  • 18/30 {Throwback} I am taking ya back to the 1990s. This pair of Levi’s 501 (button-fly, baby) jeans were vintage when I thrifted them at a store in Colorado. Perfectly beat up I set to work personalizing them. Of all the jeans I had almost all were found at thrift stores (men’s sizes so I could ensure the 32” length I need) with the purpose of being mended for my style. Some required patching inside of the derrière and crotch others just embellishments. These were my favorite jeans and the only pair I kept. The rest were given away or sold to college friends. I like seeing the mending of garments these days and I smile to myself because I love the art of it all. Embellishments on my jeans was my crafty therapy back in those days. In between the full load of classes, almost full time job, student government, and the environmental club I needed quiet reflection. (This was BK “before knitting”!) What memories these jeans hold. If I remember correctly the ribbon waistband is Swedish. I bought it at a fabric store in Glenwood Springs, CO with my friend @kerickson0 The button gems were found at Jo-Ann’s, the turtle patch is vintage pre 1970s from my Granny’s stash, the peace patch I found at a shop in Yellow Springs, Ohio, all the other patches I found at Walmart which was the major store in the small Colorado College town where I lived. #photoadayapril #everydayphotoaday #photochallenge_30days

  • 4/17 {Morning things} Today it’s a breakfast tostada for Mama and breakfast burritos for the little ones. Or maybe it’s brunch? Pleasant spring mornings have a tendency of getting away from me. #whatsforbreakfast #everydayphotoaday #photoadayapril #photochallenge_30days #tostada

  • 16/30 {chasing light} We replaced the canister light in our butler’s pantry with a vintage schoolhouse light. The story began with looking for a light to replace the outdated one in the renovated powder room. The Mister kept being drawn to this one for its simple style. Originally he planned to install it over our kitchen sink. It would have looked fine there, no doubt, but in the butler’s pantry it just fits better. I like how it looks even in the day time and it adds some character to an area of our home that is often overlooked. #photoadayapril #everydayphotoaday #photochallenge_30days #lightfixturelove #schoolhouselight

  • Day 15/30 {Quote you love} This one has been a favorite of mine for years. I have a clipping with this quote on my refrigerator. St. Teresa of Calcutta is one of my favorite people. She was quite a force in her work with the poor. I can’t think of a better example of a doer who made happiness with simple acts. She is a role model worthy of being always remembered. #photoadayapril #everydayphotoaday #photochallenge_30days #mothertheresaquote
