Oh the people you meet !

When I started this little blog a couple of years ago, I never imagined the number of lovely people that I would come into contact with!!!

It has been an absolute delight to share ideas, stories, craft, likes and dislikes..... so a few months ago when I was contacted by the lovely Marni Elyse Katz (all the way from the other side of the world) asking for permission to use a picture I took when writing about my gorgeous dress form, you could have knocked me over with a feather!

Of course I said , 'yes'.....

Marni recently contacted me to say that the article that she had written about dress forms was on

 'The Inside Source'

You can  read the article here

it never ceases to amaze me.... who would have thought !!!

Hoping to finally catch up on what everyone has been up to....

Enjoy 

Vintage Girl

Sitting here wondering what to post about when I spy my gorgeous vintage girl out of the corner of my eye..

I have always loved vintage 'dress makers dummys' or  'vintage forms' as they are known..

Sandy from Paint Me White recently posted about a dress form that she had found...

I originally went searching for my girl a number of years ago and had difficulty finding one until  I visited here

I love the way they can add character to a room.

I paid way too much for my girl but she is delightful....  she is a 1920's or 1930's edition with a flat chest and tiny hips and waist .....

I often wonder where she has been and what she has seen...if only she could talk..

She used to sit in my bedroom, adorned with a white dress ( no not my wedding dress)

(no my room no longer looks like that either....)

Now I have her in the living area..naked except for a necklace, tape measure and some of my grandmothers vintage brooches.....

This is not her final  resting spot... I have plans for her... but I was trying to get a full length photo....

I do need to buy that camera....

Yes,  if only she could talk !!!!!!!!!!!
