Grandfather’s Ivy Caps

Tweed Ivy CapGrandfather’s Ivy Caps

Did you know these hats for men were called ivy caps? I didn't. Today, I saw 4 men wearing them and I rarely see that. One man even had a bow tie and cardigan on with his ivy cap.

I went to a fun crafting event last week at @lnc.a I went to a fun crafting event last week at @lnc.artistry with a few other ladies, wine, and snacks. We bedazzled a book! 

I took my favorite book ever, a signed copy of @elizabeth_gilbert_writer's, #EatPrayLove, as I thought it would look cool with some jewels. 

It's hard to see in any light I tried to take a photo in but it was fun. Here's some other books that got bedazzled as well.

If you are a fan of cats (who isn't?) I recommend If you are a fan of cats (who isn't?) I recommend this book that I checked out from my local library.

This is my new @retro1951 @smithsonian Dinosaur Fo This is my new @retro1951 @smithsonian Dinosaur Fossil fountain pen with a medium nib. Isn’t it grand? I love how it looks like an antique already. Plus, it pairs perfectly with all my dino @lego at work and home. I put @ferriswheelpress Steeped Umber in it which is a medium brown and that makes it even better! Smooth writer. I have this same nib and pen in the Winnie-the-Pooh version so I knew I would love it. #Retro1951 #Smithsonian #Dinosaur #Lego #FountainPen #FerrisWheelPress #Ink

I'm introverted and usually found with my nose in a book and pen/pencil in hand. I'm addicted to yoga, lip gloss, dumplings, and have an intense love for Scotland and Paris. It's been said I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n roll. Read More…
