Catching Confetti
Remember a couple of weeks ago when I mentioned that Tom and I had been out taking photos for a project I would tell you about later? Well, today's the day. Mandi from Here's Looking at Me Kid asked me to participate in her Catching Confetti series. If you haven't checked it out yet, it's an ingenious list of fun resolutions to kick off the beginning of the new year. My resolution was "explore your town" so I took the opportunity to make a vintage shopping guide of Lancaster, something I've been wanting to do for ages. Go here to check it out!

The Harmony Club
By now my love of old decrepit buildings is well documented here. I'm always a sucker for peeling paint, old hardwood floors and light pouring through dusty windows. So, it's no surprise that I'm head over heels for the Harmony Club. After being abandoned for nearly 40 years the right person came along with a vision and turned it into a spectacular living space. And if I wasn't smitten enough already, learning that the Club is located in Alabama, my home state, sealed the deal. It certainly smashes a lot of preconceptions about what can be done with abandoned buildings. Soooo many places like this are being left to rot or demolished! It's wonderful to see one being put to such good use.

This first weekend of the new year was pretty laid back around here. I spent the majority of my time camped out on the couch watching a Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathon, snuggling with the cats and feeding my Nutella addiction. Exciting, right?! Yeah, that's how I roll. Tom and I also watched parts of Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage, during which I realized that, when parted down the middle, I have some serious Geddy Lee hair going on right now. It's taking all my will power to stick with the growing out process! I don't know what I'll do when the weather warms up and I can no longer hide under a beret.

Did you all have a wonderful New Year's Eve? Mine was lovely and low key with midnight being celebrated with a couple of gal pals and a bottle of champagne. I can hardly believe another year has come and gone. I don't really do New Year's resolutions so I think instead I'll make a list of thing to accomplish this year... things like take a class to learn something new (knitting maybe?), read a book a month (I already have one picked for January), take a trip back to Los Angeles (tickets have been purchased!) and sew a dress that I actually want to wear (unlike the ones that are usually disasters).
By the way, can you tell this outfit was completely inspired by the "Babes in the Woods" editorial I posted the other day. The photos reminded me that I had this J.Crew dress I found at a thrift store languishing in the "to-be-sewn" pile next to my desk. I finally felt motivated to break out the sewing machine and give it a couple of tweaks and now it's perfect.
