Talk about good timing?
I was Kristin of Kleas' 1000th comment and so she sent me the most charming pincushion which will inspire me to make many more New Vintage Items. I love her pincushions: the color combos, the plumpness, the perfect tiny stiches on the blossoms. Just Look at the Cuteness!!
i wish i was tiny... it would be my tuffet.
Then Stephanie of Ruby Crowned Kinglet t said she drew my name from her blog birthday list? Wha? Hello? I must have been I very good girl in my previous life! ( Obviously, it can't have been based on anything I have been up to in this one, I assure you.)
You can buy a spring wristlet for yourself, i mean, if you are feeling envious ( if I wasn't me, probably I would be feeling a little envious.. not to gloat.. much).. at Steph's shop
She also sent candy ( I love candy...) and the vintage pattern that made me swoon.
The outfit will have to have its own cocktail party. I am going to have to have a sweeping staircase added to my single story house so I can make a proper entrance.. You know... Like Auntie Mame.
Thanks ladies, for making me lucky.
Since you aren't wee enough to use the pincushion as a tuffet, perhaps you can (from time-to-time) share it with the gnomes. I don't think they'd be too greedy with it, because they're pretty busy and don't sit down a lot.
ReplyDeleteoh, if you have a cocktail party for the outfit then i am definitely coming down for that! glad you enjoyed the goodies.
ReplyDeleteah... Auntie Mame! What a divine fashion icon! Lucky you with all that loot!!
ReplyDeleteCan Not Wait to see the CaprisDress.
ReplyDelete::swoon:: oh my, what lovely goodies!
ReplyDeleteA cocktail party? A sweeping staircase? I can't decide which is better. Maybe you could just rent one. Lucky gal!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is lovely...very Lucy Ricardo-ish!

The loot is fabulous! It's a good thing I didn't win that delicious looking pin cushion because if I had I would be chewing on it right now.
ReplyDeleteJust like a dog, I guess.
Then Philip would really start worrying.
But the pattern is making me hyperventilate! I wish it was in a size 38 or 40 because then I could copy it and make it when I get a wee bit smaller than I am right now. That is one of those very hard to find patterns that is just too good for words.
I hope to see this one on the New Vintage Wardrobe group in the near future!
Ah, Auntie Mame. You have scored indeed.
ReplyDeleteyou say the sweetest things :)
ReplyDeletethat is one cocktail party i wouldn't want to miss...can't wait to see your make of this dress.
I haven't been reading you for long but I can tell from what I've seen that that pattern is so you! I can't wait to see what you make with it.
ReplyDeleteScore on that pattern
