This Past Life

In April 2012, I spent a month living technologically in the 1950s in New York City. This meant no cell phone. No internet. No Facebook! As a result of that challenge I'm on a quest for a more polite life. Now in Nashville, TN.

Thank you, @food_sheriff and @3stofthemonth for making this #Tiki photo possible. I'd also like to thank #Rum and #Tequilla, without which a divine time with these guys drinking #Booze and #DoGooding would not be possible... especially #MidCentury #Style. #NashvilleTN #Foodie #Boozie

My husband is pretty cute when he refreshes himself with an ice cold #CocaCola while painting the gutters on our #MCM #Inglewood home in #NashvilleTN. #VintageLife #VintageStyle #IdLikeToBuyTheWorldACoke #TakeThatDonDraper

Beautiful piece by #Copenhagen #Artist @shesabird nestled with my #AlexGarnett #Skull ring from #Sweden. Two of #MyFavoriteThings finally have a place in my little #Inglewood #NashvilleTN home. Well, that only took a year. #HomeIsWhereTheARTis

I'm teaching a #SewingClass on the #Vintage #DirndlSkirt at the end of the month in #NashvilleTN. Dir....what?! Don't worry, you're not the only one who might not know what that is. It's a simple gathered-waist skirt. Now that you know what it is, come make one with me! ThisPastLifeNashville[dot]com/classes #NashvilleSewing #VintageSewingClasses #LearnNewThings #EastNashville

Every Sunday I cut a few of my #Tennessee #Wildflowers and place them in a yogurt container I hauled all the way from my time in #Paris with #Parsons. I had just finished viewing the #Catacombs and ate it at the foot of #LuxembourgGarden. I think of how that trip changed me every time I look at them. #TravelMore #ExploreTheWorld #BeInspired #Remember
