Potpourri 2024

 




I thought I'd go through my phone and post photos that came out ok.  There's a little bit of everything here.  Even a heart shaped puddle.  Thank you all for sticking with me even when I wasn't here.  Wishing you all a healthy and peaceful new year!

  18. First off, you are looking just beautiful! I think your Style Words should be Gentlewoman Classic Retro Preppy. Some mix of those. You have the best casual elegance, very natural yet put together. Thanks for sharing photos of your look; like others I always enjoyed your fashion posts. Actually, you could have done a post for every photo here, just the photo plus a bit of the story behind your things. I love your wallpapers, and how fresh you manage to make your home each season, with just a few changes. "Maurice" ended up in the bathroom! I like it. Long ago we had a vintage picture of the Queen above our toilet. No disrespect; she just looked really good there :-)
    Happy New Year Janet!

  22. Janet, Thank you for the post of beautiful and calming photos. I love the blue and white bedroom wallpaper. Your home is so pretty and seems to be a refuge for you. I had lost touch with your site and am very glad to find it again. You inspired me to shop vintage clothing and while I am not as stylish as you I have a great time thrifting. Sherry B

  23. Nice to see you and I really like the outfits you put together. I am a big fan of white cotton nightgowns. I have even managed to find a full length/long sleeved version for winter.

  24. I was thinking of you recently. It is lovely to have you back. Wishing you a bright, healthy and tranquil 2025.

  25. I follow your guidance annually and look to pass along or discard 100 items at the beginning of each year that doesn't serve my needs or goals any longer. Its nice to refine the items that help me and remove the clutter that often distracts. Its a nice lesson to my young son too on the importance of sharing and passing along quality items. Happy New Year.
