Sometimes I don’t know what gets into me.  I complain about winter, then when it’s finally spring, I pull out, not florals, but plaids.  I guess like Mary, I’m quite contrary. 

So all hail spring fashion in its many forms.  And gardens that grow the way you do.

Or, rather, one little green lady.

How is it Friday the 13th again?  We just did this!  You know what I haven't being doing a lot of?  Blogging.  Momlife, the nine-to-five, and, yes, my growing obsession with Instagram have claimed the better part of my brain.  But not today!  Now that the stars or pentagrams or whatever have aligned, it's time to get back into it.  So sit back, relax, and peruse these fun fits and necklaces.  I'll just be curating my next crop of creations.

And liking clothes I can't afford on Insta.

Seahorses don't like snow, and neither do I -- the end.  Just kidding!  Well, almost.  Because this will still be a short post.  But I'd be remiss without mentioning that it was the husband who took these pics of Sunday's snowstorm.  Also, that I felt fit to rip apart two old necklaces to make this Frankenstein of a statement piece. Howdy, Psychedelic Seahorse Necklace.  

Just consider it my amulet for warding off more Old Man Winter.
