......Old town Louisville

We went to check out old Louisville the other day, and it was really beautiful with all the rows and rows down streets of charming houses, all so unique and colorful with their beautiful architecture. 

And the best part was the tour we got to take of the most beautiful house, well mansion, in all of Louisville. 

The Conrad-Caldwell house.

 This is your warning, this is a long photo post....... :)

 

Old church

 

The lamp posts had real flames in them

 

The floors were amazing, made of 7 different kinds of wood. 

This fireplace is made out of marble, and was shipped over from Europe along with most all the other furniture in the house from Mrs.caldwells 6 month excursion to Europe strictly for the purpose of furnishing her home. 

The wallpaper throughout was awesome. 

Little personal salt and tiny spoon.

 

 

This pink room was Mrs.caldwell's

A self portrait the daughter drew of herself, and her wedding dress, she had a 17 inch waist.

.....I really want a hairless cat

Well they are really called a Sphynx, and I think they are the greatest thing ever.

 

......Dragonfly

Pretty flying bugs are strangely attracted to my cousin and are always landing on him for long periods of time.

So I take photos.

 

......Being a tourist

Today we all played tourists and went to see some places such as Fort Knox, the Patton Museum, 

(about all the different wars, where we saw a piece of the Berlin wall), Fort Duffield civil war site, (the houses were so TINY) and Abraham Lincoln's birth house/memorial.

Oh and there are TONS of butterflies everywhere! It must be the season or something. 

They land all over you and start licking your skin, my cousin had one land on his hand and it wouldn't let go!

So cute.

Fort Knox.

My uncle being silly :)

......Someplace new

I am in Kentucky for the month of September, I'm staying with my aunt,uncle,and cousin that I rarely ever see. They invited me to spend some time here and I thought it would be a nice change of scenery (and I'm always looking for a reason to travel)  I have my own little green room and I'm starting my unpacking and making it my own for the time I'm here. Tonight we sat out back by the fire pit and here are just a few random snapshots.....

.....Canada's club scene sucks

Shirt from PETA2 , gray skirt at Forever21 for only 5$ (and sooo comfy!) 

and faux leather boots from Target :)

Dreamcatcher

I have always had an attraction to dreamcatchers for as long as I can remember.

And I have recently been thinking of making one myself and so I set out for the craft store, then printed a how to off the internet and followed it roughly to make my very first dreamcatcher! 

I'm super pleased with how it turned out and I'm sort of really excited about it  =D

Guest post on linda lost in switzerland

The lovely Linda, from Linda lost in Switzerland asked me to do a guest post about my vegan blog for her hobbies, interests, and passions segment this month and I was more then happy to do it :) I always love to hear that people are interested in my diet and lifestyle and I like to get the chance to tell people about it. She has a lovely blog and I love the way she set up my post, I hope you will all go check it out :)

Laying on my roof sharing the afternoon with the stormy skies.

1970's

Two more outfits from my neighbor Dolly, she said the jumpsuit was her favorite :)

(I can't believe she was the exact same size as I am, it's so fun)

Lychee

Today while in Whole Foods I found some fresh lychee fruits and decided to try them since I love lychee flavored things. They are jellyish and almost bitter and sweet at the same time, I can't decide if I like them.....
