I can’t get by Easter without watching 1948 classic, Easter Parade every year. This year it was the sound track to my preparations in hosting my very first family holiday affair (which, by the way was a delightful success). I find myself window shopping at anthropologie.com every couple of days. Turns out, I find it less tempting to spend money when shopping on-line than in person, which is good. Having recently watched my favorite Easter movie, I was reminded of a dress worn by Ann Miller during a dance number with Fred Astaire when I saw THESE draperies. I imagine these red and white, dip-dyed curtains would float dreamily by the breeze of an open window just like Ann Miller’s dress which seamed to float across the dance floor. Further proving my point that film is a direct influence on pop-culture and my own taste, these curtains seem to be an exact replica of the dress. Most buyers of these draperies will not be made by those who have seen this delightful film, but, I don’t believe anyone would argue that they give a certain vibe of 1940‘s hollywood glam.

I got to meet my hubby in St. Louis after visiting my family in Oklahoma. We met up to attend a worship conference put on by Bifrost Arts. While we were there we got to do a good bit of site seeing, which was a much needed vacation for the both of us! We visited the SLAM (St. Louis Art Museum). I fell in love with this piece by Tejo Remy. It’s called: “You Can’t Lay Down Your Memories” and you can learn more about it HERE.

Balloon Rose on my grandmother’s quilt. My valentine came home with this cute balloon rose. It needed to be captured before it shrinks away. May it live forever in my valentine memories. And may my Granny B’s memory live forever in her hand stitched cathedral quilt, she loved blue.

I just can’t believe that it’s February. And the big heart day is just around the corner. I might just need to plan some special cake baking for my own sweetie.
