Love this saying:

"So for the good of fashion, shop at flea markets, vintage stores, charity shops, raid your grandma's wardrobe: because I believe within the fabric fibres of each and every piece of clothing lies infinite styling possibilities." - Audrey Freighton

My Latest Adventure

I took a shot and attempted curating an Etsy Treasury! It was very fun and I have a feeling I will be doing more in the future. To see it, go here: 


Vintage Woven Leather by MamaMaeVintage


Hope you enjoy the items I chose. You should buy one of them to support Etsy sellers and keep vintage alive!

A delightful drive

beautiful. intoxicating. breathtaking. invigorating.
unbelievable glory in the sky.
 clouds covered the sky in layers so thick it was as if it had been covered in three blankets. all different shapes and sizes. smitten by the beauty that surrounded me. i had to breathe deep.
 i have found driving, travels, to be so therapeutic; drawing me closer to my Maker. 
 the fields i once passed by with no care of the beauty 
in front of me, have now captured my attention. 
they are singing His glories. 
dancing to His song. 
i hope for everyone to be brought back to the reality of creations absurd beauty. i hope that others will constantly remember to gaze on the landscapes that surround them and breathe deeply and not forget, like i did, how creation claps it's hands; tossing it's winds to and fro, beating it's drums passionately on whatever surfaces it can find. 
such peace can be found in the midst of such beauty. 

A new day

A day like no other, 

Fresh and new,

Mercies anew this morning. 

Thankful for a million things.....

Very thankful for the ability to have life and share it with others. This post is short and sweet, there is lunch to make for my hungry little loves. Here to say a short hello to everyone who is there to read. Thank you for checking out my blog. I hope it will be a way to share in life with those far and close. To share my joys and passions. 

Blessings to you in this new day, 
Alisha
