overalls

Do you Recall your Very First Personal Fashion Moment???

My first Memory is of Overalls.

I must have been about three years old. At least I hope I was only three! I was wearing the type of Toddler Overalls that snap on the inside of the legs for quick emergency trips to the potty. The snaps were unsnapped, the pant legs were flapping around and I started twirling around singing, "I'm wearing a dress." My First Fashion Moment. Tra La.

Well, the fashion neurons in my brain must have imprinted on those overalls because I have owned and worn some form of bib overalls practically every decade of my life.

Meanwhile it is finally RAINING in SoCal!!!

El Nino ha llegado. YIPPEE!!!!

We're hunkered down doing inside rainy day things like

packing up holiday ornaments

baking cookies

and searching for new knitting projects

How gorgeous is Daphne Selfe in this Rowan knitting book?

Want a Vegetable Garden? My Meet-Up With Anne

It must be Blogger Meet-Up Season.

You just read about Jean's Blogger Meet-Up Whirlwind in the Pacific Northwest, Right?

Well, as you know Anne M Bray of SpyGirl is circumnavigating the United States. You can read about it HERE.

So we planned a Blogger Meet-Up as she passed through the First Destination on her Trip.

As you suspected Anne is every bit as lovely and talented and interesting as you would imagine. But I probably should have warned her that meeting Me would be every bit as Chaotic as you would imagine.

I gave her wacky directions and had her turned around and confused right off the bat.

I then invited a hungry Anne to a restaurant that was no longer serving food.

I made sure she was loaded up with sugar then I babbled incoherently for quite some time while she listened politely.

Then I sent her on her way with an empty stomach at the Height of Rush Hour. 

Life with Connie.

Brave Brave Anne. It's a good thing she didn't meet me during cocktail hour or we would still be there!!

Anne is traveling with a Live Garden in her car. Really. She is.

She gifted me with this Mint which is awaiting a most likely chaotic entry into my herb garden.

Anne also designed this awesome Googie Toile mug. Isn't it beautiful? I just LOVE it! You can buy some of  her beautiful creations HERE. 

Anne, Honey, your journey can only get better. It was So Nice to Meet You.

I Owe You A Lunch.
