Brynnie Mawrie

On Thursday Alex showed me this book her mother got her when she was accepted into Bryn Mawr. I'd like a copy of my own, but it was published in 1903, so it is difficult to find one. I'll just have to go to John K. King Books like her mother.

Some images of Bryn Mawr books:

Here they re-used the old image from above:

Real Pictures of Bryn Mawr:

Mitten

I returned back to the Mitten, and jumped immediately into work.

Every time I come home, 508 Linden is even more similar to the home in Running With Scissors. It makes me feel stifled, stressed, tired, and uncreative. This in combination with the collapsing state of Detroit makes life feel impossible.

I am determined to make something of myself, and to have an enjoyable summer. And I'm working on textile designs and such.

Tuesday because my little brother was in the hospital I took my little sister to Greenfield Village, I was a field trip chaperone.

And thoroughly fell in love with fabric all over again.

We walked into the weaving workshop, and I saw all the looms, and attached in another room all the knitting machines and I wanted to hop over the 1/2 wall and start setting up the machine and slide the punch card pattern back and forth.

My Favorite Today:

From Diabless. I love the dye of the skirt

Fabric Patterns:

From some random e-bay vintage store.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE:

From Mina Perhonen

Manoush

Charles Anastanse:

Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette is so over-played in blogs, but I couldn't help adding this picture:

I like how the florals seem almost like the same pattern, but clearly are not.

Another interesting floral:

I'd even like this as a wallpaper or on a chair or even as a pillowcase depending on the dimensions...

Details of Fabric:

From Liivian talossa

From some Swedish clothes site?

I like the detail and pattern of the lace in combination with the boots.

From The Sartorialist

I love her neckline, and in below as well!

From Play Like a Girl (I think...?)

Studs on a sheer silk, genius.

I'm not sure where this is from:

But I still like the quality of the fabric and the design and colour of the acorns.

The Sartorialist again!, only this time in Brazil:

Here as well...

I like the choice of material for the dress, from Schacci:

From Play Like a Girl, the colours here and dying of the fabric, and it's cut make me drool.

Vena Cava

The Sartorialist, Look at the amount of varying colours!

And the level of colour repeated in this sweater:

One Day I'll be Done with All of This

I'm trying to finish everything I need to before tomorrow, to be prepared. It's difficult to do all of this and remain unstressed. Right now I'm not even sure if it's possible, only that I must complete the work.

I spent some time today speaking with my Italian professor and she gave me some encouragement. Lately, I've been upset that I had only just decided what I wish to accomplish (partly) in this life, and I've felt frustrated that I did not know sooner. She said the important thing is that I know now, and I know how I wish to act and to follow my beliefs accordingly. After the stress of this week washes itself away with the tide it came in on, I will spend time finishing an entry I have been working on. Until then I will leave you with this ad. I feel like the girl in the photograph.

I am enchanted by you:

I've watching the first two seasons of Bewitched and am steadily making my way through the third. There is something so irresistible to me about the show, that makes me look past the kitchiness of the whole show and love it or maybe even love it more. Right now it's raining outside and I'm happily watching the show, in my own little world.

Here are a few more pretty little things:

The House

It was modeled after another cape cod in Santa Monica.

Samantha and Darren

A Flinstone's Special

Loving Endora, and her bright color choices.

Always end with a kiss!

If I were Bewitched

If you're interested the first three seasons are currently on hulu.com for free.

Hey Little Indians

I've been thinking of summer, like the children fast asleep in their beds before Christmas eve.

Instead of having visions of sugar plums, I have visions of the beach, and sand. Being warm, and dancing in the wind.

Summer brings out a freedom in everyone, a creativity, that the bitterness of winter can hide.

For now, I hope that everyone is making their plans and dreams, and that they will all come true.

This summer I wish to be a little Indian.

Here are some things that are inspiring me right now:

Magnolia Pearl

(She is Amazing!)

Mociun

Bat for Lashes

From Oak NYC

Russian Magazines:

FaceHunter?

Everything ended up looking more like fairies and princesses, but I guess that's about as rebellious as I get...

More/Better Later, when my Thoughts are complete.
