I watch way too much TV. Dusty and I often find ourselves in the midst of 10+ shows at a time, before we get extremely overwhelmed and end up weeding out some of the lower priority shows. We watch every show together, but the truth is, as a law student, he really should not (and usually cannot) watch so much TV. Because of study time and date nights and various other activities, we end up getting behind and I'm left twiddling my thumbs until he has time to catch up on our long list of backlogged episodes. Summers are basically just one giant TV marathon for us. That being said, I decided I needed a few shows that were mine. Thus, my embarrassing binge-watching of shows like Vampire Diaries and Downton Abbey! One of the shows we began watching together was Once Upon a Time. We watched season 1, but then slowly began getting behind and never really caught up. I recently began watching it again, claiming it as one of my shows. It's fun and cheesy and I remembered why I loved it so much: Mary Margaret's clothes. She's so cute, it's ridiculous. I've long been a fan of Ginny Goodwin, ever since she played a slightly chubbier cello player that burst into the boy's dorm rooms after hours to get her guy in Mona Lisa Smile. One of my favorite movies! As soon as I started catching up on season 2 of Once Upon a Time I was totally hooked on her outfits once more. Her character is so classy and chic. Two of her looks stuck out to me, and I'm totally going to use them as style inspiration this fall/winter! Belted Red Dress: Mary Margaret: Similar: Ruche (shop!) Button-up Plaid Skirt: Mary Margaret: Similar: Ruche (shop!) Ruche (shop!) LOFT (shop!) Modcloth (shop!) Which TV show character's style do you drool over?

Flower Fairies When you take a moment to look at the fairies listed as part of Queen Titania's entourage in A Midsummer Night's Dream, one can guess at the ancestry of the Flower Fairies: Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Mote, and Mustardseed are nothing if not Flower Fairy names! But the Flower Fairies as we know and love them today really got their chance at literary life under the illustrative pen of Cecily Mary Barker. This lovely young woman suffered from epilepsy which prevented her from going to school. So she schooled at home and spent a great deal of her time studying art, especially the art of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Fairies were a popular theme in Victorian society. Queen Mary (who owned the most MAGNIFICENT doll house EVER) was particularly interested in all things fairy. And she was a tremendous fan of Cecily Mary Barker's work! Ms. Barker was a devout Anglican . . . which pleases me since my husband was raised Anglican, and we attend and Anglican church. She illustrated Bible stories and hymn books for children, but her most famous work will always be her Flower Fairies. These childlike little imps, while completely magical, have a very natural air in their garden settings. According to Ms. Barker's stories, every time a seed drops, a Flower Fairy is born. This baby grows along with the flower and tends it, watering it and chasing away pests. While having other adventures along the way, of course! Cecily Mary Barker's beautiful fairies have inspired many variations since. My first encounter with Flower Fairies came from the picture book The RunawayFairy by Molly Brett, who was heavily inspired by Ms. Barker's works. This was, quite possibly, my favorite picture book growing up. I just adored the story of Rose and her quest to save her rose garden! And I always watched for flower fairies in the beds of my mother's sumptuous English garden, especially among the pink climbing roses. I even tried disguising myself as one of their kind . . . never with any luck, alas! These days, my love of Flower Fairies continues strong. I have a lovely collection of Cecily Mary Barker fairy Christmas ornaments that decorate my tree every year: I also have an extensive collection of fairy figurines and pictures from my childhood, saved up and tucked away in the attic. For someday, if God blesses me with a baby girl, she might just like Flower Fairies too . . . So what about you? What Flower Fairies have you encountered?

I have collected them and placed them here only as a resource for myself and others who are interested in Tudor and Stuart history. Mary I (popularly known in the English-speaking world as Mary, Queen of Scots and, in France, as Marie Stuart) (8 December 1542 – 8 February 1587) was Queen of Scots from 14 December 1542 to 24 July 1567. She was the only surviving legitimate child of King James V. She was six days old when her father died and made her Queen of Scots. Her mother, Mary of Guise, assumed regency and her daughter was crowned nine months later. In 1558, she married Francis, Dauphin of France, who ascended the French throne as Francis II in 1559. However, Mary was not Queen of France for long; she was widowed by December 1560. After her husband's death, Mary returned to Scotland, arriving in Leith on 19 August 1561. Four years later, Mary remarried, choosing her first cousin, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, as her second husband. Their union turned unhappy and in February 1567, Darnley was found dead in the garden at Kirk o'Field, after a huge explosion had taken place in the house. She soon married James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, who was generally believed to be Darnley's murderer. Following an uprising against the couple, Mary was imprisoned in Loch Leven Castle on 15 June and forced to abdicate the throne in favour of her one-year-old son. After an unsuccessful attempt to regain the throne, Mary fled to England seeking protection from her father's first cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, whose kingdom she hoped to inherit. Elizabeth, however, ordered her arrest, because of the threat presented by Mary, who was considered the rightful ruler of England by many English Catholics. After a long period of custody in England, she was tried and executed for treason following her alleged involvement in three plots to assassinate Elizabeth and place herself on the English throne.
