Were you watching the board? ;)

Nope the boys did it for me. They didn't even need my help!


Just checking in here and there. Moving kind of slow today. But I did get your fabric washed!
It really looks great in the pictures-better than in the store! I am very happy for you. Now, you get to start filling it up with all your new vintage stuff!!

definitely NOT VBO, and DEFINITELY a splurge (I rarely spend $35 on ANYTHING!) - but it was just so BEAUTIFUL! (the picture is of the back)

Yay clean fabric!

I did clean it up a bit. It was dusty. I filled three drawers already and put all my family photos on top. Even added a bit of Asian flair.

I'm going to get cleaned up and go buy some frames for the "new" family photos I recently acquired. Then that huge gap in front will be filled with pics too. I'm happy with where I put it and I think it looks great with my other furniture. :D

Not VBO, but quite pricey, but I just had to have it as it's new old stock.

My hat and earrings arrived too, all in MINT condition, so I'll have to snap a few pics soon. I'm just waiting on two dresses.

I also watching some very fairly priced dresses that end in a few days, so wish me luck! And, btw, gals, great finds (as ever)! :D

:eek: Oh my god I love your dress. And yes I did see the polka dot dress and was very temted to bid on it, but I'm broke at the moment. It's not fair:( when I have spending money I can't find anything, and when I don't. I see all these lovely dresses up for auction. It's not fair it's not fair I tell ya:( lol

Rockapin-up: The same things happen to me. :( I am watching three dresses on e-bay right now and I'll find a way to make them mine! Muahahahah.

Pink: That buffet is splendid! Enjoy. It looks very much at home in your place.

New hat and earrings!

I got my new hat today and it fit like a dream! I just grabbed the camera real quick and paired the hat with my newest earrings. Please excuse my moonpie face! :eek:
