Hello dear friends! It feels so good to be back home after our long week of traveling. I can safely say that I’m good for multi-state car trips for at least the next six months. lol. I have so much to catch up on: emails, blog, Flickr, work, dreams and ideas–it’s quite overwhelming just thinking about it! But, before I get too ahead of myself, I wanted to say a big thank you for all your condolences and well-wishes for safe travel. We both really appreciate them. At the moment I don’t have the time to reply to each comment, but please know that they are appreciated!
Although the purpose of our trip was somber, meeting people who knew and were helped by my husband’s grandfather was nothing short of inspiring. I was lucky enough to meet him once before Sailor Husband and I were married, and was affectionately dubbed “Red Rose”. Both of us miss him, especially my husband who looked up to and was inspired by his dedication to helping others.
I’ve missed over a week of blogging (truth be told: we got back home late Tuesday, but I’ve been too tired and feeling under the weather), hopefully things will pick up soon again. I’ve got some fun things coming up that I can’t wait to unveil! But for now, I shall leave you all with some links (hopefully you haven’t seen them all, since I am a week behind!):

- A guide to achieving the chic look of Joan Holloway from Mad Men
- Stumped on the sweet, but (somewhat) impractical Sally Jane shows four ways to wear it!
- A fun interview with Kim, the milliner extraordinaire behind Topsy Turvy
- Some fun, vintage beach coat inspiration just in time for warmer weather!
- How to decorate some sweet and pretty lanterns
Have a splendid holiday weekend! Wishing you a happy Easter (to those who celebrate)!












Welcome back, beautiful! Hope you’re feeling better soon … and big hugs for you and your hubby.
So glad you’re back! ;o)
Happy Easter to you! Thank you for your lovely inspiration as always! xo
Welcome back, Casey!
Thank you for the links! I just recently stumbled upon your site and I absolutely love it! I hope you feel completely better soon and that you have a marvelous weekend.
The beach coat link is fantastic – I’ve been obsessing on one of these since LAST summer, and this may just be the impetus that gets me going!
(Miss you, by the way! I’m such a terrible blogger.
)
So glad that you’re back, and once again please accept my sincerest condolences for your family’s loss, he sounds like he was a wonderful man. xx
Thanks Kasey, these images fill me with such joy!
have a great Easter!
Glad to see you’re back but completely understand about all the catching up. It can be overwhelming!
Welcome back Casey! We missed you.
