I grew up on ten acres in the middle of NOWHERE. Seriously there existed 1 grocery store and 1 gas station in the entire little town where my dad decided to build his house back in the early 1980's. Back then, I never appreciated it half as much as I do now. There is really something to be said about
peace and quiet and
all of that LAND to enjoy on
the countryside! Every time I visit my parents I dress differently than I do in the city in which I now live (app. 3 hours away). Just looking through my little shop, I'm reminded of how living in the country has affected what pieces I decide to choose for the shop!
That first dress (1970's Calico Cotton Dirndl) is my faaaaaavorite right now.
p.s. that is my dad in the bottom picture, tending to his horses on a misty afternoon. He's been crazy about those pretty animals ever since I've known him! ;)
