My favorite things...

I have made some amazing purchases over the past year. Some of which I am too in love with not to share with my friends.

My Ariat Tanbaby cowboy boots. I bought them at a discount boot store around Hocking Hills, and they are one of the best purchases I have ever made. And they were $40. Because they have the thicker heel, they have amazing traction. And the fact that they were made for use in a barn means that they are water proof. They have become my go to footwear for the winter season.

 
Kixies thigh highs. I got a pair for Christmas from my husband and they are amazing. They don't roll!! And I have some thighs. You can get them online at Curvy Girl Lingerie. And they look super cute on, don't they. I am going to buy more because I am completely in love with them.
 
 
Seth also got me some of Curvy Girl's lingerie. If you are a little more ample, lol, they have some beautiful pieces that are available in extended sizes. This is a pin-up style picture we took of me in the lingerie. Oh, and Chrystal is an amazing body love advocate, and has been all over the media for speaking out for sexy at any size. So it just feels good to support her too. She is an awesome body positive role model.
 
You can't see it very well, so this is the picture from the website. It is super cute on. I haven't gotten a very good picture of me in it upright though.
 
I am also madly in love with  my book bag which is from the company Ogio. The bag has slots for a laptop and a tablet. It has many pockets to keep things in order, and it sits really well on the body, because it was designed for women. Plus it is adorable, and comes in great colors. The bag is around $80, but worth every penny. And their purses are equally fabulous and great, because I have one those as well.
 


 
I just wanted to share some of my favorite things, so that they can maybe become some of yours.
 
I have some exciting possibilities in the air for me right now, and I am in a waiting place, but hopefully I will have news to share soon. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho

Betsy's Gypsy Dreams

Image
When I was a little girl I would sit on my front porch reading and dreaming that the gypsies would come to take me away. I loved the music, dancing, color and whimsy of the gypsy. Their spirit spoke of freedom that my mid-western soul could not help but envy. I wanted to run away and find my place among those beautiful people.  And as an adult I still do. I love to dress in what I think of a a gypsy style. For my gypsy dreams post I am going to share clothes and accessories with a gypsy flair that I love, want or covet completely. found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here I hope you can use these inspirations to create your own gypsy look. For added flair make sure your skirt has bells or wear a bell anklet. Bring a little gypsy into the everyday.  Blessings.
