fashion friday…early edition

March 27, 2009

Hello. My name is Kasey and I love fashion. This is me. I’m standing in front of my garage, and as i stand here, i am realizing that the paint is peeling a bit. I guess i need to touch it up , and you probably wouldn’t have noticed if i didn’t say anything.

I decided I am going for a ride today………..last minute.

I’m going for a ride on our scooter, the metro. She’s an inexpensive version of the Vespa.


I love this thing. She can hit about 45, and normally the hubby rides her to the train station starting in the spring.

Not today…..I get her.

And don’t worry about the children, I tied them to a tree, so that I could get these pictures done.

The weather is just perfect. Do you see the green?

No snow in sight, and the grass is getting greener every day. Today is was 50 degrees, and I am excited. Something happened today {and nothing like this has ever happened}, and I can’t tell you what yet, but it’s going to be good.


Did you also realize that I’m almost at my 200th post? So, I see a party in the works, a big ole party.

Possibly a garden party?

*sigh*

I better go undo the children……….

I have to give it to Margaret Cloud , who said it best…… Cottage…..cheese.


I mean really, lots of white………….lots of muted tone on tones………………..and plenty of cottage………..

all cottaged up together, then you get the cheese. Love it.

But really.

What really defines me? My style? My look? I loved everybody’s responses!

French……*sigh*

Romantic…..*double sigh*

Bohemian ……..*makes me want to take a hike *

Nautural……*taking a hike while eating granola*

Victorian…………..*makes me want to paint*

French Farmhouse…….*makes me want to move to the country and start baking my own bread*

Posh………………*dreamy*

Vintage Chic………*triple sigh*

But really popped into my mind was *AnthropoloChic*

Is this a word yet?

If not, it’s all mine.

AnthropoloChic.

Could you live in one of these??

March 25, 2009

When we knew we were moving from Colorado to Illinois 2 years ago, I immediately jumped onto the Historic Properties web site to peruse around. I knew what I wanted….an old charming home. I was willing to forgo a finished basement for crown molding, an eat-in kitchen for french doors in the dining room, a master bathroom for hardwood floors. But this is me, and I told my hubby that I would be willing to sacrifice the “extra room” for a charming, small 3 bedroom home.

I found it immediately, and completely fell in love at first site.

My home hit 100 years old this year, and even though we are cramped in this home, I love it more every day. This home sits on half an acre, has extensive gardens in the back, and is blocks from charming downtown.

I decided to head back to this website and show you what all I found today…. This historic queen Anne is in Historic Greenville, ohio and dates 1902, is $579,000 and is a whopping 5700sf.


This home above is in Norway, Maine …it dates from 1894, and is just my style. Living quarters are upstairs with a retail space downstairs.

And, right in my price range of $149,000 with 2100sf.


oh, and be still my beating heart! This home above is in Redlands, Calif and was built in 1902, has a wrap around porch and is listed for $589,000 with 2771 sf.

And this Victorian Queen Anne above sits in Sac City, Iowa……it was built in 1893, is listed for $269,000 and is 5500sf! Are you kidding me? 55oo sf……

and last but not least, this home is in Mound City, Illinois. Built in 1913, is used as a B&B right now, sits on over 2 acres, is listed for $329,000 and is 4379 sf!

Did you see one that stops you in your tracks?
Please do tell me, what is your “style” dream home?
xoxo
