SOTD: Soie Libre

Spent the day volunteering at a benefit for the Cartoon Art Museum at Pixar. In honor of the event, I wore my Soie Libre - which reminds me of comic panels!

The pic is not one of my best because I only had time to snap ONE. I adore the fact that the lights gave me bright red hair! I look good as a redhead!

Theme SOTD: Lucky

So the theme of the day is your "lucky" scarf. I found this little beauty at a vintage shop and thought I'd wear it in honor of my Aunt and Uncle:





They LOVE football! So, on a "Big" game day, I wear this scarf to bring their team "luck". I don't know if it's working too well but, the team isn't at the bottom of the standings...so....sure, it is!!

Halloween Panda!

I don't tend to dress up my kitties for Holidays. Piccolo, however, had other ideas! She jumped up as I was making a fall colored paper chain and I jumped at the chance to snap a pic!

She's a natural and the camera loves her!

SOTD: Henry VIII

This one is from a vintage shop. It's a non label scarf with a fantastic pic of Henry VIII. I tend to wear this one knotted as a necklace as the scarf itself is pretty banged up.

Here's the scarf unfolded (and unwrinkled!)

Travels pt. 7 - A Wedding

About a week after Disneyland & LA., I flew out to NY for a wedding - one of my sisters. She got married at a tiny B&B in upstate NY.
