I'm a huge (!) fan of tapestry too, yet own almost nothing in this beloved, classic material (save for this beautiful handbag - oh, and a cute tapestry Christmas pillow). I'm thinking that I really must try and change that, especially if I could find more vintage tapestry pieces in my price range.<br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-41637021401281592092012-07-07T01:42:25.483-07:002012-07-07T01:42:25.483-07:00Thank you very, very much, Ashlee, I'm deeply ...Thank you very, very much, Ashlee, I'm deeply touched to know how much you enjoy my writing.

I'm really ok with that, actually, because I feel that most people (the example of your friend is the perfect one to highlight this point) are actually more beautiful because of their imperfections and the various scars and marks they have to show for the battles they've won throughout their lives. It is are uniqueness that sets us apart and can help make us more fascinating. Life would be rather dull and uninspiring if we were all perfect carbon copies of one another. <br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-3760144784317960742012-07-06T21:26:05.913-07:002012-07-06T21:26:05.913-07:00Hi sweet Rachel, I appreciate your understanding. ...Hi sweet Rachel, I appreciate your understanding. It's good to not feel like one is in the boat all alone when it comes to hangups they have about their body.<br /><br />My little tattoo (which so, so needs to be retouched because it was never quite as solid as it could have been and has faded a bit over the years), is my one and only. I got it as a teenager in the wake of getting out of an extremely abusive relationship. It symbolized so much then and was proof, in a roundabout way, that I'd survived (because I was alive to feel the needle on my skin and because I was free to do with my body what I pleased). The word (poet) is because I've always written poetry and really felt that my writing helped to define me at the time (come to think of it, it still does). <br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-41190596933787895522012-07-06T21:14:33.257-07:002012-07-06T21:14:33.257-07:00I understand your feelings completely, we'll j...I understand your feelings completely, we'll just leave it at that.....<br />{but, for what it is worth, I didn't think twice when I looked at your arms-I was actually wondering the story behind your tattoo!}.<br /><br />And thank you for the story-I loved hearing about the backstory!<br /><br /><3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01144513171533077962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-12639312788706285732012-07-06T19:55:20.461-07:002012-07-06T19:55:20.461-07:00I adore your style!

This outfit is gorgeous, I love hoe there are so many elements to it, the accessories, the bag, and of course the clothes. That dress is so lovely on you, it must be so precious. I would love to own a genuine 40s dress, and I have searched and searched, but so far, a rare few are the correct size (with my short height) and always quite expensive. I'm hoping to chance upon one like a miracle. Your hair looks amazing!<br /><br />http://meggymoo0.blogspot.comMeg Eileen Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614355980500483411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-5115470595480369892012-07-06T16:02:50.282-07:002012-07-06T16:02:50.282-07:00I love your handbag it's beautiful! :DI love your handbag it's beautiful! :DChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304309632106600773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-73134482611228715782012-07-06T13:01:04.405-07:002012-07-06T13:01:04.405-07:00Jessica you look absolutely beautiful, arms includ...Jessica you look absolutely beautiful, arms included!

Your arms look super adorned with one of my fav things...a vintage tapestry handbag! I love vintage tapestry purses, tapestry spectacle cases and vintage tapestry handbags..you get the picture I'm sure. I have a small collection of gently used vintage tapestry items which I jealousy guard and only use on rare occasions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758926343154376267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-43655853115156975952012-07-06T09:47:09.471-07:002012-07-06T09:47:09.471-07:00Hi darling =)

I'll have you know that I didn't notice anything unusual about your arms when I looked through the pictures, and when I got to the last few paragraphs I had to go look again to try to find what you disliked about them, and even then it was't very obvious to me. Sometimes, it's a good thing that there is summertime weather to force us to overlook our flaws!<br /><br />Thank you also for stopping to look at my little blog...

I own a 40's piece and I'm nervous about wearing it for too long. The most I will wear it is for a evening event or church {it's a 40's cocktail dress, I believe}. I would just hate for something bad to happen to a piece of history.seannaapprovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546047220109216505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-91364780659179985962012-07-06T09:26:47.386-07:002012-07-06T09:26:47.386-07:00Today's outfit is adorable!

I know a professional model and they have to edit out her surgery scars in photos- the reason that she is model-thin is that she has serious gastrointestinal issues.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175728119875214529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-74873509501166757352012-07-06T09:07:15.463-07:002012-07-06T09:07:15.463-07:00Soooo pretty and the pics are as beautiful as alwa...Soooo pretty and the pics are as beautiful as always (L)Fifties Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985093074578449591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-78721673303619978722012-07-06T08:10:22.752-07:002012-07-06T08:10:22.752-07:00The dress is gorgeous and your arms look great!

They have a timeless charm about them. <br />It's too bad those businesses burned down. My home town used to have a bordello back in the day. I'm told that there are remains left in the hills somewhere. <br /><br />I have a special distaste for strip clubs. To me they are gateway to men behaving disloyally with an excuse. My father was a huge patron of strip clubs. This lead to him getting private dances and later cheating on my mom. I refuse to go or let my husband go to one. And living in Nevada there are plenty of strip clubs and whorehouses.Mariela Santillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293755332845325555noreply@blogger.com
