THE WHEEL OF THINGS

I recently read the biography of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the noted authoress of one of my all time favorite books, Anne of Green Gables. Reading about her life, made me understand how much of herself she put into all of her heroines and reminded me of how much I can relate to her and her characters. It also made me eager to re-read some of her other works that I had read a long time ago and had forgotten about, Kilmeny of the Orchard and the Blue Castle. My simple outfit was inspired by Victorian Picnics. The seersucker dress from American Apparel is the best dress to flounce around in and my thrifted basket purse is quickly becoming a great summer alternative to my Fieldguided tote. The disposable camera summer series continues with this set of photos taken by my Sister Katy.
