It snowed. Like, real snow. The kind you see on stamps and cards, but never on the ground, not here in the South. Last time I checked, which was about 30 seconds ago (yeah, I really love snow. Absence makes the heart grow fonder...), Nashville has been blanketed with 6.5 inches of snow. For those of you up North, please please don't scoff. I got my first real snow day this year because we had a 1" layer of ice under 1.5 inches of snow. I thought that was great, but today class was canceled again. The last time (apart from this year) that I had a snow day was first grade. Now, I get two snow days in one year. Yay!!
Well, to celebrate, I stayed inside instead of the thrifting adventure I'd planned, perusing Etsy in search of random old things like barkcloth curtains, Victorian corsages, pairs of pince-nez spectacles, quirky brooches, and 1930's day dresses. Yep. That's a pretty good sum-up of me. I also spent a lot of time adding to my Google Reader list of subscriptions- I have fallen in love with 3 more bloglings.
-An Apple a Day (What a strong, amazing person. She really is the best gift giver in the world, too. Seriously).
-Through the Secret Keyhole (Vintage photographs, great stories... Sigh. What a dream)
-Esme and the Lane Way (Although I wouldn't trade the snow for anything at the moment, it sure must be nice to twirl around in pretty summer dresses...)
Wonderful, each and every one! I also recommend Starrified Jazzetry, a great blog for word lovers, writers, and artists alike.
Naturally, though, I had to end my perfect day with a happily ever after scene to play as the credits roll.
So, snuggled up in a cozy thrifted knit turtleneck and my favorite jeans, I went out, made a wish, and danced at 11:11 in the snow under a strangely yellow-lit sky. What better thing to do?
