I suppose it is almost impossible to photograph. It is like a flash light when photographic, just bigger and very quick, and it appears by midnight in late July and August (when the grain is ripe, hence the name I suppose). Not like lightning at all. I packed yesterday in my vintage suitcase and we drive to my summer cottage tomorrow morning, ahh. Wishing you a lovely summer, dear. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-32256775035337203822014-07-04T02:25:43.964-07:002014-07-04T02:25:43.964-07:00Thank you, sweet gal, I'm very happy to know t...Thank you, sweet gal, I'm very happy to know that, as I am trying to carefully walk a fine line (and admittedly, it might be one that I drew, so to speak, myself) when it comes to blogging about my shop and its items. I want to do so when applicable, but certainly not alter the overall state of my blog to be like one big commercial or ad for my shop. Instead I want to pepper my posts with shop mentions and listing inclusions where applicable and still continue to balance, too, by speaking about items from other Etsy shops (and online vintage sources), just as I always have. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-71170975007098558152014-07-03T07:30:20.964-07:002014-07-03T07:30:20.964-07:00i love seeing your items featured in your own frid...i love seeing your items featured in your own friday fashionista posts! that leaf and stone bangle bracelet was so pretty. seannaapprovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546047220109216505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-7884602821885368552014-07-03T04:20:30.691-07:002014-07-03T04:20:30.691-07:00Thank you very much, sweet Sanne, they're one ...Thank you very much, sweet Sanne, they're one of my favourite reoccurring posts, too, and I love them all the more now that I use theme related titles, not just dates for them. <br /><br />Wow, that sounds like a really cool natural phenomenon as well.

We have a strange fenomen at midsummer, which we in Danish call "grain ripe" because it occurs at the time when the grain is ripe. It is like a photograper shooting in the night with a huge flash. Very strange.SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-73021399537986086622014-07-02T01:35:10.386-07:002014-07-02T01:35:10.386-07:00I had never heard of the midnight sun before, how ...I had never heard of the midnight sun before, how enchanting xxxMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238571735302117986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-76125531440895666072014-06-30T06:31:27.212-07:002014-06-30T06:31:27.212-07:00Love that!

I could picture that same sense you described to a tee and smile ear-to-ear to know that this start of summer inspired ensemble made you think of the good Inspector. Poitot is a particular favourite of both mine and my mother's as well. Have you ever seen the spoof that the UK TV program That Mitch and Webb Look did of it? It's fabulously funny and never fails to crack me up no matter how many times I view it (warning, it may not be entirely safe to watch at work or around very young kids, though it's not super racy or anything like that): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9iQ1yU5Ops<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-38551999612229420722014-06-29T23:56:03.381-07:002014-06-29T23:56:03.381-07:00Amazing!

There is, I fully admit, a good deal of vintage wear with small to miniscule waists, it's true (in part because, even with the advent of the so-called youth culture in the 1950s, until the 1960s, a lot of young women's wear for teenagers and slender young women was pretty much in the same, or identical, style as those pieces for older/more curvaceous ladies), but there are larger vintage sizes out there, too, and I do try to include some in my posts on a fairly regular basis, be they full on plus size or just a bit bigger than those itty-bitty 22-26 waists that are so very prevalent amongst vintage garments. My Etsy shop is going to be stocking clothing too in the near future and when it does, I'm striving to have a good range of sizes there so that ladies of all wonderful shapes and body types can hopefully find something fabulous for their wardrobe there. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-5381755781608607142014-06-29T01:05:05.215-07:002014-06-29T01:05:05.215-07:00That is seriously cool!

I really hope you guys are able to make it and would love to hear about your travels if/when you do. It's the number one spot in Canada that I want to see. I don't know when that might happen, but I steadfastly like to believe that it will. I have the Yukon in my blood, so to speak, thanks to my gold rush ancestors, and feel such a powerful pull to the land of the midnight sun.
