My Lovely Readers,
I missed you yesterday, but try as I might, I just never could pull a post together. The day literally ran away from me. Today, again, will be a long and busy day, but I thought I’d take a break and post something to catch up with you!
Friends, I have absolutely fallen in love with my new (to me) Bongo shoes. In my humble opinion, this is one of the sole reasons (no pun intended) for thrifting. I have invested 4 dollars in these shoes and have fallen so head-over-heels (again, no pun — ha ha) in love that these are shoes I will go out and splurge for at full price. They are amazingly comfortable. They give me the height that I love (I am naturally about 5 feet 7 inches), but it is not like walking on tiptoes all day! I have worn them for two days now, done a lot of running around, and my feet and back feel great!
skirt, Rafaella, thrifted, 4 dollars, (you have seen before)
sweater, Lauren Jeans, thrifted, 4 dollars, (you have seen before)
pink and gray tights, new, Target clearance, 5 dollars
shoes, Bongo, thrifted, 4 dollars
Life the past few days has been busy, happy, JOYful, and just basically full of the time-and-chance types of things that make life what it is. I had the chance to walk through The Wild Little Garden and I wanted to share a few of the spring-like pictures. (Today is GORGEOUS!!!)
Daffodils and rusty garden ornament.
Hellebores.
Chickweed climbs up into a clay pot and spills out around the sides.
Weathered garden gate.
Weathered window edge.
Veronica pondside.
Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.
Now, I think I did tell you that I would bring back some pictures from recent outings! I have lately had the chance to be back in my old hometown area in Moore County, North Carolina, home of lots of Scots and the longleaf pine. Yeah. Something about pine needles and sandy soil stir my heart like nothing else. I have been looking at gardening centers and garden ideas there for planning a garden in that area, should life take me there once again.
I went into the Mellow Mushroom there to have lunch with some dear friends (because they have a dedicated gluten free area in their kitchen) and would you believe??? they had an Alice in Wonderland theme throughout the restaurant. Get a load of our surroundings for lunch:
Maybe I don’t believe in signs, but it sure was comforting to know that Alice might be waiting for me in Southern Pines.
Must run and work! ENJOY THIS DAY!

Our pet rabbits love chickweed! Nice pics! I love the garden gate. You are so lucky to have gone to that restaurant! What a nice surprise! love,andrea
Well first, you look so dang cute (love the video and you accent!!). You know how I love your style. Gosh you get amazing deals. Your prices are much better than here in the NW!! What a fun lunch and gluten free too (check out my post tomarrow). Yummm, yumm!! xox Clarice
Hey friend,
I’m happy you have found shoes you love. Little things can just add sweetness to our day, can’t they?! I’m glad you had a fun lunch outing with your friends too – and a special surprise while you were there.
Just made me happy thinking about it.
I miss you friend and wish you were able to join with us in exploring the state! I’m glad you live here too!
Love
Leslie
I like your new blog background! Very cute. And your outfits are always very chic. Nice tights! That restaurant looks just adorable. I love nice surprises like that. Seems like you had a great day!
Andrea, our rabbits loved it too! And I loved it! It is a great herbal weight loss tool, washed up and put in an infusion! But that was another time, another place. And the restaurant! It was truly a fun surprise! Love, Lynn
Clarice, thank you so much! I appreciate that. You know I enjoy your blog and will be over to see what you’ve got going on! Thanks for the invitation to visit! xoxoxo Lynn
Leslie, thank you! Yes, little things can make a day bright, for sure! Thanks for being happy for me. Love, Lynn
Kisha, thanks! I do love that blue as well! I think that is what you mean. It was something new I learned in THE photo editing program, GIMP. xoxoxo Lynn
I love the Alice in Wonderland theme!
Sarah, thanks so much! I enjoyed dropping by your blog too! Love that NC landscape and the GW finds!! xoxo Lynn
Good morning Lynn! Aren’t you lovely! I love your trip through the wild garden and it is lovely there pre-spring. Are you thinking of moving back to your hometown? I would love to move back to mine, it is not far away. I think too much heartache and too much water under the bridge here to stay forever. Well, any way, small things like your Bongos can make life easier, can’t they. Hugs Terry
Terry, good morning! Thanks so much! I enjoyed my quick garden walk-through. Still bitter-sweet, but it gets easier for me with each passing week. I am thinking that I will move back there to home. And will sure blog about the process!
I know what you mean about heartache and water under the bridge. xoxo Oh, and Bongos have made me happy! I hope you have a perfectly GREAT Monday! Typing today? I am. Love, Lynn
The tights are to die for and wow, Alice heaven! Love it!
Lesa, I should have bought ALL these tights! They were on sale at a great price, but I decided to just “try them.” Should have bought more!!
