Sunday Night at the Homestead

My mother's house is full of stuff - beautiful, interesting art, random beribboned hats fit for Ascot, even Absolut Vodka in a red sequinned case! Sunday night at home was a pleasure. If you're not familiar with my mother's treasure-trove of a house, I've previously posted about her cavernous wardrobe here.

On an unrelated note, I've not been as frequent with my posting or with my commenting as in the past. This is not because I've lost my passion for the blogosphere and connecting with all you lovelies, but because of my "real" life which is currently demanding a lot of time from me. I do get back to every single comment, not out of obligation, but because I find it the most rewarding part of blogging, but my presence might not be as pronounced as in past times. Forgive me.

  1. Those hats are incredible. Your mother sounds like she must be amazing. And your bread makes me smile. It reminds me of rainbow bread I used to get when I was a kid.

    And the event I went to was the Juno Awards - Canadian version of the Grammys.

    I love the rows of buttons - I featured a whole bunch of buttons on my latest post too!

  5. Those buttons are amazing.
    And toast with sprinkles- I've never thought of such a thing and it kills me that I have to get through the whole work day before I can go home and try it!

  6. Your mom sounds so fascinating! I wish I that kind of direct influence fashion-wise. I'm not sure where my interest in all-things-sartorial came from!? My mom thinks I'm a bit of a freak, LOL!! And is that bread with cookie sprinkles?? You always most the most yummy, colorful food!

  7. I love the buttons - and mostly the sprinkles on toast!

    Even if your real life is busy (mine is too!) I hope that it's going well!

  8. ha, I'm amused by the sequined vodka. And I wish my mother had such hats! She's not one for fashion, though.
    Apparently my grandmother was really into shopping when she was younger. She tells me stories about when she would see clothes in Vogue and then drive down to Los Angeles and buy them during her lunch break. Why oh why didn't she keep her clothes?!?
    sigh.

  15. That is most definately quite alright Ana, you take as much time as you need for RL, I have plenty to catch up on reading here for now as it is lol.

    Why doesn't my mother have an as awesome collection of delightful items as yours? It is so wonderful that you two seem to share the same taste in beautiful things.

    *gasp* I have had fairy bread since like forever! I have a sudden urge to go buy some hundreds and thousands now...

  16. Cute hats! I love the combination of this top and skirt. Now I really want to try sprinkles on bread.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Those hats are so fantastic. And grey and pink together is lovely.
    Ok, so bread + sprinkles = BEST IDEA EVER. I will definitely be trying that once Easter rolls around and I stop this crazy self-imposed bread fast.

  18. Oh it's all about the angles honey. The boyfriend is taught well to get nice and low in order to maximise the height function....

    Oh and I have the same problem with rings! They are great adornments but make my fingers clumsy as hell.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Don't blame yourself too hard, Ana.
    We still love you.
    Thank you for the warm wish..

  20. What a cute top:) You always have such colorful, beautiful pictures, they make me smile:)

  21. Haha, I just about squealed with delight when I saw the pieces of bread with sprinkles on them! Was that your creation or was it a picture you found elsewhere? Either way, I'm going to have to try that someday :)

    Best of luck with everything you have going on!

    LOVE the hats, too :)
