Lingering Holidays

Sunday afternoon I traveled to Birmingham to see an old friend, Kelsey, and check out her new home.  It was a great visit, as anticipated, complete with Blue Moon, Chinese food, and laughter.  I gave her the Christmas gift I crafted, made from a vintage dish towel turned pillow decoupage card.     

 For the ride and relaxing night I wore a chill outfit that was extra comfy.

I bought this Calvin Klein dress months ago and like most of my best purchases hoarded it until I felt it was time. Yesterday went to see a movie with my folks and then met up with some friends and went out for some drinks and tunes. 

I love the shiny grey material of this dress and the sleeves that can be buttoned shorter or left down. (Below)

It was 60 some odd degrees so there was no need for tights but I am going to try it a with a different twist.

Life’s Easy in the Country

Past couple of days have been really slow paced involving lots of internet surfing, TV watching, family time, and food consumption.  Christmas Eve day we went out to my aunt and uncles place which is a small farm and exchanged presents with my mom’s side and ate some finger foods.  I took some photos of the fun critters we played around with and even got to see my chicken who now lives with them, again….

They weren’t that friendly.

The chicken-thing on the right was really annoying and was screaming the whole time.

Christmas Greetings

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!

-Charles Dickens, 1836
