born imaginative.

Family time

Table for 10, blessed to have a weekend with my family.

After we posted of our fun at the Medieval Faire, a long time friend and blog reader decided to surprise Audra with a homemade four piece outfit (and gifts for the other kids as well!). Audra loves it. She loves dressing in character and she especially loves layers. She has gotten quite a bit of use out of it. Thank you, Sara!

Thrifted.

FLip top bottle, hourglass, brand new basketball, a wooden ruler for my collection, a brand new thing of hair elastics, a mini cast iron pan. $10.

A mini wire cage (that has a pricetag of $29 on it), all that vintage fabric and some notions. $5.00.

Spring?!

Not only have we seen oodles of robins, but so many other birds too! Their songs are such a delight! I didn't realize how quiet the winter days are until the chorus has returned. Still we are covered under a blanket of snow, but not for long. One of the great things about seasons is spring brings out our desire to record everything in our nature journals. I'm not one to ever mind winter, but I also look forward to the coming of spring!

Jammin'

Don't bother her. She's busy listening to music. That beat must be a good one because it comes with dance moves. Little did I know that these ear muffs had tunes in them. Keep jammin' in your mama made Jammies, Anna-Kate. Don't let anyone dull your tune.

Animal Girl

This girl hardly ever plays with toys, but almost always has an animal close by. Can you count how many she has here? Three. Zippy. Nadia. Holly. I wonder how many other girls out there snuggle a cat, guinea pig and black lab at the same time?
