewis as he is more commonly known, is my hero. Even now, his work has taken me from dark times, into a magical place like none other. 

As a little girl, my greatest wish was to be Lucy Pevensie. Lulu would pretend to be Susan and we would have great adventures as we looked for majestic wardrobes and talking animals. 

"Daughter of Eve from the far land of Spare Oom where eternal summer reigns around the bright city of War Drobe, how would it be if you came and had tea with me?" 

 The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis  
chapter II, p. 11

"He had a red woolen muffler round his neck and his skin was rather reddish too."

If you haven't read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, never fear! Borrow it from the library. Steal it from your grandmother! Do whatever it takes to get your hands on this timeless classic. 
Or you could always buy it off of Amazon... Just a thought.

Until next time!

Yard Sale Rescues

I have always had a fascination with all things vintage. There is something about holding a piece of history that makes my all giddy inside! Everything that is pictured was found at a yard sale. 

As I walked away with my arms full of treasures, I felt victorious and slightly guilty; Nothing cost more than 25 cents! The lady that was hosting the yard sale said that everything was either her late grandmother's or great-grandmother's belongings or something handed down, but she couldn't remember from where.
I almost felt as if I where rescuing these precious belongings from a terrible fate.
We need to value and protect our treasures! I'm not saying we need to save everything, (just imagine, "this is the wrapper from billy's first Popsicle") all I ask is please don't put your great-grandmother's hymn book in a yard sale.

The book titled "Our Pocket Notes" is the one with the beautiful hand writing down below.

Hidden Gnomes

 Can you see the hidden gnomes? One of the main reasons I love wearing these socks (sorry I gave it away) is because nothing is better than seeing someone you have been sitting next to for the past half hour exclaim: "There are gnomes on your socks!!!" I guess I am easily amused. If I am feeling extra witty, I exclaim: "really? that is fantastic!" 

The boots I am wearing are actually men's shoes. I am such a rebel.
They are really quite nice! Because I wear a 9 1/2 or 10 in women's, I wear a 7 1/2 or 8 in men's. After reading the reviews, I found that I needed a 7(they run a tad big). 

In short, if you want to buy the right size in men's shoes, size down two sizes. (this is what I did, I can't guarantee that it will work for all shoes)

Fall/Winter 1940

Hello! Kenna here. Sorry about the quantity of posting or lack there of. We have been very busy with other fantastic projects (like the new header! Don't you love it?!?! We sure do) Never fear, we have some exciting outfit ideas on the horizon.

1940's winter/fall fashion is my weakness. 
I absolutely adore the way women embraced buttons, midi skirts, fun collars and kitten heels. All of which are right up my ally.
There is something about staying classy, yet warm that strikes my fancy. 
I really enjoy looking through my grandmother's old photographs and seeing what she wore when she was young. There is one dress in particular that looks quite a bit like the one in the last photo.
Oh how I wish she still had it! At least she enjoyed it, rather than putting it at the back of her closet.

Thanks! XOXO, Kenna

Well how de do da day to you! A faux bob can really do wonders for a girl. It's always nice to have a change for the afternoon,
(and then succumb to taking out all of the millions of bobby pins.) 
I hope you all have a wonderful Veterans Day! Say safe and remember to never mix cherry soda with chocolate milk. It tastes rather odd.

National Hug Your Cat day i.e. National Cat Day

HAPPY NATIONAL CAT DAY!!! If you are reading this on the 30th no need to worry, every day is National Cat Day in our book.

We are the biggest cat lady wannabes.

Sadly, we cannot own a cat due to our current situation :(

So obviously that means: 

1. Owning a vast amount of cat apparel is a must.

2. On occasion we call our dogs cats, just for fun. (As specially the little one, she could definitely pass for a cat.)

Hug your kitty(s) for us! 

If you don't have a kitty, you could always look at cat memes on Pinterest... or hug someone else's cat.

Glad to be Plaid

My Grandma is so amazing; Her nickname is grandma fireworks for good reason. Last Saturday, she came by for a visit and brought this treasure. The skirt I'm wearing, was one of her school skirts while she was in high school. She said I could have it (THANK YOU GRANDMA!!!!) as long as I remember to get it dry cleaned, and not to throw it in the dryer. We did the math and figured she would have bought it around 1943. The tag is worn out but everything else is in pretty good condition. The necklace I'm wearing is a mini harmonica... yes it works. If the conversation gets a bit dull just give it a toot and poof! all of your problems are gone!
