I'...You know, sweet Sanne, you are 100% correct. I've long known that fall brings me a certain type of joy that no other season can match and that I'm happiest when it's fall or focusing on fall related things, so I've been looking for more ways to weave elements of that season into my life throughout the rest of the year - while still, of course, appreciating and trying to get the most out of spring, summer and winter, too. I find that I'm feeling really at home in muted and dark colours this year, too - which may very well tie into what I just said. So for a fellow autumn fan like me, I hope you'll enjoy seeing earthy hues here throughout the rest of the year. :)<br /><br />Great job for looking for the silver lining in a grey day (I try to do that as well). We've had so many of them lately here, too, and while a hindrance in some ways (such as for taking photos outdoors), they've been very helpful on the productivity front. I hope you had a wonderful Etsy listing session and that all is well on your end as June wraps up.<br /><br />Tons of hugs & happy start of summer wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-9247985217023187362016-06-29T12:00:07.132-07:002016-06-29T12:00:07.132-07:00Thank you sweetly, lovely Laura.

I suppose because she cannot wait for Halloween. Haha! :) Lovely outfit which becomes you and your hair colour so perfectly. And if you ever get tired of that gorgeous fox brooch, do send it to me. I will look forward to seeing your vintage red coat, what a fabulous find. Today the rain is pouring down in Denmark, which is perfect weather for working on photos for my Etsy shop update.

When I worked up in (the historic living ghost town of) Bakerville, I'd often see them in the very early morning hours before the workday began, which is a standout memory of my time there for sure. <br /><br />That's awesome! I adore Used and readily admit that I went on a bit of a spree there last year. I'm so looking forward to sharing snaps of the gorgeous red vintage winter coat I picked up from them. It was definitely the pièce de résistance of that visit. <br /><br />Big hugs & happy start of summer wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-32379967016578742862016-06-22T08:24:41.182-07:002016-06-22T08:24:41.182-07:00Lovely outfit!

Ever since last year's post on such, I have been trying to post more with my teeth showing (albeit from what I/we perceive to be the most flattering angles for such). Sometimes I genuinely forget to smile with them showing on camera - old habits and all that jazz - but I'll continue trying, and sharing such here, as time goes on for sure. It will never stop being outside of my comfort zone, but that's okay. Some of the best and most rewarding things in life occur beyond those very borders.<br /><br />Many hugs & cheerful tail end of spring wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-28060148434735967502016-06-18T22:36:59.411-07:002016-06-18T22:36:59.411-07:00Thank you very much, lovely Laurie.

It is getting harder and harder to find vintage (especially pre-1960s) hats in the wild, as they say, these days, I agree. For that, and other reasons (including high shipping costs on most hats due to their size when shopping online from the States and elsewhere abroad), they are one of the key things I hunt for while vintage shopping during a vacation or business trip. Still no guarantee I'll hit upon on, but there's usually a better chance of such happening in a big city with multiple vintage, antique, thrift, consignment, etc shops. I hope a great chapeau or two comes your way soon, my dear. <br /><br />Have a fabulous weekend,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-31670163059837680532016-06-18T17:32:15.230-07:002016-06-18T17:32:15.230-07:00Fantastic outfit as usual Jessica!

Thank you for doing so and for your absolutely lovely compliments. <br /><br />I can totally relate. I utterly love vintage blouses, but would say that comparatively, I own relatively few. I'm actively trying to change that and in turn to photograph my new additions and share them here as time goes. I just picked up a darling little flower print one a couple of weekends ago from a small vintage fair in a nearby town and am hoping to sport it for my husband's b-day this year (as it stars one of his favourite colours and thus seems like a natural fit for such an occasion). <br /><br />I hope that you're doing great and enjoying a sunny, fabulous tail end of spring!<br /><br />Big hugs,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
