I found this beautiful, new with tags, monarch-sporting pillow at the thrift store this week (my local store is intact; my favorite store is not). I lured it onto my yellow chair.
Well, at least you can still find lovely things at your local thrift store. Is the thrift store that succumbed to the forces of nature the famous one where you roll in at the end of the day, and the cashier gives you everything for a pittance? I am so sorry! That's what makes the devastation real, isn't it: the little slices of daily life that are changed forever.
Here on the East Coast, I can only cry at the photos, and pray for those who have lost.
That's a great find! I was charity-shopping (the UK term for it) this week, and found a string of orchid twinkle lights, and a gorgeous Hornsea pottery coffe jar in just the colours that match my future dream kitchen! So satisfying to find, and good to know that the money I paid goes to a good cause!
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

The butterfly: a sign of new life.
I love that big modern butterfly pillow with the vintage chair. It's perfect!
I LOVE that chair. If you have a clone... :)
