The New Banner is Here

It may take some doing to set up my blog, but I have a fabulous banner, thanks to Jamie Wolcott.  Here’s a little preview, which will become my button in time, Golightlyfinal_1 just in case I don’t figure things out in the near future.  I know, it’s small, but I LOVE it.  Thanks, Jamie!

I’ve realized that when I move in May, Wearing Black in New Mexico may be a defunct title for me.  In a recent blogger post, Sometimes Pretty is Enough, I wrote about how I love pretty with an edge, how I long to exude the class of Audrey Hepburn.  I’m a long way away from her, icon and humanitarian extrodinaire, but a sweet friend commented that she and her husband had referred to me as a sort of Post Modern Audrey.  Wow!  To say the least.  But that got me thinking about what I want for my blog, how I want it to look, what my blogging aesthetic is, as it were.  And I thought.  Yeah.  Pomo Golightly. 

So, imagine Moon River playing softly in the background.  Here we go, baby, here we go.

  1. Jamie’s banner looks great! Love the polka dots.
    Do you know the knitting blog imaybeknittingaranchhouse.com? It’s also a Holly Golightly reference. Apparently, in the movie, Audrey Hepburn is knitting something huge and shapeless (see above) and when someone asks her what she’s making, she says “I may be knitting a ranch house”.

  2. I totally love the new banner and that knitting bag seems so familiar!! I had a bad day last week and finally took my favorite Dancing Cat bag home with me. It made a bad day much better and I know you understand that!
    Welcome to the new home – I hope you’ll be very happy here.
