This Saturday is my big shopping and running day with my mother and sister, Traci. I think this year we are going to make a trip  to Yellow Springs. It has been several years since we went there, so we think it is about time. I love our little days out. They make me really happy. Expect many photos and a huge post about that soon. 
I also have to share my St. Patrick's Day nail polish. I'm calling it my St. Patty's Day Pot O' Gold Nails. Its a rich olivey green metallic with gold glitter top coat. I kinda love them.

Hope you get better soon!

I think people with birthdays from October to March always run the risk of being unwell for their birthdays; I know I'm always at least coming down with something by my birthday...

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors.

Betsy's Gypsy Dreams

Image
When I was a little girl I would sit on my front porch reading and dreaming that the gypsies would come to take me away. I loved the music, dancing, color and whimsy of the gypsy. Their spirit spoke of freedom that my mid-western soul could not help but envy. I wanted to run away and find my place among those beautiful people.  And as an adult I still do. I love to dress in what I think of a a gypsy style. For my gypsy dreams post I am going to share clothes and accessories with a gypsy flair that I love, want or covet completely. found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here I hope you can use these inspirations to create your own gypsy look. For added flair make sure your skirt has bells or wear a bell anklet. Bring a little gypsy into the everyday.  Blessings.
