    Minta: More Than a Photo to Me

    Bylbroper80 March 8, 2021August 11, 2022

    This is Armintha Leah Meadows Holliday, know as “Minta”.  She was my great great grandmother.  She lived her entire life in West Virginia, born in 1871 and passing away in 1927.  I love that I have a photograph of her, it hangs in my dining room.  I often gaze at her while I’m doing stuff around the house.  I “talk” to her, I ask her questions “how did you do it?  Was being a mother hard for you too?”  Her presence in my home is a comfort to me.  I know that she successfully raised my great grandfather to be a strong, successful, and loving man.

    How to Recreate Jackie O’s Signature Summer Style

    Bylbroper80 March 1, 2021June 27, 2023

    Jackie Kennedy Onassis is obviously a huge fashion icon and inspiration for many, myself included.  I particularly love her summer style, it was just.. so.. Florida.  Her embrace of Jack Rogers sandals and shift dresses, often by Lilly Pulitzer would go on to inspire sorority girls of the Sunshine State to emulate this look for…

    The Color Purple: Couture of the Ancient World

    Bylbroper80 February 19, 2021April 21, 2023

    Why Does Lydia Love Purple? Purple isn’t just a pretty color,  to me it has a deep significance (both historically and spiritually) which is why I chose to add the word into the title of my blog.  I’m named after Lydia in the Bible.  She was a seller of purple cloth and the first European…
