Women in WWII

I am fascinated with the 1930's and 1940's. While searching for information on women in WWII, I found this great site!

I'm Back!

Aloha!! I am back from a wonderful vacation! I got back Friday afternoon, Austin time. It was an overnight flight and exhausting. Ugh. Packed plane and hard to sleep. I have been making up for it ever since. I hope to download photos today. We'll see. It's my birthday and I may not do a darn thing!

My heart and prayers go out to all who have been effected by Hurricane Sandy. 

Hawaii

And the count down begins.....

I leave for vacation in 5 days. I am going to Hawai'i with a close friend of mine. I am very blessed and excited to be given this opportunity. I wish my husband could go, but he'll be here holding down the fort. We have a trip planned in December for Florida!

However, the Easter Bunny did bring me.......

a REAL pair!!!

My first pair of Bell Bottoms!

Folk Magazine

OK, have you seen this publication? Working part time in a bookstore (because I am a book addict) on top of my day job, I have access to a lot of neat publications. Folk is one of my new favorites.

They have been publishing their beautiful magazine for a year now. I saw the Summer 2012 issue at work and the old fashioned mason jar on the cover caught my eye.  It took up most of the cover. The pale blue delight with it's silver lid was filled with strawberries-the essence of summer.

Inside were more delights to behold. Articles on southern food, photos to get your creative juices flowing, recipes, and more. It's the kind of magazine you keep. Forever. And browse through again and again like an old friend.

And their blog! American Folk Life. More beautiful pictures, recipes, and more.

I ordered 2 back issues and the fall issue pictured above. I am on pins and needle waiting for them to arrive.

Go check them out!

(I am not being paid for this review. I just love their magazine!!!)

I won, I won!

I entered a contest hosted by the lovely Brittany over at Va-Voom Vintage, on of my favorite blogs. I won this wonderful book about Marilyn Monroe. Such an iconic actress.

Blogging

Well, I have had this blog since 2007. I think it's time to start blogging on a more regular basis. Photos, projects, etc. Sometimes, I get So caught up in reading all the cool blogs out there that I never take the time to post. I have had a very hard time getting used to the "new" Blogger layout and format. I am still futzing around with it. I'm not sue why my banner photo is so small. It used to go all the way across the top of the page. Today it is pouring rain which we need here in Texas. And finally the heat has subsided. YAY!!!! Oh, and I am going to Hawaii!!!!

I was part of an Easter Swap recently, hosted by Sue Loves Cherries. My partner was the lovely Ann over at Tin and Sparkle.

She blessed me with some wonderful Easter Goodies!
