Style Scouting: Vol. 248
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
Hello – It is Sunday June 29th. Today I am officially 66 years old. I remember when I turned 55, I joked that I was the speed limit. Now…
…I can say that I am cool and going to get my kicks on Route 66. :-)
I bought myself a birthday gift – a present from me to me. It came on Thursday and I assembled it. Now I just need to add my personal style to it using paint. I will share what it is with you this week.
Now onto the links I found for you this week.
