Vintage Clothes

This morning I woke up, was working away at my homework currently reading this book for school, and then I got distracted. I got distracted by these two websites: Sweetheart of the Rodeo & The Fiercest Lilliputian (WARNING: reading these blogs will make you want to wear cute vintage clothes). I then decided that I wanted to wear cute vintage clothes for my day and I had a good 15 minutes to get ready, so I got ready and snapped a few shots. The thing I love most about this dress is the red rose flower in the top collar. Mrs. Mitchell, a dear soul from back home once told me that this rose is a sticker that people would put would put on their clothes when they were visiting a baptist church for the first time, so others would know they were visitors. I love that this woman left the rose on her dress for me to enjoy!!  So, if you don't have immense amounts of time and energy (thrifting takes both) to find beautiful treasures, I recommend checking out Rebecca's store. Rebecca is my new friend in Denver, though we haven't met yet I already know that she's a dear soul and her shop is full of so many wonderful vintage treasures. I hope you enjoy this beautiful Fall day my friends. Wearing beautiful, old clothes, full of wonderful stories makes even the most difficult topics, like the book I'm reading, feel a little lighter.

Aprons

Friends, if you haven't noticed I've been blogging a lot lately, that's because I have had a nice big ole' break from school. This week I decided I wanted to make some aprons so here are some photos of the final product. Aprons make me so happy!! Cooking in them, cleaning in them, reading books in them just makes life better. If you are looking to buy a cute apron check out my friend Emily's apron shop. They are super cute and super affordable. Love you friends, have a dear weekend!

Yellow

This morning when I woke up my soul was drawn to the color yellow. So, I decided to take photos of yellow things in my house. I often feel drawn to color in strange, soul-connecting ways. So, I thought the photos may help me draw some insight as to why I love yellow so much today. I'll let you know if I come up with anything profound. What color does your soul love today?

Adventures...

We decided to go camping at the last minute this weekend... it was magical!!!

Off we go into the sunset!


We hiked to the peak on the right. 




Yeah! My first 14er, Kris' third.

Love those Rockies! And that man :)



Not too shabby of a free camping spot.

We LOVE our double nest hammock!! Everyone should own one.

Dinner!
