The photo shoot went well!
This is what a typical day is like for me. Dirty dishes to do. Stuff left out on the counter, living room, dining table,etc. Laundry waiting for me. But, it's all part of being a wife and mommy, which I LOVE!!! My mom gave me this great vintage apron and it helps make my domestic life a little more thrilling! :-)
Here it is...better late than never! I took these yesterday, but I'm finally getting around to post them. My dear Craftster.org friend Jane of Glorious Hats made this fascinator and sent it to me! What a gal! She also sent me a darling Kumihimo Braiding Kit. It's primo. I'm having such fun with it! I'll post pictures of it another day.
Still looking for a dress to wear to a fancy wedding. I had this in mind, but I'm going to take it back and get a cocktail dress. Yes, I know I should just design one, but I'm not really in the mood for sewing right now. Sorry about the angle. I have to hang my camera on the coat rack in order to get the shot. All other precipices in the room are either too high or too low.
What do you think...fancy enough for a ritzy-glitzy wedding? My husband has a co-worker who's getting married this month. It's an evening wedding. I'll post another dress tomorrow and you can help me decide between the two. (My hubby votes for this one.)
This shot reminds me of a 1960's year book photo.
The last of my Grandmother's formal gowns to show you. This one is bubble gum pink! My husband dislikes this dress entirely. Double-knit polyester, great lace jacket, Pepto-Bismol color...what's not to love?! If it were a tad smaller, I'd wear it for a night out on the town! (If I could find anyone who would go with me, that is!)
This is her 'Mother of the Groom' dress from her youngest son's wedding in the early seventies.
Me.
My back yard.
Big sunglasses and a vintage hat.
A little color-tweaking for the retro 1960's magazine look.
Green is not my best color, but I had to show off my vintage mobius scarf!
Non-edited to show the great colors of the scarf...and my freckles.
My in-laws have this fabulous vintage piece of patio furniture. It sort of reminds me of my Grandparent's patio furniture, so I'm pretty nostalgic about it.
