So one reason why I’ve been so quiet lately is that Jamie and I have been planning a big Silent Sundays vintage hunting trip/shoot, and we’ve been getting stuff ready for it. I’ve also been a little bit sick, and also we’ve had some things happen that I won’t get into here. It was a good/bad weekend. I did get to see my sister Ashley and her husband Danny and my nephew and niece really quickly on Saturday, so that was definitely a highlight. Also today Drew took me to the doctor and I got the staples taken out of my arm, and honestly those things poking into my skin was hurting more than anything else, so there’s a relief.
Right now I’m excited to leave tomorrow for our trip. Jamie and I are hitting up a ton of thrift/antique stores in 4 different states, two of them which will be completely new to me. We’ll be staying with her parents on the Mississippi coast and might even go to New Orleans for a quick little trip. It’s supposed to rain all week but we’ve got our fingers crossed it will clear up a tiny bit on Thursday for a shoot we have planned with a model I’m extra excited to work with.
It will definitely be a whirlwind trip, but hopefully we’ll get the chance to take a bunch of pictures along the way!
PS: We’re in Mississippi now! I’m updating the Silent Sundays blog each day with some photos from our trip, but I’m sure I’ll be writing about it here too.

Have fun! Life is better without staples in your arm
Hope you have a lovely trip and find lots of goodies!
I hope you have fun and make it to New Orleans too – I used to live there and it’s still my favorite city of all time! Enjoy Mississippi!
I just found your blog today and I’m quite awed by your lovely style. Also, I’m very jealous of your little trip… the opportunities for thrifting and picture taking sound endless!

Ah! Have so much fun in Mississippi! If you and Jamie get up to the northern part of the state, please stop by Oxford- would love to meet y’al!
ahhh! you are in my state! eat good food and be safe :)
Whatever you do that allows you to go all around the south and surrounding states to shop for vintage seems like the most perfect, ideal job.
I’m also glad you’re a fan of Eggie. The way he captures the South makes me want to go there and traverse the fields in a flowy cotton dress.
Take care and be easy. I hope you’re feeling better soon. a
