So judging by my blog you can see that pink and green are my favorite colors. But running a close third is purple. I Love purple. I think it started when I was about 5 years old. I used to visit my next door neighbor alot (I was a chatty kathy kid). She was an older woman who was always out in the yard tending to her grapes (yes, grape vines!) and bees (yes! bees!).
Thinking back now, she was very hippy...Ah hah! so that's were my bohemian spirit initiated. Anyway, the point here is that she always used to invite me in for some cold iced tea, lemonade, etc. and her WHOLE kitchen was purple. INCLUDING the refridgerator. 
Very cool. I loved her house. Sadly the people who bought my parents old house also bought that house and tore them both down. I know, makes me want to cry.
There is something to be said about older houses with character as opposed to new mansions. They are just not the same. 
So, here's some purple, enjoy!
This is an awesome thing. You buy a "share" of the harvest from 
So this week was pick your own strawberries and snow/sugar snap peas. Trust me I grew up with a huge garden in the backyard and I love to play in the dirt, but I am extremely tick paranoid. 
This being said you can see the dilemma I was faced with as I went to pick the peas. I was in the row that was so overgrown. But I forged forward and took the path less traveled.
I found it to be quite meditative and I could have stayed in that pea patch for hours. I am sharing some photos of the farm with you.

I love the softness of the yarn and the idea that it's eco-friendly. I am having so much fun! 
Isn't that what being passionate for you craft is all about? Joy! 
This was my first time to this market although I have passed it quite a few times on my way to New Hope. 
I went with the goal of 2 things: vintage keys and lace/doilies. It was a super successful day. 
This is only a small portion of the 2 bags worth of lace I walked out of there with. So lots of handwashing in my future, but I don't mind one bit. 
I cannot wait to start working with these! I am so fascinated by the altered couture and use of vintage linens/lace/doilies. 
I bought a book yesterday on How to Manipulate Fabric. This is on my nightstand for reading asap! 
The very last stall we went to is where I purchased all the flowers and a bunch of vintage collars. All together an awesome day, spent with an awesome girlfriend. Thanks Michele :) You rock! 
She has inspired me to create a capelet similar to the cream/lilac one in the photo~~it's almost finished! Thank you Holly, your work is amazing!
