Great is the sun, and wide he goes

Through empty heaven with repose

And in the blue and glowing days

More thick than rain he showers his rays...

weekend treasures...

I drove out to my favorite thrift store this weekend in Aurora, IL. I found so many wonderful things. I try and try with my photos! Maybe one day I'll advance from my little 6.0 pixel camera. Enjoy! Do you have a favorite store for treasures?

I want so badly to learn how to embroider. I bought this book partly because of the inspiration but also because of these wonderful photographs! What cuties!

these are darling pinafores!

wish I could pull this look off!!

pretty scarves
