Not really vintage, aside from the fact that gemstones have been around since the beginning of time...but I bought beads! Lots and lots of pretty beads!
Today I wore my Target dress (I actually found one in my size!) - the black one posted about in the VI Clothing topic...It came with a black sash, but it looked too plain, so I made a new sash out of leopard print material, and I also made a little headband to match. Wore it with my leopard...
Mmm...Peeps....the trick to eating them is to slice open the plastic and allow the cute little marshmallow critters to harden ever so slightly. Or, you can grab some chocolate and graham crackers and make Peep S'Mores....MMmmmmm
Oh boy...where do I begin!?
Typical Chick Flick movies:
"You've Got Mail"
"Joe Vs. The Volcano"
"Sleepless in Seattle" (notice a trend?)
"Pretty Woman" (guilty pleasure!)
"Bridget Jones' Diary" (both of them)
"Brokedown Palace" (not really a chick flick, I guess)
"Inventing The...

Hips = 21.5-22"
Armholes = 6.5"...

Here are what the capri's...
I have a thing for peaches. My hubby gave me the nickname "Peaches" while we were dating...we were talking about comfort foods and he was telling me how his mom always serves a side of fruit with every meal to make sure it's well-balanced. We both agreed that peaches were our favorite...from...
Hubby and I had the privilege to see Bauhaus in concert over the summer...they put on quite a show! It was great - during "Bela Lugosi's Dead" a terrible thunder storm rolled in. As if Peter Murphy wasn't dramatic enough, the lightning and thunder added so much to the performance!
You'll have to wait until Lady Day gets her copy in the mail...I'm still too new to sewing to even think about this one! It was just too cute to pass up, though! :)
The more I think about this, I really can't pin-point when I first started having an interest in anything vintage. I know it definitely started with music; my Grandfather who passed away in October would always listen to WOWO, a radio station that always played "oldies" (Now it's talk radio, I...

I just got this today...brand-spanking-new! The size is 14-22 (modern). I don't plan on using it for a rather long time, as I'm still learning, but if any one else can get some good use out of it, be my guest! *nudges LadyDay...*
