And speaking of hot, doesn't this book cover
look like spicy fire?

| ...I have taught myself the recipes of my mother's people because these foods are for me as a chef, the easiest connections to the mysteries of who my mother was. Her identity remains stubbornly shrouded in the past, so I feed myself and the people I love the food that she made. But I can not see her face... from the book Yes, Chef by Marcus Samuelsson |

| T-shirt: ancient like me. Bracelets: gifts Necklace: too old to remember where it came from too. |
Maybe I should have titled this post "old lady wears old things"? Don't answer that. ;)

| My nieces EJ, Lil Bug, and nephew JJ. When they were at the zoo, a stranger was trying to get her child to smile and kept saying cheese. JJ thought she was talking to him and he did it, well not in the above photo. That one was taken months ago. |

..."I thumb through the pictures,
And know them all.
They said, "Do you remember when you saw her last"
I said, "Her skin is cinnamon,
Her skin is cinnamon."
I have too many stories, keeping it serious,
Some are collectors, some keep it straight,
It was a hospital,
I was delirious,
I clung to the stretcher
And drew them a heart."... Cinnamon by The Long Winters
well if you're an old lady who wears old things, than i am in that club, as well!!! i love your fiery red hair!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a coincidence, I have a similar skirt and a similar pair of shoes! You look gorgeous, always! And by the way, you are not old! What's old? Nothing, really! Just history! And even then, just some parts!
ReplyDeleteI loved the pics of your nephews and nieces, they are growing so fast, time flies! And your art journal is amazing! Today I heard something quite similar... "when things seem to be going wrong, then all is possible!" It means, a right thing will happen! denisesplanet com
I really like the quote from your book. Is it funny? I love funny memoirs. On a totally different topic, I think your blog is having comment problems via bloglovin. When I go through bloglovin, the comments don't work. But it does if I type in the name of your blog directly in the address bar.
ReplyDeletenever been to world or land either. I think Daisy said she went to Disney Land as a kid. She's begging me to go to Disney world.
ReplyDeleteI had a co-worker say she went to World on her honeymoon, and her husband has a phobia of rides, even the kiddie rides. If I was her, it wouldn't have been a long marriage. She's still happily married.
I say it every other comment I write, but I love that you use themes to tie together pieces of your posts, and that there's a pattern to them over time. It's a nice balance of predictability and surprise. These colours are ravishing on you. And the Anja Gockel sweater is making my heart sing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words Teddi! Love your AW13 selection and art journal :)
ReplyDeletethat blue and silver wallpaper is super similar to one of our wallpapers so it created this nice deja vu feeling. haha and now I noticed those leopard print booties too. I have a similar pair and autumn means I can wear them again.
ReplyDeleteyou wear such nice jewellery here and those sunnies are cool too. oh and talking about donating, I should do the same!
Maiken,

Ah, it feels like it's been forever since I've said hi! (I am so sorry about that, I've been slacking really badly but I've missed you terribly, your posts always make me smile so much.) I think you rocked this look so much better than the inspiration picture, you've got so much personality and sass that you can totally pull of these pants! (Rather than Kristin who sorts of wear stuff because it's trendy.) I love the Marcus Samuelsson bit, his life story is just crazy and inspiring, he's quite the dude!
ReplyDeleteOoo, I want that Anja Gockel turtleneck. And that black Alice + Olivia cardigan while I'm at it. ;) I really love that first quote. I don't know the whole context, but my mom is an amazing cook (totally didn't get passed down to me) and I'll probably always be trying to cook like her. It actually made me think of my sister-in-laws, too, who are Brazilian and German. They love to cook Portuguese/German food for us whenever possible.
ReplyDeleteSide note - I love kids' smiles in photos. They're never fake, even when they're forced for a photo. Your nieces and nephews are absolutely adorable. :)
