This blog post/ article. Everything about this post.

This is one of the photos that accompanies the post. (aka I did not take this- but I really really wish I had!)

This post can be found on the incredibly addictive blog Messy Nessy Chic:

Basically her entire blog gives me inspiration.

& These pictures- they make me feel so happy when I'm feeling sad.

You really do need to click on that link & go look at them.

Do it.

Now.

Also, tonight I am cooking dinner! And I started reading a new book!! I'm doing pretty well with my summer list so far.
As for my no new clothes challenge, I am doing well in that area also! Maybe because it has only been a week (we will see). I have thought about my challenge and decided that, if I ever happen to be in a shop & find something awesome (like my 1920's wool US Navy sweater) I am allowed to purchase it. Other than that, because those kinds of finds are very rare, I am not going to buy clothes. Still sticking to my "I can get accessories" rule- because socks wear out & tights do too.

I came across this website while looking at 

pictures of insects that inspire me. This photo

specifically led me to the site:

 

They are Victorian Era slides of insects! The 

website specializes in these, as well as slides 

from before 1840. Not only do they have 

Insect slides- but fossils & the like as well. 

I do not own a microscope, but now I really 

wish I did! It's all so fascinating. 

I found these two pictures as well. I just love 

the minty color of Luna moths, & quirky old

drawings. 

One day, I will own a microscope!

Tuesday Tunes Day, on Wednesday

I had such a bad sinus headache yesterday I forgot to post the Tuesday Tunes Day, so I'm doing it today on Wednesday.

What I wore & Betty's Restaurant

Top: Goodwill
Skirt: Plato's Closet
Locket: Graduation from High School Gift- I always wear it!
Shoes- plain black flats I wear obsessively from Wal-Mart, they remind me of the simple Repetto flats without the debt.
I love going to thrift stores, 90% of my wardrobe I get from them. You don't have to spend tons of money to look cute, also if you shop at a thrift store you're doing good by the planet & donating to them = some good karma ;)
Rant rant rant but it's something I believe in.
Betty's was delicious. I had a breakfast sandwich & chocolate bailey's cake. That cake was damn fine. If you get a chance to get to Betty's, order this cake.
Afterwards we went to Tift Nature Preserve, where we saw the new bat sculpture & a nest filled with baby birdies!
