Hello, all!

It's been two months since I last blogged... yikes! How eerily prescient that my last entry was called "Swan Song"... I hope none of you took that literally and wrote me off as dead ; )

First Christmas break kept me happily occupied as I travelled back home, catching up with friends and family, and enjoying the quiet country life again; then it was back to school, and back to a full semester of classes. Fortunately I think I've settled into a nice little routine again, and I'm ready to come back to blogland! (ie, this is a great way to procrastinate on my Latin translation that's due tomorrow...)

I've been trying to catch up on all my favorite style blogs... you're all giving me so much spring inspiration! Too bad there's yet another big snowstorm rolling in tomorrow. I should also add that these pictures are from early December, though it's an outfit I've been recycling a lot lately. We have about two feet of snow now! It's April in my heart, though, and visions of calico and gingham are filling my dreams...
