I know this seems a bit trivial after my last post...I think these booties are so adorable. They are from a cute blog I watch called BOUTIQUE NUTMEG, and these sure are pretty with bright fun fabrics!
I am writing in the wee hours in the morning because I have been glued to the TV watching a documentary on the violence towards women in the Congo called THE GREATEST SILENCE: RAPE IN THE CONGO. I strongly feel that every woman should watch this, although it is graphic and disturbing. But somehow I felt that I had to watch it, if not to pay some respect to the women who were brave enough to acknowledge what had happened to them.
I know Opera did a special on this a couple of years ago, but I had never seen the film before this evening. Powerful and something I will always remember, the faces of those women.
The B.B. stands for Brooke Bartholomew (a mouthful, I know). "Bibelot" was a tribute to the years I lived in France. Over a decade ago I began this blog because I was going to boutique shows and selling my homemade baby blankets, burp cloths and Mommy & Me crystal bracelets. After a few years of trying the boutique'ing scene I closed shop, but kept the blog. It was fun to have a place to share all of my random projects. Liz Stanley (Say Yes) and Susan Petersen (Freshly Picked) are the two gals who introduced me to the joys of blogging over a decade ago in the Avenues, SLC. It was fun to be a part of the entire process, their skill and creativity left me in awe and inspired this blog. Currently, this blog is a mod-podge of craft projects, home improvement projects, random opinions and soap box moments. This blog seems to change along with the various changes of our family life, but there will always be a craft or home improvement project sprinkled in here somewhere because I love a good project.
