heyguesswhat!!!

iiiit's HAT WEEK again!!

so to start off another week dedicated to delightful toppers (now that it's finally cold enough to wear a hat without having your head melt off) here is what i wore for church tonight!

jb darling didn't wear her hat because she was a little discomobobulated (yes that's a real word)... she got rearended yesterday 8/  and ht week officially starts tomorrow!!! yay!!

so i have my "wonder woman" dress (it has that cool squiggy thing on the waist) and vintage gold gloves from before and a vintage pillbox!  hot pink no less :)  getting dressed i was running around looking for the hat pins but to no avail... so i just had to not move around a whole lot :)



i'll try to post some detail pictures later.

loves!

time marches on..

oh.my.flippin.goodness.GRACIOUS!!!!  
i'm out at my grandparents ranch in west texas and it is hot and dry like nobody's business...there is only grass where the hose is running and where the windmill tank has run over...   not to mention that, after a neighbors violation of the burn ban, a good chunk of the ranch has burned, leaving nothing but a ghastly, charred, and spindly reminder of what was once there.  so in remembrance of what used to be and to memorialize the beauty within the burn, a friend, angela, and i went out and took pictures amid the remains.  most of the images are on film from my old pentax but we did get a few shots via iPhone.  i will get the prints scanned and posted (but don't hold your breath... you might pass out before i get them up.. (;  ).

today angela and i went into town to hit up the local resale shops before they closed and believe you me, we got it big time!  i went into town with $50 and came back with $17 and two armloads of stuff and a gallon of milk and 5 bananas :)   so i'll be going home with a total of 3 new/old suitcases, 5 vintage thermoses, and 5 new pictures in the frame, 2 more vintage cameras (and a flash) and one pair of vintage ice skates!  no, i'm not a hoarder... i'm a collector ;)

here's a bit of my score


sorry about the terrible picture.. i think the camera on my phone has like 3 megapixs :/

i'll have to post  better pic of that fantastic 70's mini dress that in the center.. it's colors are super crazy and it's super cute!!

just another day...

yes well it is just another day...
and just the other day i wore this fun combo...





see that adorable top.. long story but i got it and 54 other vintage pieces, brand new tag'n all
 for... free.   
no joke.
i know some people who knew this old lady who had a shop for year but hardly sold anything so the had a shop full of piles and piles of vintage... and she died and donated it all to the local church. well the poor Father didn't know what on earth to do with it so he said we could take any of it...
i almost passed out.

i'll post pics of my finds later!!
