Something absolutely disgusting happened last night - it snowed.  ;)

But it's melted almost all away now=)

 

 

Kellie thinks this hat looks like a small, woodland animal...I guess it does rather;)

• Vintage Hat - Ebay
• Audrey Hepburn Watch Necklace - Etsy
• Blouse - Walmart - same as Day 1
• Beige sweater - hand me down - same as Day 1
• Vintage gloves - antique store

Wallpaper Wednesday - Nancy Drew

As I hinted in last week's Wallpaper Wednesday post, today I have a special Nancy Drew inspired wallpaper for you!

 

{full size image located on the Graphic Design page in the Silver Screen section}

 

If you haven't seen the 1930's Nancy Drew movies starring Bonita Granville, than you are totally missing out.  Excitement, mystery, and comedy.   I highly recommend them all!  You can download Nancy Drew: Reporter for FREE here.

 

Note: All pictures and graphics used in this wallpaper were found using Google Images.

 

Happy Trails, y'all!

Nancy Drew Fashion Week {Day 6}

 

Hullo there! 

Well, today is Day 6 of Nancy Drew Fashion Week...*gasp*...that means tomorrow is the last day:( 

Truly tragic, is it not?  In fact...I think I might cry. 

*insert hysterical sobbing and much sniffing*

No, I'm okay - please pass the Kleenex this way, would ya?

 

Okay, seriously now, I have had so much fun being Nancy Drew for a week, and I want to thank Ashley and Natasha (Another Natasha! High five!;) for hosting this wonderful event:)

 

~Nancy Drew Vintage~

 

 

 

 

Who knows?  Playing the right combination of notes just might open a secret panel in the wall...

Well, it worked in Adventures in Odyssey!

 

"...play a deaf cabbage..."

 

If you have no idea what I'm talking about...that's okay.  Those who know, will know.

 

(Wow - was that profound, or what?!;)

 

 

I found the key shaped brooch in my mom's jewelry box.

 

 

~My Outfit~

• Scarf - yet another show scarf...you've seen them all now - pink, tan and cream.
• Brooch - mom's jewelry box
• Blouse - made by me - I'm planning on reworking the collar though...it bugs me.
• Belt - stolen from my brother;)
• Skirt - same as yesterday, my favorite 1/2 circle skirt.
• Shoes - I didn't go anywhere today, so I actually didn't wear any shoes - except mud boots for animal chores - but I would probably wear my brown flats with this outfit.

This is another outfit that I wear on a regular basis, less the brooch and belt.

 

Till we meet again...

Happy Trails, y'all!:)

 

 

Nancy Drew Fashion Week {Day 5}

 

Lovely {mostly} blue skies today, a wee bit windy, but not too cold - time for another outdoor photo shoot:)

 

I guess I'd call today's look Nancy Drew Modern with a vintage twist.

 

 

Exploring a rocky outcropping...

 

 

...adventure might be just around the corner...

 

 

A sleuth is never to busy to stop and enjoy the splendor and majesty of God's creation.

 

 

 

 

~My Outfit~

• Vintage felt fedora - Ebay
• Sunglasses - Walmart
• Scarf - another show scarf
• Corduroy jacket - gift from Grandma
• Plaid blouse - Fred Meyer
• Purple t-shirt (under the blouse) - Fred Meyer
• Denim skirt - made by me - my favorite 1/2 circle skirt pattern
• Knee-highs - Fred Meyer
• Boots - you can't really see them, but they're my old pair of worn, comfy lace-up riding boots.

Upon looking at this outfit, it strikes me as "Nancy Drew meets Indiana Jones* in the Wild West". 

But, that's just my opinion;)

I wear this outfit - less the hat, sunglasses, scarf, and riding boots - a lot.

 

Happy Trails, y'all!

 

P.S. Once again, thanks little bro for your time and photography skills:)

 

...

 

*I have never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies, so all I know is he was played by Harrison Ford, wore a fedora and carried a bull whip.  :)

Nancy Drew Fashion Week {Day 4}

 

Okay, here we go - Day 4.

 

Yet another rainy day (with a wee bit of snow early this morning), so yet another indoor photoshoot with grainy pictures...:)

 

I'm going to put this in the Nancy Drew Vintage category, because the hat and gloves are vintage and the style of the jumper looks vintage to me:)

 

 

What secrets might our old grandfather clock be hiding?

 

 

It was a favorite secret stash for my brother and I...and not just for top secret spy stuff, either.  

Quite a few of our disgusting, chewable vitamins *shudder* made their way to obscurity beneath the old boy, never to be discovered...until we moved the clock 11 years ago.

