The Sunday Snag – Romance, Big and Small

Today, I get to introduce you to two snags! My snag of a pretty dapper hubby (snagged him up early!) and my newest snag of a beautiful pair of 1950's Enna Jettick pumps! These photos were quickly snapped by my sis right before going out to a fancy dinner. Weirdly, my shoes were cut off in all the photos but one and it was really grainy, so my apologizes for the disjointed photo shoot. 

The dress in this shot is also 1950's and is gorgeous!! I found this in a vintage shop in Virginia hiding humbly between uber loud 80's pieces. This little black number fit perfect and has no embellishment but its fantastic tailored shape and off the shoulder straps. 

The shoes, from Blue Butterfly Vintage, are a soft black, low heeled pump with bow details clipped with double leaves. This is the first pair of vintage shoes that I have ever bought! I already had reproduction pairs, but no actual vintage.
I kept the accessories at a minimal with a pair of 60's drop earrings.

February, a month of magic, fantasizing of the coming spring, spreads her frosty fingertips and breathes a heavy sigh of winter's cool breath among forgotten flowers.

The Twilight Turns From Amethyst

The twilight turns from amethyst
To deep and deeper blue,
The lamp fills with a pale green glow
The trees of the avenue.

The old piano plays an air, 
Sedate and slow and gay;
She bends upon the yellow keys,
Her head inclines this way.

Shy thoughts and grave wide eyes and hands
That wander as they list--
The twilight turns to darker blue
With lights of amethyst.

James Joyce

Treasury Tuesday – Stick with Love

February is officially upon us and the month of love begins! Now, now, you don't have to start gagging. It doesn't have to be all gushy, mushy, lovey, dovey! Love comes in all shapes and sizes and sometimes it is just a burst of happiness from being in love with life. 

Vee from Very Vee has curated this type of love quite well! A kaleidoscope of colorful hearts, stars, and flowers all welcoming in the new month. And one of my newest creations made it into this bunch! My "Green Eyes Don't Lie" hair flower with a gold vintage button center looks right at home with this cheerful group!
