Is that still the case? I thought with the passports they didn't need to... But I don't have a clue. I'll apply for her passport and ask then!
I'd better stop talking "dog", my cat's giving me evil looks! lol

Oh I hardly think I can compete with the fabulous curves of that model but I DO love the dress and it fits like a glove. I can't tell you how brilliant it was having a warm wool dress to wear in the winter that STILL looked glam!

I got a new hat from Urban Outfitters, not somewhere I usually find hats, but it's cute!

 

[deadpandiva]

The brand is faryl Robin and the style is Fenway. I got mine at 6pm.com for a great price. They are really comfortable.

You're right, that is cute.

I am exited about this as it looks simple enough.

Not clothing but this was in mint unused condition. This is the only complete and mint vintage non repro paper doll set I have.

I look like Minnie Pearl in this. I am going to take it apart and use it to cover a sailor frame.

Ok, you can hate me starting right *now*. [HATE]

So you know those times when something hits you wrong and you KNOW that you deserve it due to karma? Well, this is finally the OPPOSITE of that experience.

Last weekend was our city-wide garage sale. For those of you who aren't familiar with this concept, it started in the midwest I believe. The entire city has a garage sale, and City Hall has sign ups and distributes maps of all the garage sales in town. It is absolutely amazing. All the garage sales open and close at the same time, and you can get free signs at city hall. There are hundreds of garage sales on the same day.

The weekend after the garage sale, the annual trash pickup occurs. The city is trying to reduce the amount of trash, so they started the annual garage sale the weekend beforehand.

Well, for all the right reasons, I made a conscious effort to NOT go to all the garage sales: high price of gas, low on money, and most importantly, the charity I was volunteering at had their annual sale and they were woefully short of volunteers. So, instead of celebrating my favorite holiday of the year, I stuck myself in a store for about six hours.

Anyway, I was driving to the store and about a mile up the road the wonderful police closed the road (no signs down at the bottom of the hill, of course). I get to the very top, and am turned around. So I go down the bottom of the hill and make a detour. And what appears before my eyes: GARAGE SALES! So, I step quickly out of the car and this is what I found at the first sale:

1940's fabric from England, uncut with the tags still on. Vintage tweed, wool and 100% cashmere. And vintage trim, 1920's booties and children's knitted capelet and baby blanket and 1940's knitted apron. Plus more! I got the whole pile for $25. And the seller knew what she was selling - it was her mother's, and she brought it back from England!

Sometimes karma is a b*tch. And sometimes, it rewards you well.

[/HATE] Your hate experience is now expired. Thank you for joining us for this experience and hate with us again soon.

Great find, VB! ! I love to see someone make a good score like that - almost as much as I like making them myself.
