Gold and White Banner Ornament

Gold and White Banner Ornament



Nine ladies dancing...oh wait, that's the wrong 12 Days of Christmas. It's the ninth day of the 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Ornaments. Silly me. The finish line is in sight, y'all! Today's ornament is shimmery, shiny gold and white! I clearly have a thing for gold, white and clear ornaments. If you want to see the whole lineup, including plenty of gold and white, head back to Day 1.

Goth in All White

Goth in All White


As I posted about a few weeks ago, I had to wear white this past Saturday to participate in a 100 year old college tradition called Laurel Parade. Yeah. A Goth wearing white. Tragic.


As a part of graduation weekend, the seniors wear all white (plus accessories in our class color, blue) and then carry a long laurel chain to wrap around the grave of the college founder. We are joined on all sides by alumnae dating back to 1946 and beyond who are on campus for their reunions. When there, we sing the school song and Bread and Roses in tribute to labor strikes from the early 20th century.

An alumnae class processes in their class color, red.
Its a wonderful tradition and it was very emotional to walk with my best friends and be greeted on all sides by alumnae, the perfect first step to graduating.

My dress was just a basic white one from eShakti, and I wore our class scarf and a pretty floral wreath that I got off of Etsy. My plan for the dress, because it is cotton, is to dye it so that I can wear it again, maybe dark purple or red. 

Friends!
And then, on Sunday, I graduated cum laude in History and Art History . Whoo!


So, for now, onto the corporate job that I blogged about previously. Then, back to academia for graduate school.
