Bride Will Be the 11th Woman in Her Family to Wear 120-Year-Old Heirloom Wedding Dress – One of my favorite kind of stories. ❤️

Girls in the Windows by Ormond Gigli – Weirdly, I have this poster in our front hall. Have carried it around from house to house for decades and finally got it framed a couple of years ago. Always found it so striking. Fun to learn the full story behind it.

Not Yours music video by Hrdza – So welcome to my roots again. This was filmed in Osturna, the village all Smolenyaks hail from.
