  • More Chinoiserie, but really it’s the cigar box purse that somehow landed in this scene (post garage purge) that really catches my eye 😂 But my eye doesn’t dislike it necessarily either. 🧐Plus I kept it bc it’s one of the first gifts from my husband way back in hikeschool. #chinoiserie #cigarboxpurse #throwback #beaton #cape
  • The Empty Pot: Truth is King. Err, Truth is Emperor. Which makes Chinoiserie the Empress. 🎎This is not technically the third on my list of summer reads. 📚 But, in honor of back to school, I have to say how cute this children’s book is- in theme (honesty/courage/humility) and illustrations (chinoiserie) 😍 Both of which make bedtime stories more fun.🎊 #beautyandbrains #theemptypot #demi #theemptypotbook #chinoiserie #ping #childrensbooks
  • Grateful & excited for this new year! 💜 @smhallsa #backtosmh2019
  • Melting at The McNay. But at least it’s beautiful. ❤️🖼 #tilelove #themcnay
  • Inspo: Mormonism. So, as I gained from the last book post, many of you were on the Crawdads➡️ #Educated train. A few things: 1. Here is a coat I wore when I dressed up as a ‘Mormon’ [My surname is Moorman you see] for Halloween a few years ago. Why have I saved this jacket? 😂 purge after purge, still here. Further, why did my mom save this jacket? For like 30 years. It’s bulky and surely not coming back in style?? Regardless, All I know is I’m never spot-on for costumes and I was with this one. 🎯 No makeup, all denim, long skirt and a quilt jacket? It was good. But, #2. Per the book: the overarching feeling you get is “Ruuuunnnn Forrest Run!!” 3. The place to find Hope in this one, and you 💯 need Hope in this one is to understand the title: Educated. It’s not over. What happened is not okay. But through her education- the trying, unruly and abusive road of it- her education is the only thing that brings anything akin to a happy ending- toward connection, understanding, feeling, and true community. She “educated” her way out of a cycle, toward a new life. She used education- both textbook and counseling-to discover a new place in a world she never could have imagined. To discover a place where creativity opens doors to a bigger world 🙌🏻 That’s a greater image of God, and the people he uses to fulfill that, than the version of Him who people try to use for their own purposes of control. Simply, control is the worst. A universal lesson to be learned for all of us. And for the courage it must have taken her to write this book Id say that Tara Westover melts the mallows. But guard your heart. It’s no easy read. #quiltedjacket
  • I’m on a 3 streak of good-reads. 📚The first of 3 if you’re looking for one was “Where the Crawdads Sing” by @authordeliaowens It is Wonderfully descriptive & It is gripping❗️As in, I sped-read like those people who read a page per second with their hands to find out what happens in Kya’s trial. 🐈 Chapter 33 🖼 was a hopeful chapter and you need a little hope to get through... well everything in life, but also this book 💔I would be remiss not to exclaim 4 stars for Jumpin’ and Mabel. Hint: this would be a perfect pair of names if you just acquired 2 dogs and want them to be blessed with hearts of gold. 💛 Read it! Then you’ll know why when I went searching for marsh pictures or paintings but then saw these images instead that they made me think of things Kya might like to live with. & I’d like to live with them too 😍 @secretsofahostess @janetgridley / @timorous_beasties / @steviehowellstudio @saturdaymarnincartoons / @lonnymag / @johnderiancompany #wherethecrawdadssing #interiors #bontanicals #curiosities #marsh #summerreads
