It's Inspiration Monday! 
When the ladies of Two Birds Boutique chose an outfit to inspire a personal look. 

Here's my version.

My floral blouse and grey tank were thrifted.

Today's outfit inspiration is:

Elizabeth Olsen

My plum suede boots are thrifted.

Yes, our grass is nearly dead.
That's called living in deathly hot Texas.

This is my nephew, Speed Racer
with his new baby.
He just got it last Wednesday.
His parents bought it because he's an only child,
and they wanted him to learn to be gentle with little ones smaller than he. So far, he sleeps with it, and takes it with him in the car.  :)

My art journal pages from 7-9-12

It says: Sometimes it was tough to decipher between her dreams and reality. What were illusions? When was she awake?

It says: Sometimes she tried to piece it all together.
All those images, all those colors, all those words.

I recently saw the movie Teachers, from 1984,
 and I really liked it. I'd never head of  it before.

TEACHERS: Movie Trailer. Watch more top selected videos about: Ralph Macchio, Richard Mulligan

I have a thing for teacher movies. I usually love them, & they nearly always make me cry. I've been like this since I was a little girl. When I first saw To Sir, With Love.
