Country Girl

Now that I'm a 'country' girl, I've been thinking this skirt is a definite must for Spring/Summer.  Ever since I saw it here, my thoughts have returned to its perfection...and since I'm dreaming, add those shoes to the mix too.  Those beauties would make aerating the garden soil enjoyable and chic, non?   Seriously, I might just have to try my hand at replicating this wrap-around of appliqué whimsy {or hope someone in my family catches the hint...it would be a perfect handmade birthday gift!}.

  1. You will be the most chic country girl ever, my sweet friend. I owe you a note, which I will write tomorrow in between bouts of shoveling snow. Seriously, I am sooooooooo over winter right now I could cry. On the other hand, your new move has me brimming with happiness for all three of you. Sending love and warm hugs,

  9. That skirt really is something else, though I doubt you'd want to do too much digging and planting in it. But you'd so be the talk of the town.

  10. kitten, it does NOT count if you don't wear those fabulous shoes too.
    impractical? maybe.
    but practicality is overrated.....and apparently hard to spell....took me three rounds just now? {yay UCLA education}

    love,

  12. Beautiful photos....love those shoes!

    I'm so happy to find your gorgeous blog. I was surprised and delighted to read that you now live in my neck of the woods. I'm just over the Oakville Grade from Napa Valley in Kenwood (a little town between Glen Ellen and Santa Rosa).

    I hope you enjoy living in this area as much as I do.

    Warm regards,
    Adrienne

  15. Oh yes Mel I can see you in this with a big straw hat...in the rich soil of your new nest tucked in the vineyards~~~ I was thinking a name for your series could be
    "Simply Vineyards".......
    love you all..give the crumb a ladybug kiss from me please~
    Hugs to you and Sean too...
