A Farewell to Bare Arms

I adore fall, and I love my fall rituals, such as re-arranging my closet so that all of my sweaters, wool skirts, and coats emerge from hibernation and become the front-runners for my wardrobe choices. However, now that my light, airy summer dresses are taking their turn in the dark corners of my closet, I miss them! Here is my final farewell to them, until next spring. 

These are some of my favorite dresses that I made from vintage pattern reprints. Which one is your favorite?

Belts: thrifted or made by me

Red Delicious

Fall is my favorite season! My husband and I have a tradition of going apple picking every fall...and then I bake a homemade apple pie(:

Birch Bangs

I love Diane Birch's debut album Bible Belt! 

Not only is the music fabulous, but the cover photos as well! 

I just had to try her look out for myself:

Trench: Old Navy

Bowler hat: Target

Boots: Gianni Bini

Seahorse

Summer is quickly fading, so my husband and I took a trip to the beach to bid it farewell....

adieu for now, vacation, sun, and sea!

Victorian

My aunt introduced me to the Victorian Trading Company. They have all sorts of fun goodies! Here are a few things I recently ordered.

I love the inside cover of this book! It is tastefully creepy.

It even came with paper dolls!

This is a "Bawdy Maude" figurine.

This is totally going in our bathroom!

Vintage Apron

I was looking through some old photos and came across these! 

I made the headband and earrings, and the apron is vintage, 

made by one of my grandmothers or great-grandmothers.
