I was thinking of you, 23 - one of the books that didn't get photographed due to being upstairs amongst the bedside reads, is a 1941 floppy yearbook, from Minersville, PA. The hairdos on those girls - wowser!
The clothes on here are beautiful and drool-worthy! I haven't any fresh garments to share yet (but stay tuned for arrival of recent Etsy order....), however, I did make a rather hefty purchase yesterday afternoon. Let me say I pride myself on my shopping restraint in most situations, but...
Funny you should mention the tie; it was one of the first things I noticed - being so big and bright and loud, and that early scene that focuses on him picking it up, followed by the flashback of his wife giving it to him. It seemed clearly a key part of the story (well, not the final outcome...
"Shutter Island" tonight. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie at the cinema, but with a free pass to an advanced screening, how could I say no?
The previews had enticed me, but I must say they're a bit misleading.
I was expecting an action/thriller/ghost-hunting kind of story...
So, are you saying if I come across some sad, battered chenille at a bargain price, I should snatch it up for you? ;)
Btw, I adore that dress you got - it's fabu, and such a fantastic fabric! We'll be seeing a photo of you wearing it, I presume....
As I titled my blog post, "I'm a sucker for an orphan", which includes tattered, frayed old quilts with holes. Saw this a week ago at the thrift and proudly walked away, but when it was still there today, and reduced to $7.50, I weakened and brought it home. It can't be saved as a quilt, but...
We decorated cereal boxes in elementary school; though I liked to make my Valentines from scratch (doilies, foil, red feathers, glitter...), there were a lot of sweet store-bought ones available. These days all I notice are boxes of branded Valentines - NASCAR (!?), pop stars, cartoon...
One of my favorite childhood poems:
"WRECK OF THE HESPERUS"
It was the schooner Hesperus,
That sailed the wintery sea;
And the skipper had taken his little daughter,
To bear him company.
Blue were her eyes as the fairy flax,
Her cheeks like the dawn of day,
And her bosom white as...
I forgot I had this until it appeared during yesterday's major overhaul of the desk and its surrounding stacks of ephemera.
And somewhere I have a charming paper doll of Little Edie Beale, but I can't remember where I put it for safekeeping....
Having rather wide, straight-across-at-the-toes feet, I really prefer to try before I buy, especially with heels. My shoes range from 8.5 - 9.5. I ordered the Diesels in a 9, and they fit nicely.
Today I stayed in all day, but after my noonish shower, dressed in a fitted top, short...