My, was Mom surprised!;D

 

 

 

My beloved blue wool hat, a local antique store find.

 

 

A lovely pair of vintage gloves, picked up at "The Old Barn Antiques" store in San Juan Capistrano, California - if you're ever down that way, you simply must stop by this antique store.  Absolutely amazing. 

 

I bought the gloves for my mom when my cousin and I were on our Epic Pilgrimage...and a pair for myself...and a pair for Kellie...and, well, lots of neat stuff:)

 

~My Outfit~

• Vintage wool felt hat - antique store
• Blouse - gift from my grandparents
• Jumper - made and designed by me - I paired the bodice from one pattern with my favorite 1/2 circle skirt pattern and viola! a jumper:)
• Vintage gloves - antique store
• Brown flats - Goodwill, same as Day 1

Happy Trails, y'all!

Nancy Drew Fashion Week {Day 3}

~Nancy Drew Vintage~

Today the sun was shining and it was above 40*F, so I headed outside for a bit of sleuthing...;)

Snooping about...   What have we here - a knife.   Aha!  Footprints...

...er, paw prints, from Mitts the cat;)

"I just think it's kind of...weird, having the heist on a Saturday.  I was thinking maybe a heist is more of a Tuesday thing..."

Sorry - I can't go long without quoting from a movie;D

At this point, I broke and ran for the house, because a cold wind suddenly came up...:)

~My Outfit~

• Headband - no idea, but it's the only headband I've ever owned that never gives me a headache
• Blouse - same as Day 1, white with a peter pan collar
• Sweater - I found it in my mom's closet:)
• Locket - I don't know if you can really see it in any of these pictures, but it was given to my by my Grandpa many years ago.
• Pleated Skirt - made by and designed by me - I was inspired by the super cute skirts worn by Hayley Mills in "That Darn Cat!"
• Knee-high tights - Fred Meyer
• Shoes - black flats - Fred Meyer

Happy Trails, folks!

Nancy Drew Fashion Week {Day 2}

 

~*~

First, I have to apologize for the quality (or lack thereof) of today's pictures. 

Because we're experiencing the MUD season in North Idaho, which comes before spring truly arrives, we've had rain, rain and more rain...and some hail...and some snow...and 5 min. of sunshine...and rain...and that was just today.  Yeah. 

That's what we do for fun out in the sticks - watch the weather change. ;D

 

So, outdoor pictures were out of the question today, and, confidentially, our camera stinks at indoor pictures, no matter what setting it's on.

These photos are seriously not creative, and that pains me, because I love fun, creative photoshoots.

However, there are 5 more days left to get creative, Nancy Drew pictures...which gives me some more time to find a magnifying glass (I know we have one, somewhere...) and a decent pair of sunglasses;)

~*~

Today I was Nancy Drew Modern - it was kind of chilly today, and most of my vintage style clothes are more suitable for warmer weather, so...

 

 

{Yep - by the bookshelves again... But that's ok, 'cause I love my "library":) }

 

 

{In fact, I organized my books by color today - I think it looks pretty cool!}

 

~My Outfit~

• Pink hooded sweatshirt - birthday gift from Grandma
• Pink and green floral t-shirt (which you really can't see, but it's there;) - also a gift from Grandma
• Brown corduroy skirt - Christopher & Banks
• Brown Mary Jane style sneakers - Keds - they have really cute pink button snaps, and polka dot trim:)  I also had a navy blue pair, but I wore them so often they died:(

That's all folks!

Nancy Drew Fashion Week {Day 1}

 

Day One of the Nancy Drew Fashion Week - Vintage Nancy.

 

 

{Um, iMacs are not vintage, but oh well...}

 

 

 

{I don't actually own a Nancy Drew book...*gasp*...yes, these are from the library.}

 

 

{I will own five Nancy Drew books, but I just bought them on Etsy and they haven't arrived yet - you'll probably see them later on.}

 

 

~My Outfit~

Today's outfit was inspired by the plaid skirt worn by Bonita Granville in Nancy Drew: Reporter.

• Pink Scarf - it's a western show scarf (as in, horse show, but I use them for a lot of things), and I probably got it from Stateline Tack...maybe.  I can't really remember:}
• Light tan sweater with lace - given to me by a friend
• White blouse - Walmart
• Plaid a-line skirt - pink and tan - made by me
• Brown flats - Goodwill

Happy Trails, y'all!

 

P.S.

Thank you to my wonderful brother, aka my personal photographer, who took time out from visiting with his friends to take pictures of me.  He's a pretty neat brother:)

 

P.S.S.

I also created a Nancy Drew Treasury list on Etsy, just for fun:)
