How exciting that yo...Thank you sweetly, dear Hope. How exciting that you got to purchase a brand new car! We gave serious consideration to such, and were not opposed to it, but this gently used 2012 beauty fit all our needs and gave us far more for our budget than most other comparable (new) vehicles, so it just made perfect sense to go with it. We're entirely in love and have even said that when the time goes to replace it (which hopefully won't be for many years!!!), this vehicle is so ideal for us that we might very well just get another (new) version of it then. <br /><br />That's very kind of you to say. Thank you! I hope that we're able to as well. With winter out in full force here and so many expenses as of late, I don't foresee any big trips in the near future, but hopefully at least a long weekend getaway or two will be in the cards for 2016 - and there's always the potential that a work trip closer to home with arise for Tony again and I can tag along for that. I so adore when such a chance arises! <br /><br />Tons of hugs from snowy Penticton,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-86712657673774997362016-01-16T05:52:33.192-08:002016-01-16T05:52:33.192-08:00Dear Jessica,
I am so happy for you and Tony that...Dear Jessica,<br /><br />I am so happy for you and Tony that you have found and purchased you new car! It really is enjoyable driving a vehicle that you love. <br /><br />We bought a new 2012 van in December 2011 after two weeks of intense shopping. It was our first brand new vehicle of our marriage - nearly 26 years into our marriage at that time. We still revel in the joy of having this lovely spacious vehicle. <br /><br />I hope you get a chance to take another glorious trip in your new car in the near future.<br /><br />Love and hugs,<br />♥HopeMrs. W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14183720450645314598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-80277262725529146112016-01-13T17:40:04.303-08:002016-01-13T17:40:04.303-08:00Thank you very much on both points, Lorena.

They were a local flea market find back in 2012, I believe it was (had to think about that one for a moment and was subsequently amazed so much time had already passed since then) and cost a mere song. They're well made, super classic looking, and have served me extremely well ever since. They come on almost every trip with me, as they're great walking shoes. Definitely one of those pairs you just know you'll use until they're on their very last legs (pun not really intended :)).<br /><br />Tons of hugs & joyful wishes to both you and Pat for each day of this beautiful year!<br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-69026409207812667132016-01-03T01:19:05.845-08:002016-01-03T01:19:05.845-08:00You have such a good eye, dear Beate!

It is indeed and really captures Tony's passion for artistic (and usually very flattering) lighting in his beautiful images. <br /><br />Hard to believe that we're already into the new year and that these snaps were taken over a month ago. How time flies!

Not the most vintage of looking cars, no, but it is a very classic brand and to that end, I've been thinking that later this year I might do a post on the history of Buick. Could be fun, especially for any car buffs amongst my readers. <br /><br />I hope that the first week of the new year is off to a splendid start for you and that all is well on your end. <br /><br />Tons of hugs & happy weekend wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-25602992838930842892016-01-03T01:13:57.117-08:002016-01-03T01:13:57.117-08:00That's wonderful to know!

I'm a very, very firm believer in the fact that something doesn't have to be genuine vintage to look the vintage part and couldn't fathom my wardrobe not being the mix of actual vintage, repro, 80s does 40s and 50s, and vintage appropriate pieces that it is. I think I'd feel like a chef who couldn't access about 75% of the world's ingredients if I couldn't pick and choose from those different categories to create the sorts of vintage looking ensembles that I so adore sporting. <br /><br />Big hugs & the happiest of New Year's wishes to you and your loved ones!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
