We're officially back! We got in very, very late last night from Michigan and I'm still a bit wobbly from jet lag, gluttonous eating, etc., but K was a champion traveler and we had a thoroughly marvelous vacation, so no complaints here. With spotty wi-fi at the lake, and due to constant activities (swimming! canoeing! hiking up a sand dune! bbq on a beach!), I wasn't able to get online much but I'm catching up and enjoying reading all the comments. Thank you for all the lovely ... Read more
Monday Outfit: Suburbia Soup Harem Pants
Good morning, friends! As you read this, I am probably wilting in the Michigan humidity, but am fully enjoying my vacation nonetheless! Weren't the guest blog posts wonderful last week?

Guest Post: Robin of Nested in Stitches
It's Friday and I can't believe that it's the last guest post! They've been awesome, right? Last but clearly NOT least is Robin of Nested in Stitches. Robin holds a very very dear place in my heart.

It was a huge success and was such a challenge in the best possible ... Read more
Guest Post: Kristin of Skirt As Top
I have a sneaking suspicion that Kristin of Skirt As Top is superhuman from a far flung and little-known planet where overachievers are secretly bred with sewing powers. At the very least she had to have been class president or something similar. Kristin exudes charisma and has an acumen for coming up with brilliant collaborations. She is a driving force behind Film Petit (Napoleon Dynamite is the most recent feature. Hilarious!) and Vintage May, two of the coolest sewing series around. On top ... Read more
Guest Post: Gail of probably actually
Sweet, sweet Gail. I remember discovering her blog probablyactually many months ago and I could.NOT.tear.myself.away. Her gorgeous projects (she sews clothes and holders of things! she embroiders! she makes felt food and furniture!), her lovely photography, and her engaging narratives that leave you wanting more - I was instantly smitten. I've only marveled at her sewing creations from afar, but I imagine that if I were to actually see them in person, they would be perfectly stitched with nary a ... Read more
