Episode 4: What is Charm?

She’s charming. He’s a charmer. Prince Charming. When you hear someone described as “charming,” what images does it bring to mind? Listen in as Jennifer tries to dissect what writers of the past have said about the quality of charm, and what it means for us today.

Episode 1: Introduction
This episode is an introduction to a new podcast called A Sparkling Vintage Life Host Jennifer Leo explains how she came to love all things vintage and sometimes feels as if she was meant to live in an earlier era. Through A Sparkling Vintage Life she’ll be celebrating the best of the past and discussing ways to incorporate vintage elements into a 21-century woman’s life. She welcomes kindred spirits to join her on the journey!

Launch party day!
I was truly blessed today when intrepid readers and friends braved a spring snowstorm to make it to the launch party for Ain’t Misbehavin’. Held at a local coffee shop in Sandpoint, Idaho, the party was the bee’s knees.
It’s a Bouncing Baby Book!
Ain’t Misbehavin’ launches today! To celebrate, I thought you might like to hear the song that inspired the title. While the song was first published in 1929, this clip is from a 1943 movie called Stormy Weather in which the composer, Fats Waller, sings it. It’s been covered by many artists over the years. (If you have a favorite version, please share!) I’ll keep looking for an original 1929 recording to see if it’s any different.
Ain’t Misbehavin’ – We’ve got that covered!
And here it is! The bright and shining cover of Ain’t Misbehavin’, releasing in March 2018.
I think it goes nicely with the cover of the first book:
