~Mod Modesty Monday - Take a road trip with Christa Taylor~


~Its  "almost" summer and summery things are on my mind. Here are some pictures from the lovely website Christa Taylor - a clothing line started by a young lady with a passion for creating modest alternatives to the clothing one often finds on the racks today... Be sure to go check out their newest additions!
~Unfortunately the hat is not for sale! But isn't it darling?

 ~Scarves. Its time to start wearing head scarves when traveling I think!

 ~This is the Coconut Jan dress in white... Wondering why its called "Coconut Jan"? Go here to find out.

 ~B.I.G. over-sized glasses. And that polka dot scarf... I actually have a polka dot scarf, you should be seeing pictures of it soon...

 ~I really hope you go check out Christa Taylors amazing vintage inspired dresses! Also, for the curious, Christa has a blog called the "Empowered Traditionalist". Its worth checking into as well! Have a lovely Monday!

~Tea Time with Flour Sack Tea Towels~






~Its been a couple days since I last posted - and to tell the truth I've been incredibly busy! But here are some pictures I took of our "tea room" this morning, and especially some little white flour sacking "tea" towels we picked up at Walmart yesterday... They are adorable as they are, and I could just leave them alone, but I've decided to do some embroidery magic with my machine over the next couple days. I'll try to post pictures of the finished project when I get a chance! If you are ever at Wallys swing by the kitchen department and take a look at these towels, they come five in a pack for $4.50 - a great price!
