They really are too cute.

Here are some photos I took last summer that I really like.

So apparently I broke the rules on flickr so they terminated me. I suppose I had coming considering I can read. Anyways I made a new Virginia Blue account. It has two spaces instead of one. Im re-uploading all my WR shots. So please find me and be friends with me again. Sorry about all of this. I went to an auction last night and accidently took home the motherload of 40's Dresses. I feel overwhelmed and selfish, so you'll be seeing a lot of these clothes up on my next auction...which is at an unknown time and date. But I did begin to photograph them and halfway through I passed out on my bed. At the auction I also won three boxes of junk for $2 because one box I wanted had a pretty dress in it. Auctions are strange. Pictures to come, I just wanted to let everyone known what was going on with my flickr.

Flickr?

My entire Flickr account has disappeared. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Im so confused!

5 THINGS!!!!

I was tagged by All this Happiness to show you 5 things in my purse! Since I change my bag quite often I never have anything too interesting....but here goes nothing.

1. 40's Sunglasses, or maybe 50's
2. Metal bobbin from Teddy for my broken machine
3. Sharpie, always for doodling, eye liner for when Im feeling daring
4. Thrift store/post office receipts....old candy wrappers
5. A little booklet about how missionaries live on the islands, and a banana bread recipe I have yet to use

5 things im "into"

1. Old kitchenware, wall art and linens for my apartment come fall

2. Ravi Zacharias, an extremely wise apologetic speaker

3. White Teeth

4. Antique Malls that secretly hold vintage clothes

5. ALMONDS!

I'll post about my room when it isn't such a disaster.
Im sure there are many more things im far more into but this is what came to mind first.
now im tagging Clever Nettle, and The Snail and the Cyclops because I think everyone else I know and love has already been tagged....yes?

Auctions

Not mine, though I do have some up right now. But real auctions! Has anyone ever been to any? Im going to attempt this Tuesday in hopes of scoring some shady looking vintage clothing that probably won't be worth the drive. But none the less I will attempt because I need an adventure, last week I died of boredom. No joke. My last trip to the auction house left my with one paper dress and newly gained friendships with two men named Bob. Auctions can be so intimidating and scary. They also can be quite long and drawn out. You can go there for one item and wait several hours before they even bring it up to bid on. Im no expert, I just want to get a few cheap vintage dresses for my growing "classic" wardrobe.

In other news my hunt for the perfect swim suit on ebay got a little hectic last week when I bid and won two way above my prize range swim suits. The first one on accident....eh-hem im returning it....and the second one hopefully will be perfect. It may be a bit big but im an O-K seamstress.New with tags 1942, black halter? PLEASE FIT ME!!!!!!

All In The Family

It's really special being able to own and wear something that once belonged to someone in your family. After my grandma passed away in February little vintage treasures have been trickling down to me. Yesterday my mom and I were going through her broaches and I found this cute rose one. I love everything about it, mostly that at one time I know my Grandma loved it too. It's a little bizarre how glamorous my grandmother was. Soon I'll do a post about the other things she left my mother and I.

Here are some photos I took of my mother and Grandmother for my Photography class. I was documenting our lives and my Grandmothers life after her stroke.

I hope in the future to show more of my art and talk about things that are more important to me than clothing...take care everyone.
