What I am doing on my summer vacation...

I have some amazing upcoming events in the next couple of weeks/months that I am ridiculously excited about.

This weekend we went to our friend's house in West Chester to celebrate July fourth. We always have fun with them. I found some amazing stick on eye decorations and rocked them all day.
Awful car pic, but you can get the idea.
 Next Saturday we celebrate my sister's 23rd birthday. :) Happy birthday to Traci. We are going to a local bar and billiard club to play pool and celebrate.

Then the next weekend Seth and I are headed to Indiana to attend an event called Midway Mayhem. I got incredibly lucky by getting tickets from a girl who had bought her tickets early bird but was unable to attend. I was absolutely intending to attend anyway, but was so excited that this worked out. I will get a chance to take belly dance classes from some flippin' fantastic dancers including Moira Chappell who danced with the belly dance all stars. I was lucky enough to see her perform and she is amazing. I am elated to get a chance to do this though, and I am dragging my husband along to help me camp. :) Here are some of the gorgeous dancers I will get a chance to learn from.

Asima
Celeste
Jeana

One of my fav dancers, Laylia.

There is more coming in the next couple of months, but this is enough excitement for now.  Before I go though I have to share the amazing belly dance belt my mom made me.
Can you see the little witches? He,he.

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. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho

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.
