Happy Thanksgiving, blogfriends! I hope that you all had (or are still having) a delightful Thanksgiving with your loved ones. I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s heart-felt blogs about the holiday today. We each have so much to be thankful for.   Something I’m extremely thankful for today? My perfect health records and being completely able-bodied and strong. Why am I more thankful for this today than on most days? Because I spent 4 hours hiking the Appalachian Trail today, that’s why. Nature is one of those things that I find really invigorating. My family, or at least 18 of us,...

Trampled by Turtles is a fast pickin’ bluegrass band that has been quickly climbing the list of my favorite bands. I was in heaven on Saturday when I got a chance to watch (& photograph) this inspiring band in Philadelphia. The instruments, a guitar, acoustic bass, banjo, mandolin, and fiddle, resonated sharply through the venue. The show took place at a beautiful new venue called Union Transfer. Union Transfer used to be an actual operating train station way back in the day. Those historic touches are still prevalent through the venue; brass door handles, chandeliers that weigh several hundred pounds,...

Howdy! Happy Friday! Just wanted to post a little something, something about A is for Ampersand - a lovely little blog that belongs to my blogfriend, Amy. My mom laughs when I call them my blogfriends. I have boyfriends, girlfriends, guy friends and blogfriends.

Amy from A is for Ampersand posted today about "New Favorite Blogs/Shops". Guess who was included in that list? Lovely Little Bones! I...

I really like clothes. I like to mix vintage finds, mended items, and more modern items when putting together an outfit. Most of the time, my outfits are picked out last minute in my rush to drink coffee, eat some oatmeal, walk the dog, get ready, and manage to make it to work on time. Mornings are quite quick around this cottage! I've never been much of a jeans & sneakers kind of girl. I actually hate wearing jeans and sneakers. I'm kind of tall, 5'8". If I wear heels, I'm pushing 6'. That's why I'm a skirt girl. I've...

Obsessed. That's what I am. Obsessed with another social media system. Have you heard of Instagram? It's the first app I recommend to new iPhone users. It's really addicting and so practical. Search for LittleMissLovely.Instagram is an app that's supposed to mimic old Polaroid photos. Instant, square photos with funcky frames and leaking light rays. Best part about the app? It's free.  $0.00. Here are some of my latest Instagram posts...There are neat websites that let you print, arrange, display, and even make stickers out of your Instagram photos. I just purchased 48 photos from Prinstagram. Orignal iPhone sized insta...
