fun : award & tag


wore many hats as a kid : not so much now : but, i do love them

Hi Everyone!

A few weeks ago the adorable Ellia awarded us with the 'I Love Your Blog' award and last week sweet Melissa tagged me with the '7 Random Facts Meme', so here goes:

1. I wore many interesting hats as a kid. I never wear them now, but have a small collection of vintage. Actually, I'm kind of obsessed with my hair.


Mom : Me : Aunt Caroline
Where are their hats and my front teeth? Why me, why anyone?


2. When I was 10 years old my Grandpa was probably around 70! Whenever he would visit I would ask him to play cards with me. I 'won' a lot.

3. While riding a bicycle, I can turn the corner without holding onto the handlebars. It's a wide turn, but I haven't wiped out, yet.


Did I dress myself that day? Look at the tilt of the hat and the hands in pockets.
Wish I still had the tree, but do have the handmade humpty dumpty.


4. Scott and I met on a blind date. We went to the ICE CAPADES with two other couples and their KIDS! Isn't that a crazy? And no, we've neither been back to the Ice Capades nor expect to do so.

5. My father-in-law calls me 'Miss Accurate' because I like everything just so. Fortunately, I'm not as tyrannical about it as I used to be ;).


Hey Grandpa, wanna' play cards?
But, please don't mess up the table. It took me an hour to get it just so.


6. I don't like to read instructions and would much rather spend countless hours trying to figure things out myself. On the other hand, if I don't know something I'll spend countless hours researching it. I suppose I'm a walking contradiction.

7. I think Steve McQueen is. the. man. But, Daniel Craig has enormous potential. If he starts racing cars in real life or some other macho activity, it could be a problem.



Now, it's my turn to pass on the love to a few others if they want to play along, too -
  1. Aimee
  2. Diana
  3. Jess
  4. Julia
  5. Krissy
  6. Livy
  7. Suzanne
xo, Cindy

How fun...I love your hat collection and what a great group of vintage photos...many of the items are so "in" now. :) I will do my best with the tag...it just might take a few days. Thanks Cindy...I loved getting to know more about you. That's so cool you and Scott met on a blind date.

I love your pictures! What a cute idea:) Your hats are great! I think Daniel Craig is pretty cute also:)

Laura said...

haha, this is so fun!
& the pictures are amazing!

also, it seems we have a couple things in common:
1) i lost both of my front teeth at the same time, too! what a terribly awkward couple of months.
2) i, too, have mastered the no-handed turn. what a rush every time!

These made me howl with delight! Thank you so much for the fun and the curious details. Each piece I find out about you, the more I like you!

Thank you also for the nomination! I'm tickled pink! Just pink, pink, pink!

By the way, thank you also for your note of understanding yesterday, I'm so glad I'm not alone in my horror of crazy co-workers :)

Do you still wear hats?

Cindy said...

i take a while for tags, too - no worries. this took me a bit of time as i tend to try to make it just so ;).

my brother recently gave me my mom's photo albums for a birthday present. it's been fun to look at them. i have more pics with hats, too.

all right laura! and, no, julia i rarely wear a hat these days. hat hair-phobic ;)!

Fun to see we have 2 things in common: hats and Daniel Craig!! I wear hats all the time and I was so happy when my grandmother gave me a couple of her vintage hats before she passed away. Wish I knew how to make them or had time to learn!! Great meme!
