Ah Dear Readers… I thought I would share my dream life… (We all have one don’t we?)
I LOVE old movies… I love old (I mean vintage) clothes… I LOVE the fashions of the 20′s through the 50′s. The 60′s are fun too but I could never carry them off. I see my girls in the fashions of the 60′s… young and fun.
Some day, I am going to have one “dream day.” And here it is.
I am going to leisurely wake up… None of this dragging myself out of bed at 5 Am and starting work. Noo- I want to slip in to my sheer peignoir and my feather mules and enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee with my perfectly coiffed hair and ruby red full lips.
In all honesty I am reading a book here- not gazing in to a mirror admiring my “ruby red” lips! Then… I’d like to lay around at the pool… I’d like lunch served at the pool. Yes… and maybe a fancy cocktail… or two!
In the afternoon a little shopping would definitely be in order… I would need to change in to a lovely day dress. Maybe something like this:
I am thinking the lovely pink one would work for me.
Oh Dear! Grocery shopping- NO- and most definitely not with my pet deer… 
I think I’d prefer jewelry shopping or maybe a new dress as it seems I sure have to change a LOT in my dream life!
Speaking of changing, I will definitely want to change for dinner. Put on an elegant dress and dine on Lobster and Filet Mignon. And I’d drink champagne cocktails or Manhattans… Cheers!
I will definitely need to end the evening with some dancing.
Ahhh- the life. I am sort of exhausted! Seriously!
The reality? Crawl out of bed, make myself some tea, and wear flannel jammy pants and a sweatshirt. I work from home so I can stay in those jammy pants all day if I want! Eat oatmeal, soup and whatever I can scrape up for dinner. In between I chauffeur one of those darn kids around and maybe run an errand or 2. Oh, and in my free time? I sew! I guess my life has a charm all it’s own!
For 2013 I am compiling my sewing goals. I do have 2 “for sure no matter what” projects on my list that involve vintage… Here is one! The other is at home and I already have a fabric for it… Can’t wait!
Hope you all have a Happy New Year- in case I don’t get the urge to blog again until 2013!

I’d like to join your party- I’ll get the head waiter to bring one of those tiny tables to the edge of the dance floor and a place to tether my wolfhound!
Oh, definitely Dahling. The more the merrier. (Loving the image of the tethered wolfhound!) -L
Yep, the pink getup looks gorgeous, and would look swell while eating an expensive lobster! I just finished watching Hitchcock’s “The Birds” – I love how even in thrillers, the women wear fantastic ensembles. Thanks for sharing!

I watched “Day of the Triffids” yesterday and commented on one of the stars delightful suits she was wearing despite the horror facing her! I so agree!
I’m in for a day in your dream life… But crashing back to reality, I can’t wait to see that vi rage pattern all made up, it’s gonna be a stunner! Maybe that’s what I should do too, take a leaf from your book and have a small number of MUST makes and then no pressure about the gazillion others on my wish list?!
Vi rage?! Stoopid spell check, I meant vintage!
LOL… and what does spell check think Vi rage means??
I have SOOOO many things I would like to do but have decided to be realistic and have some “MUSTS” and then some MAYBES and Hopeful’s.
I love these pictures
Thanks for sharing !
I can’t wait to see how it turns out, I will definately be keeping an eye out for this gem! Shauna
