Fashionable Friday: What I Wore in Nashville

I have a pair of favorite brown boots that I have worn near to death. I've had them resoled twice, and the heels very badly need another repair. I refuse to let them die; they're just so great. I knew we were going to walk a lot, so I bought a pair of Dr. Scholl's inserts for them. They are phenomenal. I want to have these in all my shoes from now until forever. Don't skimp and buy the flimsy gel kind - they'll only break your heart.

Thrifty Thursday: Katy K's Ranch Dressing

The first thing I saw when I stepped into Katy K's Ranch Dressing was a big ol' black dog. I didn't notice what breed it was (I was trying not to have a panic attack), but my Very Excellent Boyfriend fell over himself trying to pet the puppy. I'm afraid of big dogs, so I hustled into the hallway, but Very Excellent assures me he was a sweetie, and doesn't like to eat curly-haired bloggers.

While the boys got to know each other, I moved from room to room looking at clothes - both vintage and new. I saw dresses by Stop Staring! and Bettie Page, two of my favorite ModCloth brands.

Speaking of Bettie Page, I just do not understand what all the fuss is about. Seriously.

Whatever Wednesday: Visiting Andrew Jackson's Estate

I miss being a First Lady. I had so much fun singing my guts out and dying in my husband's arms every night. Very Excellent knows how hard it's been to return to civilian life, so last weekend he took me home to The Hermitage.

And whatdya know? My house sits on this road:

Guys, that's so sweet!

Tasty Tuesday: What We Ate in Nashville

First up, I forgot to post a picture of the finished glasses yesterday, so here's a few:

Yes, a simple picture of some glasses spiraled into a pin-up photo shoot. More on that later.

Make-it-Monday: Customizing Sunglasses with Nail Polish

It's been a crazy few days, but I'm back where I belong - sitting in the King Bufu chair, sipping a homemade latte, typing a post, and halfway watching an episode of Supernatural (I'm on season 4! Halfway there!).

In honor of my mini-vacation, this shall be:

(Mostly) Nashville Week!

But today's post isn't about Tennessee, so settle down. This is a hometown craft. Get ready, though - the rest of the week is going to take you roughly four hours north. Pack light; there's a lot of us, and we all need room to stretch our legs.
