This is my interpretation of a look,
I showed in May, in this post .
Below is the look I tried to imitate.
Pink Pleated Jacket |
Both of my blouses are thrifted. |
My skirt & shoes are thrifted. |
Details of pink beaded ribbon tie belt, lace blouse & patterned blouse underneath. |
My nephew Speed Racer, in navy, with his toy train.
My twin nieces in navy shorts, playing with bubbles.
My nephew JJ, in navy, sleeping sweetly.
At the art center, we saw these two art angels,
matted or painted in a navy sky.

These are the framed notes, that my friends wrote to me. |
I have this on my bedroom wall. |
I played this song about 4-5 times today on my iPod. It's "Ain't Even Done With The Night" by John Mellencamp
The lyrics aren't brilliant, but the music is incredible.
"Ain't Even Done With The Night" by John Mellencamp
Well our hearts beat like thunder
I don't know why they don't explode
You got your hands in my back pockets
And Sam Cooke's singin' on the radio
You say that I'm the boy who can make it all come true
Well I'm tellin ya that I don't know if I know what to do
You say that's all right, hold tight
Well I don't even know if I'm doin' this right...
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night...
Well it's time to go home
And I ain't even done with the night
Well I don't know no good come-ons
And I don't know no cool lines
I feel the heat of your frustration
I know it's burnin you up deep down inside...
Nice finds! Thrifting is the way to go. Love the framed notes from friends, that is so special! Hope you're doing well Teddi. :)

ReplyDeleteI just tried to leave u a message but I don't think it went through. Anyway, I love what you did with your friend's notes...genius. Also, you are too cute Teddi. Love your hair. dawn suitcase vignettes xo
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely, Ted!! And your nephews are just tooooo adorable!! Love em! Great words to be put on your wall room. ;) Couldn't agree more!
ReplyDeleteLove,
MLU the blog.
I loved the lace outfit, and the pearl belt, amazing! Cause I simply looove pearls! And com'on, your "reality" is great! I loved that outfit! Also your nephews and nieces, they are all sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteI love words too, but your grandma was right. Attitudes or actions are really important. I'm in such a situation now. Observing how someone acts, and I must say, although the words are lovely, I'm not liking the actions... I thought of that when I read what you wrote - or what your grandma said!
Ted Ted! You found it very seriously .. no comment ... in my blog?
ReplyDeleteAre you okay?? is always so happy ... what's going on friend?
The fairy paintings are really lovely :D

That's such a sweet idea! I never thought about framing a note for someone. I think words can definitely say a lot, especially when they express a simple, but profound sentiment. I still keep a shoebox in my closet of all my favourite cards and notes from over the years, just 'cause a couple thoughtful words can mean so much. :) Beautiful outfit and photos, as per usual!
