Day 21-Layer it On

Much like layering this dress, I feel like life is coming at me in the form of layers lately. As soon as I take a layer off and feel like I can breathe, it's time for another layer (or struggle) to be thrown over my shoulders.

Life, much like this dress, can be suffocating at times. There are twists, turns, miscommunications, uncomfortableness, and hurt. But in all of it, I stand here in my layers knowing that it is all going to be good in the end.

Isaiah 26:3-You keep completely safe the people who maintain their faith, for they trust in you.

Day 20-Are We There Yet?

Although I am thankful for this dress and this project, I am ready to see the end of October. I felt so much better when I ran into a fellow dress project participant and friend this morning at church. The first words out of her mouth were, "I'm over this dress!" I laughed and was so relieved to hear I wasn't alone. We laughed about washing it at random and weird times, and I told her my story of wanting to set mine on fire. It's moments like these that put a smile on my face and will keep me wearing the dress, for 11 more days.

Windowpane Pendant c/o Uncommon Goods

Welcome October, and welcome October Dress Project 2013 day one. What makes a new dress even better? A new necklace to go with it. This windowpane pendant was sent to me by Uncommon Goods. Artisan Etta Kostick was raised by a family of glassblowers along the woodlands and seashores of Massachusetts. She utilizes stained glass and malleable soldered metal to create refined geometric pieces that possess a touch of fantasy. I am in love!

Uncommon Goods is also a wonderful option for Christmas gifts for women if you are looking for something unique. The have everything from home and garden, to dining and entertaining, office, and accessories. Be sure to like them on Facebook for updates as well.
