I was a dancer all along ................

Lykke Li - Dance Dance Dance

On most Monday mornings I always feel like dancing instead of working .... This adorable song will bring back the kid in you, a smile to your face and a felicitous moment!

Quick Etsy Shop Update...... And jewelry!

Here's a quick etsy shop update that I've worked on for past few days! I might somehow be related to the sloth animacules when it comes to shop updates and frequent blog posts but when you don't see me here just hop over my etsy or ebay shop and see what I am up to and ask me anything. Cause believe in "It is a definite NO if one doesn't ask!!! :)

On the otherhand my friends I've made history tonight by simply reading instructions from Adobe and learned how to create a collage on my new software "Photoshop Elements 8" in just an hour! I'm feeling a little self-respect because I could work through it without further assistance. I think the photos could have been larger for better viewing but I'm pleased with this collage for it being my first one.  What do you guys think?!

P.s. I have some beautiful old Vintage/Antique 1900s oval and 1800s heart locket pendants and other collectibles of vintage jewelry ending this Sunday on ebay at 9:00pm Central Time. Take a peek!

Currently listening to: Noisettes - Don't Upset The Rhythm (Go Baby Go)

The rhythm of summer time ...................

Summer time and the living is easy. Fish are jumping and the cotton is definitely high as far laundry concerns in my case. I'm still washing & ironing the finds. Just a quick post to let you all know I'm not buried underneath all the clothes from my last post.

On another note, get an eyeful of my pale legs! I'm wearing shorts for the first this year and they seriously need to atleast match my arms. Looks like it is time for the tanning lotion again!



I also ran across some pretty good old music and wanted to share these versions with you. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer.  My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music.  It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips.  ~Violette Leduc, Mad in Pursuit

An Avalanche of Vintage purses, Clothes, Shoes Finds in Nashville Tennessee

I just discovered years of vintage dresses, skirts, blouses, sweaters, shoes, hats and much more. Word of mouth got to their family members that I would be interested in buying some of the vintage clothing from not one but three sisters each with a very different sense of style. For the record the ladies did not believe on throwing anything away. While riffling through the mountainous terrain of cloth meet threads, buttons and zippers I found pieces right in line with spring, fall and summer’s hottest trends from the ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and I could only describe the clothes as an avalanche of wearable.
































As an Etsy-obsessed as I am, I will be sharing some these beautiful finds once they are washed, soaked and ironed and at times steam cleaned before they will go on Etsy. So wish me luck!


And yes there’s more……………

Make hay while the sun shines!

This phrase means to do things at the most suitable occasion.

I take it to mean "don't procrastinate." If the sun is out make hay as in the next moment it is raining you won't be able to. Like if you feel like doing yard work later than sooner you might not get the chance later if something comes up be it rain or something else.













Outfit:
Dress: Vintage 1950’s Full Skirt Yellow Flowers
Vintage fascinator Hat: Loveman’s Inc. McHenry’s Hat Nashville
Purse: Vintage Dooney and Burke beige cognac trim
Shoes: Calvin Klein Beige Gold Mesh Espadrilles Sandals
