Strawberry buttons & sunsets

No news to report here, I've just been doing lots of hula hooping and knitting for the swap. Last week I took my first hoop dance class with the St. Louis Hoop Club and I'm in love, so expect a proper post on that soon! Of course I'm probably the least graceful person in the world, but I'm working on it.

In St. Louis, two of the main parks are Tower Grove and Forest Park. Normally I prefer Tower Grove, but these were taken at the latter-- it's huge and has a golf course and all sorts of things. We drove around for a few minutes while looking for a nice photo spot, and ta-dah! The Grand Basin at sunset.

I feel like I've worn this outfit a million times, but apparently I haven't put it on the blog yet. This little girl's cardigan is my favorite.. I think I paid about a dollar for it in some hole-in-the-wall thrift shop in NC. It's pretty much the definition of whimsical-- strawberry buttons, embroidery, and little scalloped cuffs.

I was very happy with all the craft swap emails, by the way! All the packages will go out next week-- I hope you guys love the bows and wear them lots.
