Good afternoon. We are home already, so it looks like I’m in for a lazy afternoon. Fine by me. I really don’t get enough lazy days.
But we had a good getaway with lots of touristy goodness and non-camping adventure. It was too windy up in the mountains for our usual putt-putt battle, so The Husband settled for beating me at arcade Pac-Man and then we made the drive home. Sigh. I am not ready for vacation to be over, but I guess all good things have to come to an end sometime.
In the meantime, let’s play a game of Where’s Waldo: Version Jenny, to cheer us up.
I guess I’d like to play it off like it’s purely a coincidence. To be wearing a cherry dress and then happening upon a massive roadside cherry stand to take pictures. But the fact is that I have passed the cherry place many time in my life and never tire of it. So much so that I remembered that this dress hadn’t yet had its turn on the blog, and decided to coordinate the whole affair. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I really am that simple sometimes. I’d like to pretend that I am really cerebral and sophisticated, but when it really comes down to it? Well…LOOK AT ME I AM WEARING A CHERRY DRESS AND THIS BUILDING IS COVERED IN CHERRIES. ISN’T THAT NEAT?
But actually this is a very cherished dress of mine. I have had it for many years. I purchased it on a very fun vacation one year. I wore it pretty much every day on my honeymoon and for a lot of subsequent fun occasions since. It’s whimsical and always makes me happy. It’s a little late in the season for a halter dress, but I wanted to make sure it got it’s due and it was an easy conversion to just tie a top over it. I neglected my detail shots today but I’m also wearing my matching cherry necklace. Obsessed much? Maybe a little. Although not as much as I used to be, which is why my cherry purse is still tucked away in my closet. Regrettably.

i adore the cherries on cherries business. for real.
Ahhh, the Cherry Store. We do stop quite often because my 15 year old son loves cherries in just about everything. We buy cherry syrup, cherry honey, cherry sticks, cherry pies, etc…..
The dress is very cute and yes, it this is the perfect place to take the picture in it. So sorry that your vacation is ending. I sometimes think it would be great to be ‘on vacation’ all the time, but I’m sure at some point I would get bored with that also.
life is just a chair of bowlies.
I love this !! the cute cherry on cherry detail, and the fact it looks like such a fun building
Glad you have been having a swell vacation even if it is coming to an end soon – boo
I do love that little place. Mmmm…cherries! Your dress is divine. All good things must come to an end, true. However, more good things are to come. I miss you and soup dearly.
What a pretty dress! I would totally orchestrate a photo shoot just like that if I had time…
Too cute, I love it.
I hope you did get your relaxing afternoon in!
Love the dress and the way you made todays shoot happen. Very clever!
