GOT BETTER, WENT SHOPPING

Thanks for all the "get wells". I did and for the first time since New Years break, I went shopping.
This is the 3rd dress from a company called Tianna B. that I've found second hand. I know nothing about the company and as far as I know, I've never run across them new.  The label says "Made in USA" so that's something.

Maybe from the 80's.  It  has shoulder pads, which I'll probably take out.

The print is sweet and I like the little tie front


Ready for the next luau.  Made in Hawaii muu muu. It's hard to see the ruffle at the bottom
The print is wonderful. It also says "Aloha" Cotton blend fabric, so I don't think it's really old


I love buying vintage patterns(when they're cheap). Who know cargo pants were popular in the 1950's? Jacket not included.
Ok, I did my bit. The Girl Scout was wearing a pink tutu, how could I not stop and buy some?

My fingers are crossed that I stay health for the rest of the year. Thanks again for all the support. Love you all more than puppy dogs and candy bars.

I'VE BEEN A BAD BLOGGER

Well. not really. I've been sick again and missed 2 days of work. I'm feeling better, but haven't felt like posing for photos. Here's a few from the past couple of months that for some reason never got posted
With Parrish Morgan, star of The Would-Be Gentlemen. I'm wearing one of the 2 pieces of gray clothing that I own.

My pet peacock. And snake bone earrings.
At least I made the bed, sort of.
Until next time!

WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 33

Yesterday was Fat Tuesday, the end of Mardi Gras. So here are the King and Queen
The King and Queen of Mardi Gras are Kimcraft dolls. They still have the original price tags that say "$6.25"
Both have the same detail on their capes. They're both a little shabby, but so is New Orleans.

 BORING WEEK AT WORK

Some photos that have been floating around my laptop. Huge bougainvillea growing up the side of an apartment building in Athens.
Dress made out of tar paper and nails. The hat is made form chicken wire. Atlanta airport International concourse

Last June on a beautiful, clear day, half of our pecan tree broke off. It missed the building next door and no cars where parked in the lot....thanks goodness.

A good up-cycle of campaign  signs. Atlanta airport

No martini's on the boat ramp! Stick to beer. Thank you, South Carolina

You know you live in the South when........yep, that's a dog sitting on top of the pick up truck.

Why you should keep broken jewelry.
It was boring at work last week because all there was to do was hemming, alterations and laundry. Sometimes "show biz" isn't exciting. But, the next show is gearing up, it's Pippin, so who knows what kinds of crazy stuff we'll be making for that?
