Spring has finally reached us!! I couldn't be happier right now; we had a weekend of sunny skies and 70 degree temperatures, it was just lovely, and such perfect timing, as I took this weekend to go home for a little visit. I had my horse Chinook join me in some outfit shots; he was very happy to oblige, as I had a big juicy carrot for him, ha ha! Now, don't worry, I am not so crazy that I actually wear vintage dresses around the barn on a regular basis; believe it or not, I do [usually!] don flannel shirts and jeans when I'm around the horses.

Oh, and I just have to share this-- my mother finally let me have this
amazing bed in my room:

I've had a cute little antique pineapple bed since I was little, but I've been
eyeing this pretty Victorian cottage bed in our guest room for ages.
Isn't it magical? The picture on the headboard is of a mirror
wreathed in flowers; it's sure to bring me sweet dreams.

I hope your weekends were just as wonderful ♥

  7. Thank you all!!

    I'm glad you're finding Chinook cute; he was really filthy from rolling in the freshly thawed mud, I promise he's a lot shinier and prettier in the summer.

    Also thanks for the bed compliments. I can't quite get over how cool it is; I feel like a gypsy princess or spoiled Edwardian girl when I'm in it!

  9. Nelly-- thanks!! It's not an heirloom, unfortunately; my mom got it at auction, I believe. We do have a lot of heirloom furniture, it's just not as girly, haha.

  12. I'm in love with everything (as usual...) but my sleep deprivation made my brain envision an actual "Pineapple bed." Like, a bed in the shape of a giant pineapple, as opposed to carvings of pineapples. It was an exciting few seconds! Ha. I need a nap.
