As a little girl, I was hopelessly smitten with Anne of Green Gables. Admittedly, I tried but failed to power through the books, but I adored the Wonder Works series with Megan Follows and Colleen Duhurst. I finally a character I could relate to! Not only did the story introduce me to Anne's world, but I also became an avid reader of Tennyson's poetry and a collector of Gibson prints. As is usually the case, one thing led to another and Tennyson's poetry led to a love of John William Waterhouse's paintings and then all the Pre-Raphaelites, which led to a trip to London to view an exhibit at the Tate British, which led to a love for travel. Gibson's prints led me to collect antique clothing and experiment with photography and of course those things all led me to this blog. I'm not sure if I'd directly link all this to Anne, but maybe she was the spark that ignited a love of so many things in me. So, she deserves at least a little tribute and this outfit is inspired by and dedicated to Ms. Shirley.
