Celebrated their first anniversary at Mid-Atlantic Mercantile. Shop owner Emily Slagel invited my sister and I to bring a capsule collection of late-summer vintage clothing to the event, and we spent the afternoon sipping cocktails from the Livermore and generally having an amazing time. Vintage shell necklace purchased at a flea market. Edwardian blouse purchased at an estate sale.

Saturday, October 25, 2014. Green Witch by Alice Hoffman. Green Witch, written by Alice Hoffman and edited by David Levithan, came out in 2010. I just discovered this slender volume that breaks many rules. The blend of the matter of fact telling, the poetic language, and the haunting voice make this a book to be treasured. Only a true artist and a fantastic editor could have pulled this off. And in Green Witch, Hoffman and Levithan have created a gem. Sunday, October 5, 2014. Thursday, October 2, 2014.

Tuesday, May 25, 2010. My sweet baby girl was born last week. She is just a doll.

Two documentaries have been completed of the Elkhart County courthouse in Goshen, Indiana. See things that you would never see even if taking a tour. Stories from the courtroom, an 1860 Lincoln presidential campaign banner, and a complete tour of the courthouse clock and clock tower are just a few.
