the final hallelujah photoshoot

a day in the life, photos, photoshoots, words

Clara and I concluded our 365 projects with a Sound of Music inspired photoshoot. Specifically, the I Have Confidence song.

"I have confidence...."

"How do you solve a problem like Maria?"

"Let's start at the very beginning, the very best place to start"

"When you sing, you begin with Do-Re-Mi"

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens..."

We pulled together her look from things we have at home.

Blue polka dot skirt: square-dance dress handed down from our grandmother

White-collared shirt: Gap, garage sale

Green jacket: Target, handed-down from a friend to a sister to me

Straw hat: estate sale

Tights: Walmart, I think

Boots: thrifted vintage  

Carpet bag: Thrifted + handed down

Guitar + case: Garage sale

Ooops. That’s me.

Thanksgiving Prep

a day in the life, food, photos, stories, words

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day! And  you know me, I love to bake. So there has been lots of baking going on :)

Clara made a berry pie yesterday, this morning I made an apple pie, Mom made Mema’s cranberry jello, I also made rolls, and I made a pumpkin cheesecake pie. (Graham cracker crust pies, by the way, are the very easiest to make.)

Oh, and this apron. I made it in Mom’s sewing class!
